Alright, so the other day I was thinking about sports teams in Kansas, you know, just one of those random thoughts that pop into your head. I realized I didn’t know much about them, so I decided to do a little digging.
First off, I went straight to Google. I just typed in “Kansas sports teams” and a whole bunch of stuff came up. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but I started clicking through some of the results and found some pretty interesting stuff.
One thing I learned was that a team called “FAU” actually beat a Kansas team called “K-State”, which was surprising to hear. I didn’t even know about either of these teams before this.
Then I started to learn about what sports are popular over there in Kansas City. Apparently, for the boys, it’s all about football, basketball, soccer, baseball, and even weightlifting. It seems like the kids there are pretty active, huh? The girls are into soccer, volleyball, basketball, dance, and gymnastics. So yeah, a lot of sports are popular there, which is cool.
- Boys’ Popular Sports
- Football (40%)
- Basketball (38%)
- Soccer (34%)
- Baseball (22%)
- Weightlifting (17%)
- Girls’ Popular Sports
- Soccer (24%)
- Volleyball (22%)
- Basketball (19%)
- Dance (18%)
- Gymnastics (17%)
There was also something about the possibility of new expansion teams, and they were talking about Seattle and Las Vegas. Not really Kansas related but I guess it is related to sports, so I guess it’s worth knowing.
The Big Ones
Now, onto the main teams. I found out that the Kansas City Chiefs are a big deal in the football world. I learned that they play in the NFL, in the AFC West division. They are like the football kings of Kansas City. I also came across some other big names in the area. There’s Sporting KC, which I assume is a soccer team, the Kansas City Monarchs, which sounds like baseball, and the Kansas City Royals, which I’m pretty sure is also baseball.
So, yeah, that’s basically what I learned about Kansas sports teams from my little online adventure. It was a fun little journey into the sports world of Kansas. I found it pretty interesting to learn about the teams and what sports people are into over there. Maybe one day I’ll get to watch a Chiefs game, or check out one of these other teams. Who knows?
