He’s not ‘Kansas City Nice’ — Marcus Peters’ rocky relationship with Chiefs fans

I strongly disagree with the way he protested. But that has nothing to do with why I wanted him temporarily suspended. It was the overall lack of effort (soft tackling, dumb penalties, and most importantly, walking out on his team before the game was over) that did it for me.

Please don't compare to Kelce (Kelce got suspended for an undisclosed reason first half of SD game in 2016). Show me whenever Kelce does not give 100% effort, shows fear, and walks out on his team, and then I will compare them


If KC cared so much about choir boy and character why is Tyreek such a popular player? In 2016 the narrative was we were a bunch of heartless fools who only cared about winning. In 2017 the narrative is we are a bunch of conservative old farts who think all players should go to church 6 days of the week and never cuss?


Just give 100% effort. Can't compare Peters to Deion. Deion gave effort, tackled better, and was a true shutdown corner

Again, rewind to week 1 when peters was by all accounts a pro bowler giving full effort. There were more than a substantial amount of people calling for him to be traded. And then the weeks that followed when he was still giving effort, an even bigger chunk of people criticizing every little mistake looking for excuses to hate the guy. So that's total bullshit that nobody cares about the protests. This has been a little game where both he fans and Peters are at fault. The fans overreacted, Peters reacted to the overreaction, which led to a bigger fan reaction, and so on and so forth. Fans enabling peters, and Peters responding by poking back.

Both are guilty in this. I just hope we don't lose a player at a position we badly needed because of it. And I hope we don't lose opportunities for free agents who see how peters was treated. Seattle has much bigger loudmouths than Kansas city. You barely hear a peep from their fans giving their players a hard time.
