INTRODUCED BY Manuel Abarca IV, DaRon McGee, and Venessa Huskey, County Legislators
Body
WHEREAS, the Legislature recognizes the impressive performance of the Kansas City Chiefs in winning the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship and securing a spot in Super Bowl LVII; and,
WHEREAS, the Chiefs' victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship was a thrilling and historic moment for the team and its fans; and,
WHEREAS, the bromance between Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes II has captured the hearts of Kansas City fans and added to the excitement of the Chiefs' journey to the Super Bowl; and,
WHEREAS, Kansas City fans collected five Buy One, Get One Free #BigMacSacks last Monday thanks to Joe Burrow’s gracious takedowns; and,
WHEREAS, we understand that the Bengals may have suffered critical injuries to their pride but have reason to believe that there is space available at the Big Cat Rescue for recovery; and,
WHEREAS, the Legislature wishes to show its support for the Chiefs as they face the Philadelphia Eagles in the big game; and,
WHEREAS, the Boston Globe has documented evidence indicating that “teams in white jerseys have won fifteen of the eighteen Super Bowls” and the Eagles plan to wear green; and,
WHEREAS, while fans would never presume a certain victory in any match, we do believe that, with the tunes of local jazz master Bobby Watson in the ears of our team and warm and hearty Gates BBQ in their bellies, our Chiefs will be prepared for the competition; and
WHEREAS, we may never agree which Kelce brother is the better athlete, but we can all agree that Donna Kelce is the true champion and should lead the coin toss in Sunday’s match; and
WHEREAS, although Punxsutawney Phil predicted another six weeks of winter, it is truly ALWAYS SUNNY in Arrowhead, and we plan to take that energy and vibe to Arizona; and,
WHEREAS, the Eagles may have garnered support from two greats who have become the newest Odd Couple, Joel Embiid and Kevin Hart, the Chiefs have true LEGENDS supporting our team like The Fonz, Marvel superhero Ant-Man, Paul Rudd, and Coach Ted Lasso, Jason Sudeikis; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the Legislature wishes the Kansas City Chiefs all the best on their quest for a Super Bowl victory and proudly supports them as they represent our city and county on the biggest stage in football.
