One Direction took a shot at the Raiders at Arrowhead concert and the team fired back
I have to admit this: I know zilch about One Direction, except that they are hugely popular and someone quit the band or is going to quit.
Will that preface, I present this note about One Direction’s concert at Arrowhead Stadium on Tuesday night.
The concert was well-received by almost everyone, save for a coworker who left the office at the wrong time and was stuck on I-70 trying to get home.
USA Today reported that during the show Harry Styles catered to Kansas City fans by saying: “I support the Raiders — said no one ever!”
That’s red meat to KC fans. But the Raiders took exception.
Hey @Harry_Styles, nobody supports the Raiders? Well this is awkward, right @Real_Liam_Payne? #RaiderNation pic.twitter.com/cR4kcQ30Oc

Hat tip to USA Today's For The Win.
