Eric Winston was very angry at the cheering when Cassel got hurt. Held court w/ the media for a few min about that in the Chiefs locker room

My read: distinct possibility that Cassel lands on IR, only to return next season.

I was at the game and I'll admit, in the heat of the moment, I cheered.

My Dad and I were standing, cheering the play when I realized he was down. I tapped my Dad and yelled "Cassel is down!, Cassel is down!". I continued clapping, then yelled "C'mon Brady, show us how to play quarterback!... C'mon Brady!"... Dad doing the "Woohoo!" thing... I looked around and noticed almost everyone around us sitting down, with several people staring at us. That's when I realized, oops, that might have been a bit insensitive. Feeling guilty, I sat down and cheered when he got up.

I guess my point is that while there were a few cheers for him going down, I think a majority of the people took the more "classy" approach.

Without commenting on the fan's booing one way or the other:

I heard Winston's comments on radio this morning. It's only right for a team mate to back up another team mate, especially OL for QB. But then he went on and on and on. At one point I was thought he was going to go T.O. and get all weepy "that's my quarterback". He kept saying "you fans that booed, you disgust me."

"He's a human being." No, he's a football player. If a regular person fell down on the street 99% of those people would not have cheered.
"So what if he's not the best quarterback?" That would be fine if you were talking about a flag game at the company picnic. You aren't.
You are paid millions to play and entertain, not to tell fans what you think they should think, feel, do. Not just Winston, all pro athletes. Hate the citizens all you want but keep that talk to yourself in the gladiator room.

Cool that he bothered to respond, but pretty lazy not to even watch the freaking tape.

Par for the course.

We're not supposed to agree with you as a donkey fan, hurry up and take Winstons side. I guess you missed the other thread.

I am still waiting for Eric Winston to apologize to the fans for his team's 1-4 start, including laying down against San Diego.

Where is the apology Eric?

We are still waiting you epic pile of shit.

Cheering for an injury is despicable. It's a game.

Late to the party, it's also reported that the fans were cheering for the Draughns 15 yard 1st down catch and run and not the Cassel injury that's been circulating.

I saw people cheering the injury on my news feed (Facebook).
Is it so hard a few people in the fans did the same?

Of course there are faceless assholes who would do that, but reports from the fans at the game said they were cheering for the 1st down run but coincidentally Cassel was injured on the very same play.

As well as Bowe giving the raise the roof sign towards the end of the play!

I'm going to guess there was a little of both.
That's impossible to prove. I think it's a safe guess that a few assholes peppered into the crowd rooted for a horrible football player being injured. Not for the sake of being injured, but so he'll be replaced. Which is equally despicable in my book.
