Like I'm going to drive 500 miles to watch that choad Cassel play. I did go see them last year at Soldier Field, but that's local, the tickets were free, and it wasn't even my idea to go.
Can't remember the last time I bought any Chiefs merchandise - even Ebay knockoff stuff. It's been years. I don't wear Chiefs stuff out in public. I keep raping myself by purchasing Sunday Ticket, so I watch these turds suck from the privacy of my own den. I don't invite people over to watch the games or talk about it. It's just a private shame at this point. I used to be Mr. Chief - but people who've met me over the past couple of years probably don't even know I like professional football.

I guess I should also mention that this is how it was with my losing interest in the Royals. Of course, that was before DirecTV or the internet, so I wasn't able to watch them play if they weren't playing the Sox, and there was no support group to commiserate with. Just me and the shame of watching them get the shit kicked out of them yet again and relentlessly suck year after year after mother****ing year. When Brett retired, that was pretty much the end.
I'm really starting to not care about the Chiefs in the same way. Doesn't matter if I can watch them or don't feel alone in being a fan anymore. Decades of abuse tell me that the best I can hope for is crushing heartbreak when they come thisclose but fail spectacularly. And normally they just stink. Every level of the organization is shit, and the handful of talented players we have are wasted. I don't see it getting any better. |
How do we get people to stop going to games?
