How a Hunt family photo in Russia with a KC Chiefs flag led to religious, speech fight

A new flank has opened in the “war on Christmas” with a controversy that involves the U.S. Postal Service, Russia and the family who owns the Kansas City Chiefs.

It started when Clark Hunt, chairman and CEO of the Chiefs as well as a founding investor in Major League Soccer, and his family went to the World Cup in Russia.

While visiting Moscow’s Red Square this summer, they took a family portrait in front of the iconic St. Basil’s cathedral while holding a banner that read “Chiefs Kingdom.”

Hunt’s wife, Tavia Hunt, thought the photo would make a great customized stamp for the family’s Christmas cards.
