Kansas city chiefs owner and national anthem

Travis kelce fined $10 million for kneeling during national anthem

Kansas City was abuzz on Sept. A story in The Star that day noted Catholic schools had allowed students to wear red, employees at one law firm did the wave — in their office — and tickets were in high demand. Adding to the excitement was the presence of the rock band Huey Lewis and the News, which was performing the national anthem that night.

Lewis, who had three No. It was one of the few times that the Chiefs have not had the artist record the anthem before the game. Chiefs fans continue it to this day. That includes Allen Fieldhouse when the KU basketball team plays. I asked Lewis what the inspiration was for the change. Lewis recalled how he tried helping Montana deal with the butterflies ahead of his first game in Kansas City.

Joe Sr. We had, like the Chiefs today, a wonderful road crowd that Lewis is pleasantly surprised to learn that his impromptu decision with the anthem has become a touchstone of the Kansas City sports scene.
