Britt Reid quits Chiefs as 5-year-old Ariel remains in coma

A week after Britt Reid, assistant coach of the Kansas City Chiefs and son of Andy Reid, car accident and admitted to police that he had been drinking, many people wonder if there will be any ramifications from the NFL and / or the Chiefs organization. Conveniently enough for the Chiefs, Britt Reid’s contract was expiring, so they might feel like they’re off the hook. Britt Reid is no longer an employee of the Kansas City Chiefs.

It sounds like Chad Wheeler’s situation with the Seahawks, where the Seahawks are basically say “He’s not with the team anymore, so it’s not our problem. Best wishes. ”That said, while I hope the Chiefs organization speaks out loud on this issue, it would feel hollow and dishonest from a team that made a clear decision to prioritize to victory before problems off the field No team has history of domestic violence as mature and intangible as the Chiefs, including former employee Kareem Hunt and current Tyreek Hill employees DeAndre Baker (whom they hail from signed yesterday) and Frank Clark. At least the the league is investigating Britt Reid’s case under their personal conduct policy, I guess.

Rudeness and championship issues aside, it’s imperative not to lose sight of the fact that a five-year-old is still fighting for her life. A February 11 update from GoFundMe created for the Ariel Young family, who have now raised over $ 450,000:

“Hello again,

Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for Ariel and support the family at a time like this. She remains in a coma and there is no change today. I hope that the next time I update this page it will be with better news.

When you send message to this page, if you don’t mind, can you please indicate where you are from, I would like to print the messages and show Ariel someday when she is older so that ‘she can see the tremendous outpouring of love and support she has from all over the world.

Thanks again to everyone.

Tiffany Verhulst and her family ❤️ »

I really hope the league will look into this issue, come together to support the victim’s family and offer to help. And then look to make changes to his standards for off-court issues. I hope it will, but I doubt.
