So there is a recognition and perhaps a stereotype too. Perhaps "Loyal to a Fault" fits well..
What I DO get from folks outside of the Chiefs circle is, "Wow, how can you put up with having a team that does that shit to you year in and year out? At some point are you guys going to revolt?" After I shake my head and mention that there's only one common part to the 46 years on no SB wins, but no, we won't revolt any farther than flying a banner. Then the conversation usually moves into absentee ownership, and then I try to just shift the conversation to something more comfortable like politics, global warming, and world peace. It's not fun to talk football when your team isn't providing you with some ammunition in fan conversations. The saving grace is that two of my neighbor's favorite team is the Browns, so the thrashing I get is usually limited to when I'm at work.

Pretty much this. If there's any stereotype of the Chiefs it's probably the same one that applied to Royals' fans prior to 2013.
