KC was just the first franchise to donate, and probably won’t be the last. If we get to June or something without any action from the Rams, then it might be time to speculate, but right now they’re just one of 31 teams that haven’t donated to these victims. It takes time.

These people need, food, water, shelter, counseling etc. To put it in more perspective, some NFL teams have PSL’s that cost more…..

I am loving these good lockout stories here lately. It’s showing there is a heart at the center of all of BS.

I know that it was a scary situation for my family and the town.

Unfortunately there are situations such as Joplin, MO and Reading, KS, just to mention the two from this weekend, that are affected greater.

I am not a Chiefs fan but any football team willing to use the resources they have available to support towns that are hurting is a great thing.

People are dissing the Rams but they may not have had a chance to assess the amount of relief they will be able to provide. It will happen as this affects both Kansas and Missouri (part of tornado alley).

God bless all!!

My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone that was affected by the devastating weather this weekend.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Joplin.

What really surprises me though about this tragedy though is that thusfar there have been no reported sightings in the aftermath of Dr. Jesus Tebow.

One would think that Timmy would be johnny on the spot, handing out bibles, water bottles, more bibles, some MRE’s (meals ready to eat), and of course still more bibles…. but hey, it’s still early!

as don’t ever recall them helping in the past

this is why the chiefs are mizzu team and are one of the most respected franchises in the NFL

plus there so classy they put the commuinty 1st thats

so shame on the rams for not responding as quickly and being to dang cheap to help vixtems

as i live in kansas and i been in a tornado and know what its like and its sad the sheeps owners have yet to respond or even help the joplin victems

what a vary classless franchise you would think they would have responded by now

big kudos to the chiefs!
