While the fatal shooting was acknowledged in the upload, social media users were still left upset by what they felt was a careless decision to post joyful photos from a day filled with grief.

"I live in a town where there was a mass shooting during a 4th of July parade and people sure weren’t posting celebratory images — and by the way the fireworks after were canceled out of respect to those shot. Did anyone consider canceling the dinner? Celebrating a victory in a SPORT over lives, I literally don’t understand," a critic complained.

A second user snubbed: "Children got shot, but let's post happy dinner photos. I get trying to show the happier part of the day. Are these same folks going to visit with the shooting victims and families? Or is this just a thoughts and prayers situation?"

Some fans supported Emily's decision to share uplifting photos in light of the heavy news, with one expressing: "I was just thinking today I'm sad there aren't photos of the actual parade online and the happiness that was felt. Everyone is talking about the evil. You can be excited, grateful, happy, and still grieve the pain and loss. Congrats to the Chiefs from a Seahawks fan!"
