However, the criticisim towards Bass was hard. The kicker had to close all his social media accounts to avoid any harmful comments, but now he’s facing a lot of support from both Bills and Chiefs fans.

The Ten Lives Club, a cat rescue shelter near Bass, took to social media to defend the player. They posted on Instagram, “Tyler doesn’t deserve any of the hate he’s receiving. He’s an excellent football player and an even better person who took the time to help our organization and rescue cats last year. Leave our friend alone.”
