A U.S. Congressman sharply criticized Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt on Friday.
The criticism came immediately after the NFL team announced its intention to leave Missouri. The plan is to build a new stadium complex in neighboring Kansas.
Representative Emanuel Cleaver, a Democrat from Missouri, issued a strong statement. He called the potential move "an unforgiveable act of betrayal." Cleaver represents the district that includes the team's current home.
The Chiefs' current lease at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, expires in 2031. The new $3 billion proposal is for a stadium in Kansas City, Kansas. This has sparked a major regional dispute.
The team says no final decision has been made. However, the announcement has started a high-stakes bidding war between the two states.
