Kansas City Chiefs Star Apologizes For ‘Toxic Fan Base’ Comment

Trade talk and frustration have sparked an online war of words. 

Sadly, this is another controversy local news has ignored . . . 

THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS REBUKE 'TOXIC' FANS AMID LOSING SEASON FRUSTRATION!!!

Special thanks to AWESOME TKC READERS for encouraging us to post a social media beef that has now sparked nationwide controversy. 

Check the sitch . . .

The Chiefs players were responding to a list on a fan's Instagram account that ranked the so-called "bad" moves general manager Brett Veach has made over the last few years. Hitchens’ five-year, $45 million contract made the list . . . Mathieu piled on, saying the Chiefs fan base "might be one of the most toxic fan bases in all of sports."

For the record . . .

This is a DUMB move and possibly one of the most misguided statements we've ever seen from a local pro-sports athlete. We expect an apology soon and if the Chiefs don't get ahead of this PR NIGHTMARE quickly they risk not only what's left of their season but also their local legacy.
