Who are you quoting for this from?

It's an April Fool's post. It's made up. It's not real. Alternative facts.

Today I posted on my FB (I live in Kansas City) that Travis Kelce was traded by the Chiefs! Lots of people didn't get it & were surprised, but several did...it was all in good fun!

The information about Rashee Rice was thought to be an April Fools joke also....until it wasn't.

@janet9988  I assure you, as the person who posted the joke, it IS a joke. Is  it possible that sometime in the future ebay will acquire etsy? Or even visa versa? Sure. But ebay did not acquire etsy on April 1, 2024.
