Good morning, Chiefs fans. A light day for Kansas City Chiefs news, but we do get to start it out with one of KC's most loved former players. Enjoy.
Coming from my humble beginnings in Nigeria and a late starter to the game of football, I was amazed by the doors of opportunity that opened because I was an NFL player. It’s a tremendous responsibility and a great privilege to say that you represented the Kansas City Chiefs.
That’s why I’m very concerned about the owners’ efforts to keep their lockout in place. As a fan of the game, I want a football season in 2011 just like everyone else.
League history has shown that the owners don’t have to shut down football. From 1989 to 1993 — when I was an NFL player — the players association held the same status that it has today, and football was played while a court determined whether players should be allowed to become free agents.
