Kick It Up A Notch: Sporting KC’s Kei Kamara

This week, Sporting KC's Kei Kamara sits down with Nick Haines to discuss the burgeoning world of soccer in Kansas City.

A year ago, most of us were still trying to wrap our heads around the terms “Sporting Kansas City” and “LiveStrong Sporting Park.” They were unfamiliar, and some would say even bizarre phrases, describing our re-named professional soccer team and its, then, still un-built new stadium.

All the changes seem to have worked. Rave reviews poured in for the new venue in KCK. The team made the playoffs. Attendance went up 84 percent. Merchandise sales went up 475 percent. And team TV ratings went up more than 100 percent. How’s that for a turnaround?

This week, we’re joined by one of the team’s top star’s and biggest goal scorers, Kei Kamara.

Here is a look a look at his journey from Sierra Leone to Kansas City and his return to play for Africa’s national team:

Bye Bye Bully: Fairfax Learning Center’s Anti-Bullying PSA

This week, we feature the anti-bullying message produced by the Fairfax Learning Center, a high school in Kansas City, Kansas.

Last September, we devoted an entire Local Show episode to bullying and hate. Since then, KCPT has been working behind the scenes with area schools to produce their own anti-bullying messages. This week, we feature the message produced by the Fairfax Learning Center, a high school in Kansas City, Kansas.

Here is a look at another spot that was produced by students at FL Schlagle High School in Kansas City, KS:
