In KC ? Maybe so.... Otherwise, take a wild guess at what is the most popular sport in the world. Last WC final games was watched by over a billion people worldwide.

Seattle (and maybe other cities) have rounded up all their homeless (who are very often drug addicted) and temporarily relocated them to other neighborhoods so that the tourists don't have to see what regular Seattlites have to put up with every day.
