Chiefs Twitter Bragged About Small Parade Crowd and Rival Teams Let Them Have it in the Comments
By Scott Rogust
For the first time in 50 years, the Kansas City Chiefs can call themselves Super Bowl champions. With Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid earning their first-ever Lombardi Trophy, many expected a huge turnout in Kansas City for the championship parade.
With an hour to go before the rally's start, that wasn't the case.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Chiefs official Twitter account sent out a photo of the "sea of red" at Town Hall. And that body of water resembled more of a puddle.
We sure this parade isn't being held in Kansas?
Look, we're going to cut the Chiefs' social media team some slack. They did say the crowd will grow. Maybe it had to do with the wild police chase in the middle of the parade route.
As we all know, social media is a very toxic place, where nobody is given the benefit of the doubt. That allowed fans of opposing squads to have field days, replying with photos of their respective teams' championship parade turnouts.
No one can deny that the Philadelphia Eagles' celebration was wild.
The Broncos have entered the "AFC West Trash Talk" group chat.
Boston fans will never grow tired of parades.
Even Toronto Raptors fans kicked down the Chiefs.
The turnout for the Cubs World Series celebration will never be topped. Ever.
The crowd will certainly grow once time passes. But it wasn't the best idea for the Chiefs social media team to post a photo of the small turnout.
