Print•In the three NFL seasons before the Nelson-Atkins commissioned the Shuttlecocks, the Chiefs won three playoff games.
•In the 10 baseball seasons before the Shuttlecocks, the Royals had seven winning seasons and a world championship.
•In the 29 combined seasons since, the Chiefs have won zero playoff games and the Royals have just one winning record.
“Wow, I didn’t know that,” says Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe. “I mean, wow. For real?”
You nod yes. He pauses, looks in the distance, and now back in your eyes.
“They need to take ’em down then, man.”
Pretty damn funny.

I posted this in the morning update before I saw your thread. Sorry.
The SHUTTLECOCKS!
Jeebus, I have always hated those atrocious displays in front of the Nelson. Even when I was a kid, I hated them.
I love to go to the Nelson every time I am back in KC, but hate having to apologize to everyone I bring with me about the shuttlecocks. I have to apologize for the Nelson before they even get inside.
Don't aplogize for them anymore.
Problem solved.
