A diss? Proper geography? Falcons had a strange message about KC on stadium boards

If you’ve lived in Kansas City for any length of time, you’ve heard the dumb “The Wizard of Oz” joke. Doesn’t matter which side of the state line you live, either.

Sports teams love to make the stale “We’re not in Kansas anymore” comment, even though there are professional sports teams in Kansas (Sporting KC) and Missouri (Royals, Chiefs).

When that comment is directed to the Chiefs and Royals, it irks Missourians who point out that the teams have their homes in their state. I’m not sure why this remains such a difficult concept for people around the country to grasp, but there is a Kansas City in both states.
