sfgiantsflgators Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Founder of the AFL, gave the Super Bowl it's name, NFL Hall of Famer, along with many other contributions to the being that is professional football... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2695313 I really don't like the Chiefs, but my thoughts go out to his family in this dreadful time. He's a good man and has been good to the community here in Kansas City. It doesn't look good, but hopefully he can go peacefully if it's indeed his time.

Yankee4Life Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'll second that, and this is from a life long Raider fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutushayesosu Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 He also owns the Columbus Crew (MLS) and is responsible for building a soccer only stadium here in Columbus. Im not a big soccer fan but there are a ton of others who are. His contribution to that sport should be mentioned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot all about his ties with soccer - he owned the Wizards until around August when he sold them to (if I remember correctly) a couple big wigs with the Cerner Corporation (a company here in KC). EDIT: here's a good summary of everything he's done and contributed - a lot of stuff I wasn't aware of...like that he created Worlds and Oceans of Fun here in KC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamar_Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
