Chiefs owner Clark Hunt crushed by fans for ‘robot’ AFC Championship speech

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

Hunt addressed the fans inside Arrowhead Stadium as well as the national TV audience expressing his excitement over the 32-29 win.

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

But for some, the speech came off a bit like a “robot,” as one person described it. 

“Clark Hunt is AI bro,” one person wrote on X. 

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

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

“Clark Hunt is a robot,” someone else said.

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

“Every one of these is so special,” Hunt said. “What a game today. Travis (Kelce), Patrick (Mahomes) and their teammates always find a way to get it done. That was true this whole year. And it’s a credit to coach (Andy) Reid and his amazing staff. Now we get to do something that’s 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 six-year span and became the first back-to-back champion to return to the Super Bowl. 

A win 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 – aside from the 1974-79 Steelers – to win four Super Bowls in six years.
