As with every professional sports franchise, the Kansas City Chiefs' impact is to unite a community through tough times and tragedy.

Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to award-winning artist Tech N9ne about the Chiefs' recent success and positive impact on the Kansas City community.

"Whenever the Chiefs are up, crime and killings are down in Kansas City," Tech N9ne explained. "I've noticed the morale in the town. Man, when the Chiefs are up, when the Chiefs are winning, we're all winning. I'm sure if you talk to the PD (Police Department), they will say the same thing. I mean, things change in the streets. From what I see from where I'm standing."

Chiefs players have often given back to the community off the field and are viewed as ambassadors for the city. The tragic events at this year's Super Bowl parade didn't dim the light of the many fans who view the team as an escape from internal issues in their own lives but rather come together to support each other.

"I've heard people say it, and I felt it in the town, celebrating with the town when we're winning. I've been down at KC Live! When we're winning," said Tech N9ne. "Like just the energy in the town, man changes. You don't hear any stories of murders or anything. The Chiefs bring the town joy, man, happiness, and togetherness, just like music does. It's definitely important, and it's obviously great to hear, and just the energy that this team brings."
