I'm pretty sure it's not necessary to actually go quote every single post on this board that explicitly cheered Cassel's injury knowing full well that he was injured. Is it?

I saw several of those posts and I know that most of those guys wouldn't wish harm on anyone ... physical or otherwise. There's a lot of built-up hostility and frustration among the fans of this team and Cassel is (more rightly than not) viewed as the primary cause. Still, I don't believe for an instant that most of those guys were truly serious. FAX |

With this kind of known hate for Cassel, it has to put more pressure on Pioli. |

I would also mention again that the scope and intensity of fatigue, anger, and frustration that has been building among the fan base is practically incalculable. And it's been languishing for a long, long time. So it makes sense that, when something like this happens, the initial response is not what that same person would say or feel or think even a few moments later. Temper justice with mercy. That's my counsel. Although there may be exceptions, people generally don't really wish that Cassel were dead or that he were drowned in rhino urine or that his intestines be forcibly removed and fed to the cats. FAX |

Then they applauded as Cassel walked off of the field (this is just a common courtesy of fans when a player is injured). Then they cheered as Quinn came onto the field. Winston is just projecting his anger at the fans rather than on his team-mates and himself for their terrible 1-4 start. |

**** Winston. He's already worn out his welcome after 5 games.

Here on CP, the ratio of cheering the play to cheering the injury was at best only 40-1. That's assuming that you count the one post saying "Charles dead." is somehow cheering for the play. Otherwise it was 40-0.

Damn. I thought Winston was talking about fans in the stadium but clearly he was reading Chiefsplanet.

You really believe that Mr. DaFace would seriously applaud an injury to a player, Mr. jAZ?
Or, Mr. h5n1? Or, Mr. JASONSAUTO? Unthinkable. Again, it was black humor ... to many, the preferred form. How about Ms. Ultra Peanut? The quote was, "PLAY OF THE SEASON". That is nothing more than a statement more likely fact than not under the circumstances. I can't vouch for everyone on that list, as I don't know many of them at all. However, I can assure you with absolute confidence that there was far less evil intent contained in those posts than you imply. FAX |
