Fans React To Horrifying Kansas City Tribute to Chiefs


Kansas City is proud of the Chiefs as they head into the AFC Championships against the Buffalo Bills and they decided to show it in a way that many people are finding…horrifying.

As X user @Bessex_Joshua noted, “The #ChiefsKingdom red fountains in downtown KC are a little… um…”

To honor the Chiefs’ remarkable season, fountains around Kansas City were dyed red—a gesture that quickly sparked some surprising reactions on social media.

As the crimson water flowed, many fans couldn’t help but notice how the scene resembled something far more unsettling than a celebratory display. Some even compared the water to human sacrifice, which created a bit of an eerie vibe.

“Kansas City Chiefs display the blood of all those they sacrificed for a win tomorrow against Buffalo” @_yoKinetic joked, probably.

Though it’s become a familiar tradition to dye fountains in Kansas City in celebration of sports triumphs, this particular red-water spectacle seemed more suited for a spooky Halloween backdrop than an encouraging celebration before the Chiefs’ AFC Championship faceoff against the Bills at Arrowhead.

The red fountain tradition, however, is nothing new.

Just last September, as Chiefs Kingdom geared up for the home opener, the iconic fountain in Mill Creek Park was once again transformed into a bold symbol of team pride.

Kansas City Parks and Rec staff used eight tubs of red dye to turn the historic fountain into a vivid sea of crimson, becoming a rallying point for fans.

“It’s a great way to kick off the season,” Ryana Parks-Shaw, Kansas City’s Fifth District councilmember said at the time. “As the city of fountains, we take pride in all our fountains. Seeing it turn red is such an exciting experience for everyone. It really brings out the true team spirit.”

While that is one take, @Keegan59992745 thought a bit more biblically, posting, “The blood of their countless sacrifices has replaced the water throughout the city. The first of 3 plagues has begun. Josh Allen is the only hope to free Kansas City of the antichrists grip”

@EstebanRemlap gave some clarity to the near-constant accusations that NFL officials go easy on the Chiefs, saying, “Everyone says it’s the refs, but the real secret to Kansas City Chiefs success is our Red Friday Blood Sacrifices.”

@LocalLegendCoop pointed out that KC is indeed known as “the city of fountains” without specifying if those water features were filled with blood, posting, “The blood of our enemies supplies the fountains. Kansas City is the City of Fountains for a reason.”

Regardless of what happens in the AFC Championship game tomorrow, it appears that KC is already ready to paint the town red in celebration.
