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.

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.

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
