Trey Songz sues Kansas City police after arrest

Trey Songz is taking the Kansas City Police Department to court, claiming he was physically assaulted and wrongfully arrested at the 2021 AFC Championship Game. He says things escalated after being heckled in the stands, leading to police using what he calls excessive force. Though all charges were dropped, Trey says the incident left him with injuries, emotional distress, and hurt his career. The police haven’t responded yet, but this lawsuit is raising big questions about how celebrities—and anyone—are treated in high-profile situations. What do you think: is this about celebrity, or is it a bigger issue? #Sports #KansasCity #TreySongz

Kansas City shops flooded with unsold Chiefs gear

Kansas City small businesses are facing a mountain of unsold Chiefs playoff merchandise after the team’s early postseason exit. For years, these shops counted on a playoff run to boost sales during the slow winter months. Now, owners like LeAnn Cruce at Love Letters in Liberty are getting creative to move thousands of custom items they ordered months ago. It’s a tough break, but many are staying positive and grateful for the Chiefs’ impact on the community. Would you scoop up discounted playoff gear, or does it lose its magic after an early exit? #Business #KansasCity #Chiefs

Kansas City’s own Tavion Banks gives back

Tavion Banks, a standout for Iowa Men’s Basketball, just made the holidays brighter for kids in Kansas City by donating cleats using his NIL earnings. Growing up in KC with a single mom, Banks knows firsthand how much a little help can mean. While he’s been a force on the court this season, averaging 9.3 points and 4.7 rebounds, it’s his off-court generosity that’s turning heads. Acts like this remind us how athletes can impact their hometowns beyond the game. How do you feel about college players using their NIL money to give back? #Safety #KansasCity #IowaBasketball

Tearing down Arrowhead could cost up to $150M after Chiefs announce move to Kansas

The Chiefs have announced they’re leaving Arrowhead (Missouri) for a new $3B domed stadium in Kansas targeted for the 2031 season, with Kansas lawmakers approving bonds to cover a major share of the public financing. Now Missouri’s staring at a brutal twist: Arrowhead could become Missouri’s problem even after the team leaves. Missouri House Speaker Jon Patterson says demolition could run up to $150 million—meaning the state/county could end up paying a massive bill just to clean up the stadium left behind. This is the part that always gets overlooked in “team moves for a new stadium” stories: one side doesn’t just lose the team—sometimes they’re left holding the receipt too. Should teams be required to pay demolition/exit costs when they leave publicly funded stadiums? #NFL #Chiefs #Arrowhead #StadiumDeals #KansasCity #Missouri #Kansas #SportsBusiness #PublicFunding

Chiefs’ move shakes up Kansas City sports

The Chiefs are officially heading to Kansas for a new domed stadium, leaving many in Kansas City wondering what’s next for the Royals. With the Chiefs’ departure, the pressure is on Missouri lawmakers and city leaders to keep the Royals from following suit. The Royals’ search for a new ballpark has been rocky, especially after their joint stadium funding plan failed in April. Now, there’s talk of possible sites in both Missouri and Kansas. Do you think the Royals should stay downtown, or could a move across state lines be better for the team and fans? #Sports #KansasCity #Chiefs
