Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that the Chiefs are considering relocating to Dallas when there is no evidence of this. The only mention of a potential move comes from Eric Johnson's statement about wanting two NFL teams in his city and his previous campaign for an expansion franchise.
The article states that 'the most-common relocation suggestion being that they just move to the Kansas side of the area.' This is not true. The Chiefs have stated publicly that they are considering all options, including moving to another city entirely.
