(REPORT) Kansas City Chiefs Rivals Drops Powerful Message of Support After Tragic Super Bowl Parade Shooting
The Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens may be the Kansas City Chiefs’ rivals on the field, with the latter even denied by Patrick Mahomes and Co. a shot at the Super Bowl. On Wednesday, however, they were united in showing their support for the team and the community amid the tragedy that occurred.
After the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Valentine’s day, a mass shooting occurred, taking the lives of one person while injuring over 20 others–some in critical and serious conditions.

In the wake of the tragedy, the Chiefs have garnered plenty of support from the NFL, players, fans and even rival teams. Among those who expressed their sympathy and love for the franchise are the Chargers and Ravens.
The Chargers, in particular, delivered a classy and powerful message in a show of solidarity with the Chiefs and the mourning Kansas City community.
“Rivals on game day, off the field we’re in this together — the AFC West, the National Football League, the United States of America. Today a senseless act of violence has forever altered the lives of so many. And for what?” the Chargers wrote.
“While words can ring hollow in moments such as these, they can also bring comfort. Today we stand with Chiefs Kingdom, and our hearts go out to the victims, their friends, family, and every member of the greater Kansas City community affected by this tragedy.”
It is indeed a heartbreaking day for the Chiefs and the whole sports world. Wednesday was supposed to be a day celebrating love and victory. Instead, an innocent life was taken and many more are in danger.
Three armed individuals have been reportedly taken into custody. But despite that, the life lost cannot be brought back and the pain of many cannot be easily healed.

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.
