Kansas City Royals getting support from Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City Royals fans are watching their team cruising to an ALCS berth, and the Kansas City Chiefs want you to know they’re on board with this run.

By now, you’re likely aware that the Kansas City Royals are back in the MLB playoffs for the first time in almost 30 years. The Royals last made the playoffs in 1985, when they won the World Series. Now, the Royals have advanced past the American League Wild Card game, and have the Los Angeles Angels, the team with the best record in MLB, on the brink of elimination as the series heads back to Kansas City for Game Three.

The Royals have long been an afterthought in KC, mostly because there hasn’t been a whole lot for Royals fans to cheer about during the drought, but now that Kansas City is back in the MLB postseason, the entire city seems to be backing their plucky baseball team, including the city’s NFL team, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs posted a two-minute long video featuring a few of their players discussing their excitement over the Royals’s season, and what they feel the Royals’s playoff run has done for Kansas City:

It’s a pretty nice video gesture by the Chiefs, especially since they had a game of their own on Monday night (a victory against the New England Patriots) and it doesn’t appear to simply be lip-service to the current most successful team in town; other posts on both the Chiefs’ Facebook page and Twitter account feature numerous posts congratulating and chronicling the Royals’s playoff run, many with the hashtag of #TakeTheCrown:

Regardless of the final outcome for the Royals, it’s really cool to see the local NFL team support the all Kansas City teams in October. Good job, Chiefs.
