No team in the NFL is more closely tied to the Dallas Cowboys than their next opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs. This may seem to be a strange statement to some people, especially given the fact that in the 54 years that both teams have been playing professional football, this week’s game marks only the 10th time the two franchises have met. How then could they be so closely related?
The fact of the matter is both teams became professional franchises in Dallas, Texas in 1960. Both franchises were founded by wealthy sons of the Texas oil fields, the Cowboys by Clint Murchison Jr., and the Chiefs by Lamar Hunt. Both fathers of these two football pioneers have been implicated in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by a woman who alleges to have had a long affair with Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Were their fathers part of the conspiracy? Not for me to decide. Both men had ties to the original Dallas Texans of the NFL, a woebegone team that lasted only 1 year in 1952.
