Who the hell really knows,thankfully I don't expect anything from them anymore and so losses aren't much of a big deal.

I think we all "care", but many die-hards have just come to grips with the fact that even support-CPR isn't working and it's prolly time to, at a personal level, just call the ToD and let the coroner do his thing. They can go back and figure-out what went wrong (lying the while way), but the head has given up and the body might as well just come to grips with the head giving up.
But alas, there will be 80,000 screaming farmers out there next year. Hy-Vee may have to buy and sell the seats cheaper to keep them on TV, but I don't think there's any way the Chiefs PR machine (the only Tom Brady-like part of this team) will settle for "unsold seats" (even is 20,000 seats are empty on gameday).
I say all that to say this, Clark could do a lot to fix this, but the history is he won't. Obviously his laid-back ways didn't command the respect the team would need to have THAT hold go uncalled like so many others we've posted, and there's nothing that yelling can do to save that. What yelling and making some rather public statements might do is put the league on notice, and invigorate much of the fan base that's packing it in.
It's very hard to get a non-fighter, a PC person, to step into a bar fight, and that's essentially what we're doing here (have him verbally punch the Goodells and Krafts of the league in the jaw), and I just don't think he has it in him to defend the team's or city's honor. He's making $88M clean, and just doesn't like to fight. It's a terrible situation for KC fans and residents.
