Frankly that comment is more deserving of termination than Kareem Hunt's actions. The players would not be making one penny without the fans creating a high dollar market through TV viewership, ticket sales, merchandise sales, and so forth. [Reply]
None of this shit will matter if the Chiefs somehow rattle off four wins in a row. All will be forgiven.
But if they keep sucking it just gets more and more magnified. HB needs to learn that some rando on twitter with 60 followers is not the entire Chiefs fan base, and also be able to take criticism. [Reply]

Mahomes talked about going 20-0 this season.
Many players on this team have talked frequently about establishing a dynasty and winning multiple Super Bowls.
So why are fans considered to be “whining like spoiled brats” when expectations set by the players are not being met? [Reply]

It certainly doesn’t meet the definition of whining in my book. [Reply]

So these defensive players are in "lower your expectations" mode....problem is, we cant...they are 32nd ranked defense.
Not expecting your team to be the very worst at something isn't being spoiled...these dudes need to get off Twitter and starting showing a pulse on the football field.
THEY are the ones that appear spoiled...waiting for Mahomes to consistently bail their sorry asses out. [Reply]

Of course it's ok to be upset but the sky is falling shit is a bad look for the fans. It reeks of bandwagon jumping. When you have fans legit talking about a back to back super bowl head coach as trash, you've got an entitlement issue.
Again not at all justifying Mathieu or Hitchens behavior. [Reply]

I said it before. If they were average…people would be ecstatic. They can’t even get to average at this point. [Reply]

Okay, the fanatics are fanatical and expect the team to be successful. We spend our hard earned money to watch a bunch of grown men play a game and we are the toxic ones?
Yeah, sounds like some players don't appreciate or deserve the loyal fanbase of the Chiefs and could do with a change of scenery.
Adding to this ....crazykirk gives me cause for reflection-
Who is "our" and "we"?
I am a fan of the Chiefs. They are the team I love and have been for 40 plus years. The Chiefs are not "mine".
It's pro football. I get pissed when "they" lay a turd and rejoice when "they" win the SB. I will never say "we won". I did not win, nor was I any part of the victory. Just the team I root for doing good or not.
I have been a Fan (atic) for more years than most of the planet posters have been alive. It is a passion and I fly my CHIEFS pride 365 in a land of Donk. Chiefs win, Chiefs lose. Did I win or lose? No. The 70's thru today- My colors have not wavered.
I cannot control what is happening but I sure as hell can voice my opinion.
Frank Clark sucks. Jones is a joke. Badger is a waste and PM is trying too hard to make up for the shit show that the team finds itself in. All of which I believe is true.
At the end of the day/season/life nobody will ever be able to say Shiver was a fair weather fan. I am a fan. "we" did not win and "we" did not lose. Chiefs won Chiefs lost.
I will call a spade a spade, a turd a turd and an ace an ace. None of which has anything to do with the weather or who I root for. [Reply]
