Chapter 906: 905 ga Star Halo
ESPN, “Inside the League.”
No one expected it—completely unexpected—that the program would go viral in such a manner, and Bart’s -filled expressions were plastered across every corner.
After this battle, “Li Wei Hater” Bart and “Li Wei Fan” Lawson reached their peak of fa across North Arica, becoming undoubted NFL superstar comntators on social dia.
See, this is Li Wei’s influence. Even as comntators, they can effortlessly step into the spotlight by relying on the topic of Li Wei.
When internet users joined in complaining about this year’s Super Bowl being dull and boring, when the boycott of the Super Bowl beca mainstream on social networks, Li Wei rose against the tide, becoming the only highlight.
Even those voicing criticism admitted that this year, on key issues, Li Wei fully displayed the stance of a true leader. Perhaps Li Wei was the only redeeming quality of this terrible Super Bowl, and he naturally deserved to be the face of football.
Unexpected but perfectly reasonable, Jay-Z and Rihanna openly discussed Li Wei.
The two top stars publicly rejected invitations to perform at the halfti show and firmly expressed their stance against the Super Bowl, successfully escaping its overshadowing negative reputation this year. Yet in interviews, one after another, they ntioned the Super Bowl for the first ti.
To be precise, not the Super Bowl, but Li Wei.
Jay-Z: “Yes, I watched the Super Bowl. The Li Wei clips.”
Let’s not forget, Jay-Z was born in New York, rooted in New York, and remains one of the top figures in East Coast hip-hop. His support for Li Wei is hardly surprising.
Reportedly, after the Super Bowl, Jay-Z even personally invited Li Wei to his ho, with Beyoncé warmly welcoming him as well.
Rihanna: “We need more Li Wei. Players like Li Wei are who can truly beco the face of a sport.”
Brady: Wait a minute, are you throwing shade at ?
It’s hard to imagine how, even amidst the whirlwind of negativity surrounding the Super Bowl boycott, Li Wei managed to rise and beco the sole winner of this year’s Super Bowl.
No wonder even the league rarely abandoned its tradition of “Pass is King” and “Quarterback is Core,” wholeheartedly thrusting Li Wei into the public spotlight.
With influences, topics, and accolades, Li Wei continually broke boundaries, elevating his presence beyond football and into other realms. Even rumors beca a helpful wind pushing Li Wei further on his climb, achieving a level of dia intensity unimaginable.
Ultimately, it created the current scenario—
“GOAT vs Rookie.”
Two years ago, when this topic first erged, it was just a joke, a diversion, an entertaining headline. Everyone was talking about it, but with a playful attitude.
Now, without a doubt, this topic has beco the focal point of the league. Li Wei has clearly surpassed Brady, becoming the undisputed new face of the NFL.
Within the league, when this topic arises, it’s regarded as a head-to-head matchup between the two best players today. Outside the league, Brady and Li Wei are unmistakably considered the representatives of the NFL, directly equated with football itself.
In other words, Li Wei’s superstar status has officially been cented!
At this mont, revisiting Roger Goodell’s series of moves, it’s no surprise to find this economics-trained leader keenly attuned to the pulse of the era.
Goodell had long prepared for this, rarely abandoning his push for quarterbacks. “Mahos vs Goff” would have been an excellent narrative; but now, his top priority is clearly Li Wei, sincerely hoping Li Wei can deliver again next season.
The “Deification Plan” has already set its gears in motion.
Then, across the North Arican continent, a peculiar yet fresh trend erged—
Go to Kansas City.
In North Arica, population movent has always been a norm. Moving, migrating—it’s simply a part of life. Young people leave their hotowns and head to another city or state to carve out a new future; or perhaps embark on road trips, working while wandering, settling wherever feels right.
Thus, besides the ga-cities of Los Angeles and New York, only Chicago and Houston boast populations exceeding two million across North Arica. Other cities, big or small, typically hover around one million—a figure enough to mark a spot on the map.
Cities like Detroit and New Orleans, scarred by hardships, see their populations depart; cities like San Jose and Atlanta, filled with opportunity, draw people in.
Just like the “Gold Rush” of the past.
Now, it’s happening again.
For a long, long ti, Kansas City—lacking appeal and competitiveness—faded into oblivion amid the vast, desolate central region.
Economically, historically, culturally, and even in terms of unique features, there was hardly anything to draw attention. The city sank into quiet decline, an unremarkable presence slipping deeper into the sands of ti. More and more young people chose to leave, and passing travelers seldom lingered; the vitality of the city drained away, bit by bit.
Until now.
People who’ve never lived in Kansas City might not understand the place, but when they see the Kansas City Chiefs, see Li Wei, especially glimpses of fan-and-team unity during the Arican League Championship and the Super Bowl, they can’t help but feel a surge of passion and longing.
It’s as if they’ve glimpsed Oz from “The Wizard of Oz.”
Thus, a new hashtag erged on social dia platforms: #GoToKansasCity.
Initially, it started with just a handful of people, indistinguishable from the usual routine of young travelers embarking on road trips—this ti, with Kansas City as the destination.
Yet gradually, piece by piece, this small group found fellow travelers joining them, the montum quickly swelling under the hashtag.
When fresh blood flows into a city, it sparks new vitality. After all, a city is ultimately a space for its people.
At the most basic level, everyday consumption drives activity, and visible signs of life return to streets and alleys.
However, if it stopped at a re influx of visitors, high unemploynt would persist, and the apparent boom would only be fleeting. When the tourists leave, the city would sink back into silence.
Fortunately, it wasn’t just people. Businesses, big and small, also began pouring into Kansas City, betting on the city’s prospects. Companies in agriculture, manufacturing, and processing started erging, cautiously yet optimistically injecting energy into the region.
That’s the key.
After so much waiting and enduring, Kansas City finally seems to have encountered a turning point. The city as a whole is awakening, like the arrival of spring.
Undoubtedly, this is rare; yet it’s also a blessing welcod by city hall.
If anyone is curious why cities hope for professional athletes to call them ho, why they aspire to host events like the Super Bowl, why the New Orleans Saints garnered widespread praise for staying put after Hurricane Katrina—
Kansas City today is the answer.
