The Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens may be the Kansas City Chiefs’ on-field adversaries, with the latter even denying Patrick Mahomes and Co. a Super Bowl berth. However, on Wednesday, they came together to show their support for the squad and the town in the aftermath of the tragedy.
A mass shooting happened following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Valentine’s Day, killing one person and injuring over 20 others, some of whom are in critical or serious condition.
Los Angeles Chargers’ Powerful Message for Kansas City Chiefs
Following the tragedy, the Chiefs have received overwhelming support from the NFL, players, fans, and even opposing teams. The Chargers and Ravens have conveyed their compassion and admiration for the franchise.
The Chargers, in particular, sent out a polite and emotional statement of support for the Chiefs and the mourning Kansas City community.
“Rivals on game day, off the field, we’re all in this together: the AFC West, the National Football League, and the United States of America. Today, a senseless act of violence has permanently changed the lives of so many people. And for what? the Chargers asked.
“While words can sound hollow in times like this, they can also provide comfort. Today, we stand with Chiefs Kingdom, and our hearts go out to the victims, their friends and family, and everyone in the wider Kansas City community who has been affected by this tragedy.”
It is indeed a devastating day for the Chiefs and the entire sports world. Wednesday was supposed to be a day to celebrate love and success. Instead, one innocent life was lost, and many more are in peril.
Three armed individuals have reportedly been apprehended. Nonetheless, the life lost cannot be restored, and many people’s anguish is difficult to repair.
Baltimore Ravens Support Kansas City Chiefs.
As mentioned, the Baltimore Ravens were also among the teams to release a statement in support of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs eliminated the Ravens in the AFC Championship en route to their Super Bowl 58 victory, but none of that mattered for Baltimore with people’s lives and safety being put in danger.
“Our hearts are with Chiefs Kingdom following the tragic events and shocking violence that occurred during today’s parade in Kansas City. On a day meant for uniting people in joy and celebrating love, we send our full support to every citizen of the region and each member of the Chiefs organization who has been affected by this senseless tragedy,” the Ravens said in their statement.
More details about the attack should come out soon. For now, as all of Kansas City mourns, hopes are high that action will be taken in order to prevent such tragedy from happening again.
