Clark Hunt Is an NFL Owner. And He's at the World Cup. Again.

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — The World Cup attracts all kinds, even a scion of one of the most famous families in American football.

Clark Hunt, an owner and the chief executive of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs, has missed just one World Cup since 1974. That was in 1978. The World Cup was in Argentina that year, and businessmen were being kidnapped in that part of the world, so his father, Lamar, decided to take a pass. Hunt has been at every World Cup since then, and there he was having a shrimp salad with his family at the Peter and Paul Fortress on the north bank of the Neva River here on Tuesday.
