Chiefs owner Clark Hunt blasted by fans for ‘robot’ speech

Football fans poked fun at the robotic way Chiefs owner Clark Hunt gave his victory speech on Sunday after Kansas City defeated the Bills in the AFC Championship Game.

Addressing the fans inside Arrowhead Stadium as well as the national television audience, Hunt expressed his excitement over the 32-29 victory.

“Chiefs Kingdom, we’re going to New Orleans to make history,” Hunt said at one point from the stage where the victory celebration was taking place.

But to some, the speech came off a bit “robotic,” as one person described it.

“Clark Hunt is artificial intelligence bro,” someone wrote on X.

“Clark Hunt completely memorized that speech,” wrote another person.

“Two questions 1 – Is Clark Hunt a small, small man? 2 – How many times did he practice that speech in the mirror?” a third person joked online.

“Clark Hunt is a robot,” said another.

Hunt is likely used to being on stage after the Chiefs have become a perennial powerhouse in the NFL, with the team looking for its historic third consecutive Super Bowl title when they face the Eagles in two weeks.

“Each one of these are so special,” Hunt said. “What a game today. Travis (Kelce), Patrick (Mahomes) and their teammates always find a way to get it done. That’s been true all year. And it’s a credit to Coach (Andy) Reid and his great staff . Now we get to do something that has never been done before, Chiefs Kingdom.”

The Chiefs have already made history without the chance for the team to complete the three-peat.

Kansas City became the first team in NFL history to play in five Super Bowls in a span of six years and became the first back-to-back champion to return to the Super Bowl.

A victory on Feb. 9 against the Eagles would make the Chiefs the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles in NFL history, and it would make them the only other team — other than the 1974-79 Steelers — to win four Super Bowls in six years.
