not to take their posts seriously. Are there any other credible reports out there about this?

I'd like to see it happen, but I'm doubtful it's true.

"Kansas City Chiefs memes for fans in #ChiefsKingdom. Satire and sarcasm are common here, don’t take it seriously!"

Same goes for this "Chiefs Kingdom Memes-CKM" twit.

Until ESPN confirms it, it's probably fake.

I will wait and hope and pray it is true. Not a Chiefs fan but a Mahomes fan. This would give me 2 reasons to keep watching them. What they did to him made me cry and so angry. I would so love this.

I wish it were true, but it's not.

And if he ever does get a shot, it's not going to come from a team in Missouri.

Sadly there is no alert category for posting fake news as if it's true.

On the other hand, complaining about DU in public is banned, so I suspect this post will get me warned or maybe even tombstoned. sigh.

Please delete.

In the future, it might be a good idea to confirm with another source, especially when "Memes" is in the name of the "source".
