‘OMG. They’re really crying.’ Chiefs Kingdom roasts Miami fans griping over cold KC game

A lot of Kansas Citians hunkered down Tuesday during the first major winter storm of the new year.

But Kansas City and Miami Dolphins fans heated things up on social media ahead of the Wild Card game Saturday night at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

The smack talk boiled down to this …

Dolphins fans: The NFL and Chiefs rigged it so the team from sunny south Florida would have to play in the cold and snow!

Chiefs fans: Stop whining!

“Ah yes. The NFL and the Chiefs special ordered the weather system straight from Canada,” tweeted @jeana_1983 on X, formerly Twitter.

“Miami Dolphins fans complaining that the NFL is rigged because they have to play at Arrowhead when it’s dead of winter and too cold was not on my bingo card,” tweeted X user Chiefs.Girl.

“Omg they’re really crying this is what home field advantage is. Cry about it,” tweeted the fan account Arrowhead Live, which has nearly 98,000 followers on X.

In this virtual snowball fight, Chiefs fans posted memes about the snow, recalled the coldest Chiefs games they’ve ever attended and even shared information on where tailgaters can get hot food under a huge heated tent city in Lot J before Saturday’s game.

Arrowhead Live mocked one Dolphins fan in particular, Mike Williams, who retweeted a video of KC City Manager Brian Platt talking about the city’s all-hands-on-deck approach to prepping for Tuesday’s storm.

“Kansas City is telling people to stay inside. But they want to have a game?” Williams tweet-complained. “@NFL @NFLPA. The Dolphins vs Chiefs game should be moved to Indianapolis. Protect your players, their families and the fans.”

“Of course they would wanna play it in the cold so they can rig it for the Chiefs,” another Dolphins fan commiserated with Williams. “That being said if the temperature are reaching dangerous levels then safety SHOULD take priority.”

Williams wrote again on Tuesday after the snowstorm hit Kansas City: “…looking forward to fans losing body parts? Good luck to you guys (too).”

“It’s not gonna be moved. The playoff game was earned and the dolphins are playing at arrowhead. Deal with it,” Chiefs fan Brandon Herman tweeted at Williams.

“Dolphins fan already begging for his team to get out of playing at Arrowhead,” mocked another Chiefs fan on X.

“Fins fans dying to not have to play in Chiefs kingdom Whining about a little snow … perhaps when temps reach above 100 in Miami NFL should also consider moving the games to somewhere cooler Or is that not how that works? Clown fish,” tweeted X user @Lozano_JETS in, uh, New Jersey.

“Hey look, another Miami fan that’s not used to how the playoffs work. … This game won’t even make my top 5 coldest games I’ve been to. stop crying and check your Peacock subscription,” Alex@Arrowhead tweeted.

Saturday’s high is expected to be 11 degrees and likely colder by the 7 p.m. kickoff. (Here’s how to watch it on broadcast TV, for KC and Miami residents, and Peacock, for the rest of the world.) The game could be the coldest playoff game in Chiefs history.

That forecast is getting quite a bit of attention in Fins-land.

Might this have something to do with it? Since January 2017, according to NFL Weather, the Dolphins have played in seven games in temperatures below 36 degrees — and lost all seven.

WPBF 25 News in West Palm Beach, Florida, called the expected low temperatures “a cold reality for the Miami Dolphins.”

The Miami Dolphins Zone, a fan site on Facebook, is also tracking Saturday’s forecast. On Tuesday it reminded fans that the “Miami Dolphins and their Hawaiian QB are about to play the coldest game in franchise history.”

Their quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa, was born in Hawaii and played college football for Alabama’s Crimson Tide.

It snows in Alabama, doesn’t it?

So no need to explain here that snow is that white stuff that forms when water vapor freezes?

“Miami Dolphins you ready for this?!” teased one Chiefs fan on Facebook Tuesday along with a picture showing the several inches of beautiful white snow weighing down the evergreens in his backyard.

Even Buffalo Bills fans, who like Chiefs fans know a thing or two about games played in snow, jumped into the jabber-jawing.

A Miami Dolphins YouTuber retweeted a video of Tuesday’s snowstorm pounding parts of Kansas and sarcastically suggested that “Idk for players and fan safety the game should be moved liked the Bills game last year lol.”

“It won’t look like this on Saturday, why is the Miami contingent thinking this scene will continue till Saturday, do your hurricanes stick around for 5 days!” a Buffalo fan tweeted at the Dolphins fan.

Another Miami fan, @SackedFootball on X, sounded resigned to the mitten-covered hand that’s been dealt his team.

“A Playoff game, in Arrowhead, in freezing temperatures isn’t ideal,” he tweeted. “But it is still an opportunity that the Miami Dolphins haven’t had much of in the last two decades. I am still very happy, and very proud of this team and where they’re heading.”

Another Dolphin fan who goes by 305 Sports Babe on X reassured her followers that, despite the extra challenge of the weather, “we haven’t given up on our dolphins & i sure hope you didn’t either. YOLO, screw the cold, life is short & I believe (in) this team.”

She spoke like a true fan.

But so did Chiefs fan Patricia Bilal over on Facebook.

“Dolphins can’t swim in snow lol Bring it!” she wrote.
