In the past month, Cal Hearn had become the frontrunner for ownership of the Kansas City NAAF franchise. In the past week being made more official as he was set to meet with Commissioner Ryan Jameson. However, it appears that the two sides have decided to go in different directions.
NAAF Commissioner, Ryan Jameson, stated, “We have elected to end the bid with Cal Hearn, due to differences in how the project will move forward. We felt that it wasn’t a good fit and are moving on to another option.” It is unclear what the potential second option is, but expect it to be, once again, a new bidder.
Some are speculating that there was more to it than a difference of opinion. Rumours have been thrown around by those who claim to have some connections to what is going on. The top rumour is that Hearn may be more interested in eventually jumping ship to the GAFL or GLFL. As far as we know, Hearn does have public connections to ownership groups in either league, which certainly could back up the rumour. However, the other sources say that there just may have been a more ambitious stadium plan that may have required further delays to the team.
Hearn has made one comment: “They are good people, I suppose, but clearly not thinking big enough, and I don’t really want any part of that."
This comment does fuel the flames for the 2nd rumour, as he definitely could have had more ambition than the NAAF was prepared to delve into, considering the current state of the KC franchise and the many delays in the past half-decade.
