Dominate the Super Bowl-Chapter 710 - : 709 sudden gale and downpour
Chapter 710: 709 sudden gale and downpour
The storm brewed, slowly and steadily.
The most absurd and laughable thing was that the Foster incident and the Hunter incident happened less than a month apart, successively capturing the public’s attention.
One moment, the media and netizens were strongly condemning the Washington Redskins for their unseemly desperation in the face of hunger, a feeling of suffocation lodged in their chests, unable to be vented.
Right on its heels, TMZ released a bombshell, implying through their story that the Kansas City Chiefs and the League were inactive in the Hunter case, instantly igniting outrage.
There was a bustle and uproar everywhere.
TMZ’s report spread through social networks like wildfire, sweeping across the platforms with overwhelming momentum, the situation spiraling out of control.
...
A gloom settled over Kansas City in layers, the people filled with trepidation.
This city, long silent, had stayed out of the public eye for nearly half a century. The blue-collar workers living here were forgotten, overlooked, and ignored; no one noticed these hardworking, down-to-earth people breathing in an invisible corner.
Yet, overnight, they were thrust into the spotlight.
From Li Wei and Mahomes to Super Bowl Champions and then to the off-season turmoil, this time they were swept into the storm in a less commendable way, exposing the residents of Kansas City to the other side of fame and fortune.
Cruel, dark, bloody, cold.
No one cared about the people of Kansas City; because of a single Hunter, the city was easily equated with brutal thugs.
The attacks came like an avalanche.
Even before they could react, Kansas City was already submerged in a deluge of insults and curses, wave after wave.
It was suffocating.
That pressure, invisible yet tangibly present, permeated the city, filling different offices and streets on Wednesday morning with an apocalyptic mood, even the joy of victory has dissipated completely.
Kansas City was like an isolated island.
Dazed. Confused. Angry. Annoyed.
Anxious. Frustrated. Helpless. Disappointed.
A tangle of complex emotions raged in their chests, finding no outlet; as they looked at the sharp, nasty, sordid, twisted comments on social media platforms on their phones, their anger boiled over, yet they did not know whom to call out to or counter, ending up brewing their own resentment.
On the verge of explosion.
No one was an exception. No one.
Amidst the turmoil of emotions, the entire city turned to their football team—
“Please, Veach, please, give the team an explanation.”
This was their last hope.
Fortunately, this disaster-prone city did not have to wait too long this time.
At the first opportunity, the owners of the Kansas City Chiefs, Clark Hunt, and the president Mark Donovan, held a press conference, offering the highest level of treatment to demonstrate their commitment to the issue.
At the press conference, Donovan said:
After the incident, the team did receive a notification, and they personally questioned Hunter; Hunter completely denied the lady’s allegations and argued that it was the lady who fabricated the confrontation, deliberately bumping and pushing him, and that he was the victim.
Without further evidence, the team decided to trust the Cleveland police, to patiently wait for the police investigation, and to address the situation through legal proceedings.
However, Hunter lied.
The team was furious about Hunter’s lies and betrayal, and they took this opportunity to reiterate the team’s zero-tolerance policy towards any form of violence by players.
Therefore, the Kansas City Chiefs decided to immediately dismiss Hunter, effective immediately.
The stance was clear and unequivocal.
The Kansas City Chiefs responded with the swiftness and highest regard, assuming a dominating stance before matters escalated further, making their position clear.
Whew.
The citizens of Kansas City let out a long sigh of relief—
Finally, the team hadn’t let them down.
In the quiet of the Old Oak Tavern, a voice spoke up.
“Ah, it’s just a pity for the young man.”
Provo shot a look over, “Joel, what the hell are you talking about?”
But the voice didn’t care and clashed back strongly, “Am I wrong? Without Hunter’s support, we can only rely on Li Wei alone. God, Li Wei has already endured enough, we really can’t ask for more, don’t you want to defend our title? Don’t you want us to keep winning?”
Provo, “But we can’t sell our souls for victory. He shouldn’t have raised his fist to a woman, only cowards bully those weaker than themselves, our team doesn’t need such cowards!”
As the argument continued, Anderson from behind the bar intervened, “Stop! What’s decided is decided, the last thing we need now is internal strife, we need to look forward.”
The stubborn voice insisted, “I’m just stating a fact…”
Anderson cut him off directly, “Joel, shut up! Didn’t you hear what I said? If you want to keep nagging, maybe you need to step outside for some air to cool off, then come back once you’ve calmed down.”
“We look forward! We support the team! That’s all there is to it.”
“The more critical the moment, the more the team needs us to unite!”
Chaos, unrest, unease.
Despite the Kansas City Chiefs making a swift and decisive end to the turmoil, the facts had already occurred, casting a shadow over the prospects for the Chiefs’ season.

It was worse than an injury, more heart-wrenching—
Because it could have been avoided.
Subsequently, the NFL also held a press conference, but Goodell didn’t say anything new.
Goodell simply stated that the League would initiate an investigation procedure.
Unlike formal legal proceedings, the League has its own investigative committee for these violent incidents, and they would also conduct their investigations before making a determination based on the findings.
It might be a suspension, a fine, or it might prove the player’s innocence.
However, during the investigation, the investigated player must enter the “exempt/commissioner’s permission list,” prohibiting him from playing games until the League’s investigation concludes.
In other words, before the results of the investigation are released, the League will not issue any opinions or disclose any positions, and everything will proceed according to the process.
Like a violent storm, thunderous and powerful.
In less than thirty minutes, both the Kansas City Chiefs and the League made their positions known, firming their foothold amidst chaos and controversy, temporarily stabilizing public opinion.
However, the noise on social networks still had not subsided.
Aside from discussions revolving around the event, a comprehensive exploration into the essence began in full swing.
Discussions on player behavior, professional ethics, and social responsibility bubbled up; the consensus was that these players, in the spotlight, earning millions in salary, becoming idols for countless youths, must assume the role of role models and accept stricter constraints.
At the same time, there were calls for the NFL and other sports leagues to strengthen regulations on player behavior and emphasize the importance of education and prevention. Preventative measures are key to avoiding tragedies, rather than simply cleaning up after them.
Reflection and discussion unfolded comprehensively, showing no signs of stopping in the short term. This was just a spark, stirring up the dregs settled in society, potentially evolving into a social topic.
But amid all this noise, one person seemed to be forgotten—
Hunter himself.
