If you’ve never adopted a dog from a shelter, you might be unaware that adoption fees are even a thing. They are: It often costs hundreds of dollars to adopt a dog. The shelter says these fees cover spaying, vaccinations, and outfitting the dog with a microchip. With these 108 adoptees, a pet food company also joined in to ease the family’s burden, giving them a year of free dog food each.
Obviously, the families were all Chiefs fans, a community that might just include the most enthusiastic fans of all. They’re the only fans, as far as we know, who have ever risked a penalty for cheering too much. At one 1990 home game, the referee got so sick of the noise that he warned the crowd he’d dock the Chiefs a timeout unless their fans quieted down.
Sorry, we lied before. We did end up talking about a noise complaint.
