Tamba Hali Airing Playing Time Grievances on Twitter

Tamba Hali is mad, and on a weekend day in July just before the arrival of camp, has decided he’s not going to take it anymore without letting his frustration be known publicly. The 33-year-old defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs started only two games a year ago, finishing with 3.5 sacks (his lowest total since 2008).

Hali has gone on a lengthy tirade about reduced playing time in last year’s playoff game against Pittsburgh.

Fans should know this. only played 7 snaps last year 2017 playoff game against the Steelers.

I was told the reason I wasn't playing was they wanted me fresh for the playoff.

Can someone explain to me how I played 58 snaps in the first game when we made the greatest comeback in Chiefs history?

watching both Steelers game from sideline and playing 15 and 7 in the last game I'm still lost. Am I needed in KC anymore?

I was healthy last year and the year before. I had a scope not a major procedure. The result of playing for a long time.

and it continued, culminating in the third person reference.

TAMBA HALI IS TWEETING HIS THOUGHTS.

Aging as a football player has to be tough, and so does the dance of dealing with players with egos and accomplishments.
