Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 1522 One is a lot

Frenzy, revelry, waiting and waiting, hoping and hoping again, the annual event of Kansas City has finally arrived, and the whole city is boiling.

In fact, the Kansas City Chiefs' record of winning the championship parade last year did not last long. Just a few months later, in June, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals and won the first championship trophy in the team's history, which completely ignited the craze in Toronto.

On the day of the championship parade, Toronto surpassed Kansas City and made history, with more than two million people pouring into the city blocks to join in the carnival.

However, just seven months later, no one expected that the Kansas City Chiefs would actually break free from their shackles and achieve a miracle by winning three consecutive championships. The sensation was far greater than the Toronto Raptors' breakthrough, which detonated the entire North American continent and gave people the illusion that the continent's servers were down.

Crazy, it's not just Kansas City, it's not just Missouri, the huge heat wave is surging in from every corner of the world.

then.

Kansas City once again broke the historical record and surpassed Toronto, without a doubt and without suspense.

According to reports from ESPN, Fox, NBC and other TV stations, two and a half million people flocked to Kansas City to join the championship parade.

The specific numbers are slightly different. ESPN believes it is 2.3 million, while Fox TV insists it is 2.7 million. Despite this, the appeal of the Kansas City Chiefs can still be deeply felt.

On the one hand, everyone is saying that the Kansas City Chief is now the public enemy, no one likes the Kansas City Chief, and the insults on social networks are getting louder and louder.

On the other hand, the Kansas City Chiefs' championship parade is becoming a grand event across the entire North American continent, and is no less impressive than the Brazilian Carnival.

The Internet and reality are separated and contradictory. So what should people believe? What is real?
However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

NBC has won the live broadcast rights for the Kansas City Chiefs' championship parade, which will be broadcast live from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., providing a platform for viewers across North America who are unable to travel to Kansas City in person to participate in the carnival and join the party.

A magical scene appeared. The round-the-clock live broadcast program comparable to a documentary actually created a new high in ratings.

The average viewership was 22 million, and the highest viewership exceeded 36 million.

In other words, not only in Kansas City, but across North America, there were so many people waiting in front of their TVs to watch this carnival.

Reality once again presents a completely different picture from social networks.

Sure enough, although the mouth said no, the body was honest.

However, what is truly amazing and shocking is not the number. Whether it is 2.5 million or 36 million, it is ultimately just a set of numbers in news reports. Whether it breaks the historical record or not is not that important. In the final analysis, it just shows people's enthusiasm and madness. A hundred thousand more or a hundred thousand less does not seem to matter.

These sets of numbers fully demonstrate the importance of the Kansas City Chiefs' three consecutive championships in the entire North American continent.

That's all.

The reality is not so.

Not to mention the number of one hundred thousand, even a thousand more or a thousand less are real and living people. Each specific person appeared on the scene and experienced an unforgettable carnival. Their practical actions gathered together to form this wild heat wave, dispelling the cold and summoning summer in Kansas City.

Everyone, literally everyone, has their own experiences and their own stories.

As David Anderson said, no matter when or where, they always stand with the team and fight side by side until the end of the game.

Today, the weight and value of this sentence are fully revealed——

Generally speaking, the focus of the championship parade is the whole people's carnival. The team will set a route through the main streets of the city to Arrowhead Stadium. The team bus carries the team and the carnival team along the route, and the crowds on both sides of the road finally gather at Arrowhead Stadium, where the championship celebration party is held, mobilizing the entire city in this way to ensure that everyone can join in the carnival.

Residents who experienced last year's championship parade know that they must rush to both sides of the street to occupy a position as soon as possible, otherwise they may miss the focus. Some people even went there fully equipped as early as six in the morning to occupy a position.

However, this victory parade was slightly different.

Outside the area and angle covered by NBC's live cameras, before the surging crowds arrived at the main streets one after another and dyed the city red, the city's residents formed an orderly long winding dragon and left the city.

First stop, suburban Kansas City.

Wait, suburbia?
But why?

In the crowd, fans soon noticed the tall and strong figure——

Levi.

Even though Levi was dressed in casual clothes and kept a low profile, he still easily caught people's attention and stood out from the crowd. But the magical thing was that the residents of Kansas City did not chase Levi, nor did they ask for photos, autographs, or hugs. Even shouting and screaming were rare. There was a solemn and dignified atmosphere in the air, and the direction they were heading was clearly the cemetery.

Felix Gray is buried here.

Levi never forgot Felix. It was not until the end of the season that he came to the cemetery in person to fulfill his promise to Felix.

Not only him, but Kansas City also remembered it firmly.

Carter was also in the crowd, following the silent and solemn team slowly forward, watching Levi's sad and sorrowful back as he left, a mixture of bitterness and excitement surging in his chest.

There was an exclamation from the side, "...Levi, that's Levi!"

As soon as you hear it, you know that it is definitely not a Kansas City resident. When social networks were flooded with people attacking Levi, Kansas City residents never doubted Levi because they remembered their promises as firmly as Levi did.

Carter turned to look at the source of the voice, "Yes, that's our No. 23. Even if the whole world forgets Felix, he will never forget."

"Some people say that this year's Super Bowl championship was given by Levi to commemorate Felix. Is this true?"

Carter let out a long breath, "Yes, that was the agreement between Levi and Felix."

heh.

There was a commotion all around, with murmurs of surprise and excitement continuing to surge.

So, on the morning of the championship parade, Levi came to tell Felix personally, and the whole of Kansas City did the same, without exception.

Carter followed the team and finally came to Felix's tombstone. At a glance, he could see the red daisies all over the ground, blooming proudly in the morning light. The gorgeous and bright red filled the vision and burned brightly.

A stream of tears surged up, and his nose seemed to be hit hard. It was neither sadness nor sorrow, but Carter himself could not describe it accurately. The tears filled his eyes in an instant, and after a deep breath, they slid down, almost burning his cheeks.

Then, he tried to raise the corners of his mouth into a smile.
