I bet a lot of kids remember going to his mansion to trick or treat and getting a K.C. ChiefsT-shirt !
Oops got my millionaires confused It was Ewing Kauffman Mansion for the tshirts …

Have you watched any matches on CBS Sports/Paramount Plus/CBS Golazo?

Only know of Lamar for his involvement in pro football and trading of silver. There are any number of sports on TV that people can choose to watch. I think moving various sports (not just soccer) to various pay/subscription channels is counter-productive to increasing/retaining your fan base. The Indy 500 time trials are now only shown on some pay channel, so I stopped watching. Last week's early coverage of the Masters golf was also on certain pay channels. There was still a free website run by the Masters tournament where I could watch all 18 holes. However, wouldn't surprise me to find they also try to make $$$ off of their website in the future by charging to watch. When watching various sports on TV becomes a money-grab, I think many people lose interest/move on and find other things to do.

I don't follow soccer and have no interest, so I wasn't aware of Lamar's involvement, but wouldn't make a difference in not wanting to watch.

You might still like the video above. It's more about a piece of American sports history anyway.

The Stadium in Kansas City co-owned by Brittany Mahomes specifically built for female athletes . Who will you cheer for?

I'm an NYCFC fan. Gotham FC is the women's team here. I will follow them occasionally to be honest.

Is anyone else watching this amazing match between FC Naples and Tampa Bay Rowdies in the Derby of the Gulf US Open Cup match on the CBS Golazo Network? It's free on the CBS Sports Network app everyone.

I've been to two Lamar Hunt Cup finals where Sporting KC won - one at Subuaru Park in Chester, PA and one at CMP.
