WHEREAS, Clark Hunt of Dallas and the other members of the |
|
|
Hunt family are celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' victory in |
|
|
Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023, the latest championship |
|
|
triumph by the team that the family has owned since 1960; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Chiefs made a thrilling comeback to triumph |
|
|
38-35 over the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2023 NFL title game; the |
|
|
win earned Kansas City its second Vince Lombardi Trophy in the past |
|
|
four years, following a victory in the 2020 Super Bowl, and the |
|
|
Chiefs also won Super Bowl IV in 1970; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The team was originally established by Lamar Hunt, |
|
|
Clark's father, as the Dallas Texans, and the franchise moved to |
|
|
Kansas City in 1963; Clark Hunt took charge of the Chiefs |
|
|
organization in 2005, the year before his father passed away; |
|
|
today, he oversees the team in his position as chairman and CEO of |
|
|
the Dallas-based Hunt Sports Group, which is also involved with |
|
|
several other professional franchises; he has been instrumental in |
|
|
the Chiefs' recent success, hiring head coach Andy Reid in 2013 and |
|
|
helping to build a championship-caliber staff; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The other members of the family who hold an |
|
|
ownership stake in the team are Clark's siblings, Dan Hunt, Sharron |
|
|
Hunt, and Lamar Hunt Jr., as well as their mother, Norma Hunt; since |
|
|
the inaugural 1967 Super Bowl in which the Chiefs met the Green Bay |
|
|
Packers, Norma has regularly attended the title game showcases; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For over six decades, the Hunt family has played a |
|
|
prominent and influential role in the world of professional sports, |
|
|
and its members may indeed reflect with pride on this latest |
|
|
championship achievement; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Clark Hunt and the other members of |
|
|
the Hunt family on the Kansas City Chiefs' 2023 Super Bowl victory; |
|
|
and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Clark Hunt as an expression of high regard by the House |
|
|
of Representatives. |
