Today marks an important date for the propaganda promulgated by Kansas CIty pro-sports team.
February 8th marks the day that Derrick Thomas died.
The Chiefs recently shared this blast with their fans that include this town's least favorite blogger:
"15 years ago today we lost one of the best to ever put on a Chiefs jersey."
Probably . . . But that statement doesn't offer a complete picture of the Kansas City legend.
As usual, national media has more courage to accurately describe local controversies than cowtown newsies.
A defining passage from ESPN:
"News that Thomas not only mismanaged the millions he made during an 11-year NFL career, but that he had no will, leaving seven children from five different women along with a host of creditors each staking claim to what's left of his dwindled finances."

As time passes the legacy of Thomas fades and for grown-up fans it becomes clear that pro-sports is just another way to bilk taxpayers and the urban core out of precious funds . . . Still, the myth endures as media and polite local denizens would rather not fact check so much hype that makes for nice sentiment but ultimately ends up costing the residents of this town.
Hopefully, we'll have more BREAKING EXCLUSIVE NEWS, discussion, debate, discourse, more than our share of hateration and a lot of good stuff from the morning update . . . STAY TUNED!!!
TKC, you are remiss if you don't remember that DT did a lot through his foundation and worked tirelessly to help others.
ReplyDeleteStupid nigger, trying to change his pants while driving his suv on a slick icy highway. REAL smart.
ReplyDeleteLook he died from his own stupidity and your right nobody gives a fuck anymore he was in the end a typical fucking nigger.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice toknow that a half billion dollar stadium could be converted to the world's most empty funeral parlor. Way to go tax payers.
ReplyDeleteGrow a sack 859 and share your point of view with co-workers at Wal Mart.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, you are a bigot sans courage.
8:59 is right.
DeleteOh fuck off 9:09, what you can't handle the truth. How many white men you know has 7 kids by 5 wifes and does not support any of them. 8:59 is dead on the money.
ReplyDeleteDT was a great football player but a piss poor dad.
ReplyDeleteWhich one earns tens of thousands of cheering fans?
Answer that and you'll discover that it's not about black or white, it's about right and wrong.
15 years ago it's already been, well those kids are off running around in the east side robbing people making and having babies.
ReplyDeleteHe started the example of overpaid niggers that will never take care of the whores that slept with them.
ReplyDeleteHe fucked up a good deal, and his kids have nothing! Shame.
Tony, get off your skinny ass, report how his children and the DT Academy kids are doing.... I hope its all roses, probably not.

ReplyDeleteOne of the best to put on a jersey = one of the worst to put on a condom.
ReplyDeleteDerrick's son, Derrion,owns 58 Fitness, a gym/fitness studio around 28th and Cherry. He seems to be doing ok as a young businessman.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warning 10:44. Who lives around 28th and Cherry that can support a gym/fitness studio? 100 people maybe? Probably better off as a shooting range. But ,thats only 15 legal owners probably so thats never gonna work. I'm guessing 58 fitness is broke, they just don't know it.
ReplyDeleteDerrick's daughter is doing good as well, she is a track star:
