Opinion: Chiefs must be transparent about Britt Reid as he’s charged with DWI in crash that left a child with brain injuries
Since Britt Reid’s drunk driving accident in Kansas City that left a 5-year-old girl with serious brain injuries — just days before the team that employed him played in the Super Bowl — the Chiefs’ public posture about the incident has been notably passive.
Besides canned statements of support for Ariel Young at every development in the case and an acknowledgment that Reid, the son of head coach Andy Reid, was no longer employed as a Chiefs assistant coach, there hasn’t been much transparency from the team about what it has learned from the night of the crash.
That needs to change — and soon.
On Monday, Reid was charged with driving while intoxicated, a felony that could potentially imprison him for up to seven years. Now that more details have emerged from the investigation, a civil lawsuit also seems likely as Ariel Young still cannot talk, walk or eat and could face medical complications for the rest of her life. According to the family’s attorney, she was sent home from the hospital earlier this month in hopes that familiar surroundings would help her recover.

At Monday’s closing price this would have valued this purchase at roughly $26.8 million. Even though this is a small fraction of the total holdings, every little bit counts. ARKK is up 163% in the last year, and ARKW is up 177%.

Casa Bonita, Famed Denver Restaurant Depicted In ‘South Park’, Files For Bankruptcy
Casa Bonita, the beloved Denver restaurant featured in a 2003 episode of South Park, has filed for bankruptcy, according to documents reviewed by Colorado’s 9news.
The Mexican restaurant was compelled to shut its doors in March of 2020, following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic—and since then, it has remained closed.
In the South Park episode written and directed by the show’s co-creator Trey Parker, Casa Bonita hosts the birthday of Kyle (co-creator Matt Stone), as Cartman (Parker) tries to coordinate Butters’ disappearance. Both Parker and Stone grew up in Colorado, and are said to have based the episode on their memories of going to Casa Bonita as kids.
Serving the Denver area for 46 years, Casa Bonita is also known for its 30-foot waterfall, arcade and inviting atmosphere.
Casa Bonita’s owners, Summit Family Restaurants, reportedly filed for Chapter 11 on April 6, meaning that they are allowed to propose a plan of financial restructuring and reorganization, in order to keep their business afloat.
While the restaurant’s website says that it will be “re-opening soon,” some of its patrons have expressed their doubts, creating a GoFundMe page to make sure that the “cultural and historic icon” and “vibrant piece of the Colorado landscape” doesn’t disappear. Created by Andrew Novick, the “SAVE CASA BONITA” campaign has thus brought in $17,590 of its $100,000 goal.
