You’d be hard-pressed to find a more hyper-masculine culture than the NFL.
It’s a place where aggression is encouraged. Players often find it hard to be vulnerable — or to express healthy love for one another — without thinking it could make them look weak.
That’s what makes the Kansas City Chiefs — and the culture the team’s coaching staff has built — so unique. While these individuals are at the top of their individual crafts, they also have normalized healthy friendship and affection. Flash to any sideline during a game. You’re sure to see guys hugging and embracing each other.
