  "account": "On Sunday night, many Chiefs fans at the game against the Colts wore red hats, but Cole and Kayla Henry, along with their friends, sported special yellow-haired hats instead. Jack Henry, a retired police officer and long-time Chiefs fan since 1994, was diagnosed with cancer and passed away on Thursday. To honor his memory and his love for the team, Cole, Kayla, and other friends decided to wear the spiky yellow-haired hats Jack had found in Mexico. The number 94, a season ticket member gift from Jack, also played a role in the decision. Jack's daughter-in-law, Kayla, mentioned that his seat is still occupied and a jersey is hung over it as a tribute. The yellow-hat tradition is expected to continue for years to come.",
