because many great teams have said they were like a family. ESPN has tried to make this game about the individual, rather than team...ever hear married couple seeing themselves a team? I don't think it's a coincidence that the biggest bashers don't have any children. |

My connection to the Chiefs--whatever the hell this means--will never remotely be on the same level as what I have with my family. Frankly, I could care less what kind of people the players and FO folks are. I want results. It's a business, and I like high-quality products. It's NOT personal in any respect.

It is for someone who considers himself a part of the franchise, and every criticism of it, a slight against him.

Usually the ones throwing tantrums aren't able to express themselves coherently. Unlike, say, you.

But alot of people including Deez were pissed when he did it as they should be. So it is personal to some degree. |

You can have a personal investment in wanting them to succeed because you care about the team. You needn't have a sycophantic parroting of the regime nor treat every criticism of it as a vicarious insult of your person.

I've been as critical as anyone with realistic expectations, I just don't have to repeat it a thousand times to feel validated. |

If flipping off a fan helped get Haley fired, all the better for KC. It's hobby. So, yes, I invest personal time, but this is a completely different point to what you're making above. You previously compared a reaction to the Chiefs winning the SB to your own daughter's hypothetical personal achievement. I find that type of association ridiculous. They're not at all comparable. |
