Two former Chiefs blast Broncos player’s expletive-laced message about KC
AI-generated summary reviewed by our newsroom.
- Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper posted expletive-laced taunts at the Chiefs
- Cooper deleted the posts after Broncos fans praised his profanity and taunts
- Two former Chiefs players publicly criticized Cooper and mocked Denver’s playoff claim
Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper’s X profile includes this thought: “don’t let success go to your head and failure go to your heart.”
That’s worth noting considering how Cooper celebrated the Chargers’ 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday. Because of the Chargers defeat, the Broncos clinched the AFC West championship, ending the Chiefs’ nine-year streak atop the division.
Rather than celebrate what his team accomplish, Cooper took an expletive-laced shot at the Chiefs on X.
“(Forget) the Chiefs,” Cooper wrote, although he didn’t say forget. It was “the word. The big one. The queen mother of dirty words,” as Ralphie noted in the movie, “A Christmas Story.”
This wasn’t a mistake. Cooper then doubled-down on his first comment by calling the Chiefs “pansies,” and included a couple more curse words.
That’s one way to commemorate the division title, I guess. Because of the excessive amount of profanity, I linked to a post with a screenshot of Cooper’s messages.
Cooper later deleted the posts, but Broncos fans absolutely loved him for trashing the Chiefs.
Ex-Chiefs respond
A couple of former Chiefs players, however, took issue with Cooper’s message.
“Like the kid who flexes after finally making a basket in rec basketball.....after missing for 9yrs!!! Clown!!” Danan Hughes wrote on X.
Hughes, who is an analyst on Chiefs radio broadcasts, added a facepalm emoji and three laughing ones.
And Jeff Allen, the ex-Chiefs offensive lineman, wrote on X: “1 and done in the playoffs, Denver has accomplished their biggest dream already”
