Now that terror and tragedy have struck the greatest community benefit of having an NFL team — the championship parade — it’s time for the league to use its considerable influence to fight against the proliferation of guns in America.
Kansas City’s celebration of the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl victory in five years came to an abrupt end on Wednesday when gunfire broke out, killing one person and wounding 21 others. Now the NFL and its fans have to ask whether maintaining the status quo is worth the risk, whether the frivolity of parades and their awkward owner dances or tossing the Lombardi trophy from boat to boat can continue in a country that has witnessed more mass shootings than days so far in 2024.
