Hey sports fans! 🏈 Hold onto your helmets because Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson has a game-changing idea! He's eyeing the reigning Super Bowl champs, the Kansas City Chiefs, and he believes there's a \"serious opportunity\" to bring them back to Dallas! 😮
In a bold move, Mayor Johnson took to X (formerly Twitter) earlier this week, posting, \"Welcome home Dallas Texans.\" For those who might not know, the Chiefs were originally the Dallas Texans when they played in the American Football League back in 1960. Talk about a throwback! 🎬
Lamar Hunt, the legendary owner, moved the team to Kansas City in 1963, rebranding them as the Chiefs. Now, decades later, Mayor Johnson wants to reverse history. He hinted at some behind-the-scenes talks, mentioning he spoke with Clark Hunt, Lamar Hunt's son and the current owner of the Chiefs. 🤫
\"I'm not really at liberty to say other than I have a good open line of communication with Clark Hunt,\" Johnson told The Athletic. \"And that line of communication remains.\"
Could we be witnessing the start of an incredible homecoming? Dallas might just become the new home of the Super Bowl champions! 🏆 Stay tuned, folks—this could get interesting! 🔥
