Eagles’ Darius Slay angered all of Missouri by stating Kansas City is in Kansas, even though he’s right

Kansas City, Kansas is — in fact — an actual city!

It’s time to pull out your maps of the United States for this one.

On Monday, Super Bowl week got underway with media night as the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs answered questions from the press ahead of Super Bowl 57. The night produced some hilarious moments, such as Nick Sirianni’s blunt response as to whether or not the Super Bowl is a “must-win” game.

And yet, it seems as if the questions were conspiring against Eagles CB Darius Slay, as he pulled quite the tricky one out of a bucket during his go.

The question? “What state is Kansas City in?” His response? “Kansas.”

While the response clearly angered Missourians, Slay isn’t wrong here. There is a Kansas City, Kansas and it’s right across the state border from Kansas City, Missouri! The more you know, folks!
