Who Runs the Show in Kansas City? A Hilarious History of the Chiefs' Ownership
So, you're a die-hard Chiefs fan, bleed red and gold, and practically have Patrick Mahomes's spiral tattooed on your forehead (don't worry, we've all considered it). But have you ever stopped to wonder, who exactly calls the shots for your beloved team? Buckle up, because we're about to take a trip through the wacky world of Chiefs' ownership, and let me tell you, it's a wild ride.
From Oil Baron to Lamar the Legend: The Hunt Dynasty Begins
The story starts with Lamar Hunt, a Texas oil tycoon with more money than sense and a serious case of football fever. In 1959, Lamar decided he wanted his own team, and thus, the Dallas Texans (gasp, I know!) were born. Thankfully, Lamar quickly realized Texas already had enough cowboys, and the team moseyed on over to Kansas City in 1963, becoming the Kansas City Chiefs. Lamar, bless his eccentric heart, even designed the team's iconic arrowhead logo on a bar napkin. Now that's a power move.
Chiefs Kingdom Grows: Enter the Hunt Heirs
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
Lamar, like all good things, must come to an end. But fear not, Chiefs fans! Lamar had a whole gaggle of heirs ready to take the reins. In 2006, ownership of the Chiefs passed to Lamar's wife, Norma, and their children, including the current chairman and CEO, Clark Hunt. Clark, a man with a business mind as sharp as Mahomes's arm, has been steering the ship ever since.
So, Who Exactly Owns the Chiefs Now?
It's a Family Affair!
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
The Chiefs are currently owned by the Hunt family, a true football dynasty. Clark Hunt is the main man in charge, but the whole family has a stake in the game (pun intended). Imagine all those Thanksgiving dinners - must be a real competition over who gets bragging rights!
Fun Fact: Clark Hunt is also a founding owner of Major League Soccer. Seems the Hunt family has a thing for kicking a ball around!
