The Chiefs are one of a handful of NFL teams that is opening its gates to fans for games, at least in the early part of the season. The team also is making moves regarding its Native American imagery and the organization is getting behind a get-out-the-vote initiative.
All that while holding the Super Bowl favorite’s role.
Team president Mark Donovan spoke to reporters about the off-field issues and you’ll hear the entire interview on SportsBeat KC, the Kansas City Star’s daily sports podcast hosted by Blair Kerkhoff. Donovan dropped some news about a potential polling place at Arrowhead Stadium.
Also, you’ll hear what Andy Reid had to say about the recent shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisc., which has reignited protests and prompted cancellations in the NBA, MLB, MLS, WNBA, and some NFL practices.
