Sad day, esepcially for a Chief fan like myself. Lamar Hunts innovations are one of the biggest reasons the NFL has grown to what it is today. Because of him Football was forced to move off the East coast and accross the entire U.S.A. The origiinal AFL franchises that merged with the NFL are all still alive and well (except the Raiders). Many of his idea's made football a much more exciting game as well as his leagues acceptance of African American athletes has allowed the NFL to progress from what used to be a boring run the ball 3 times and punt into the product it is today. He had to be one of the top 10 most influential men in pro sports in the 20th century.
