Good point. I think it's because we've been brainwashed for so many years that we're close; a Chiefs game hase developed into an "Event". and for most of the last 20 years it has been somewhat warranted.

I think they still go because of habit. Which is sad.

I think it has to do more with love. The Chiefs fans have that. But as the years go by, the Hunts are making it harder to love Chiefs football.

All the more reason to do it.

The culture is definitely changing from the "support at all costs" Cubs mentality, which is a good thing, IMO. Chiefs fans take so much pride for being great fans, I think a lot of people lose sight of the fact that it's a business, and if you're not being entertained, you should spend your disposable income elsewhere.

What are they going to do, leave? :Poke:

I'd never doubt the Chiefs fans in that regard. I just think a message needs to be sent. Sometimes thats what it takes?

If you're team is always losing, you should have every right to leave, and I think they should leave. It is a business you're right, but, with a business comes customer satisfaction. Chief fans haven't received that.

There is nobody on staff to really take over.

Not much to do this year with the season underway.

I'd tell Herm to back off from the offense and let Gailey run it.

I would too. Anybody but Herm. What a dunce.

He isn't gone because it would be embarrassing that Carl traded for him.

He didn't just hire a stiff. He traded for one.

I completely agree. I really don't know why anyone would have stayed to watch the entire game last week. Maybe it was a great day outside and they don't mind paying $8 for a beer? Maybe their wife beats them? I dunno, I turned it off at halftime, because the Lions/Packers was much more entertaining.

I won't go as far as to say Carl doesn't care about winning, but the perfect business model is to be able to keep your customers despite raising prices every year and not worrying about the quality of the product. It would be like raising the price of gas $1 every year for 15 years, and then starting the 16th year, adding water.

After the Indianapolis game last year, I would've let him finish out the season as a "consultant" and now he'd be working for Greg Robinson in Syracuse.

I started a thread the other day entitled " The fans are killing this team" or something like that.
The business that has supported the Hunt family and their way of life for the last several decades is still going strong. Why would they want to screw with that ? The man that overseas their family business has done a fine job. The guy that runs the show has consistently kept this business very profitable over the years. The players make money, the coaches make money, the administrative people make money, Carl Peterson makes money, and the Hunt family has made a ton of money over the years.

Why would anyone want to mess with a business that has been that consistent for that long ?



WE ALL NEED TO HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS OR THIS CRAP WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Not exactly. You said you would shoot yourself. I hope Marty and Clark are in secret negotiations right now.

I see that senility has begun to take its toll.

Sorry about that.

You are failing to recognize that it was not Carl who put those butts in the seats. It was Marty. As soon as he left, it started eroding. Vermiel helped a little bit but it has been downhill since Marty left.

Your opinion doesn't mean much to me. You tend to ignore the facts.
