It’s incredible that the Kansas City Chiefs cannot outsell their rivals in Kansas, especially given the presence of stars like Travis Kelce and Eric Berry. Kelce has certainly become a very popular offensive player with a television presence and outlandish style, the sort of personality that earns a passionate following and such fandom necessary to make these lists. Even more deserving is Berry, whose courageous story of overcoming Hodgkins lymphoma and returning to the field as good as ever is one of the NFL’s best stories overall in the last decade. As a likely future Hall of Famer, Berry should have much stronger home support than he should.
The problem for the Chiefs, however, primarily can be found in the fact that their quarterback is as vanilla as they come. He’s solid enough to remain entrenched for a half-decade, yet he lacks the swagger, the arm or the stats to ingratiate himself with fans. Given how popular quarterback jerseys are, it’s likely going to take Patrick Mahomes reaching stardom before either state swings in the right direction.
