Melissa Ethridge has been a lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan

You must give props where props are due, and Melissa may be the most educated and informed celebrity Chiefs fan in the group. She understands the business side of things as well as the fan’s side of things.

To hear a celebrity such as her speak on the same issues we regular folk speak of, and to hear her have the same opinions as many of us do, it seems as though you could speak to her at any given moment and she would talk Chiefs football with you for hours.
