Chiefs Cheerleader Calendar Trip Recap from The Mothership
"It's probably 18-20 hour work days, from scouting and exploring the island for the perfect shot, to then executing the photo shoot, it takes a lot of work," Stephanie Judah, CC Director explained. "We work together as a team to get it all done and feel such a sense of accomplishment and pride once we get the perfect shots."

Thoughts On How Chiefs Spend Money from ESPN
What the Chiefs are giving to Jamaal Charles is borderline criminal. Charles' salary-cap number of $5,233,333 is 10th among NFL running backs.

The Cleveland Indians' Controversial Mascot Is Hurting Their Bottom Line from Quartz.com
Examining the financial performance over the past dozen years for four teams-the Kansas City Chiefs and the Washington Redskins in the NFL, and the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Indians in Major League Baseball-revealed the eye-opening result that having a Native American mascot appears to cost professional sports teams millions of dollars in annual revenue-at least $1.6 million per year in the NFL, and $2.6 million per year for MLB's Braves and Indians.
