But again - there's no getting around that. It just is what it is and what it will always be. If you have an engaged fanbase, you'll have the same proportion of loud and stupid fans when they're bad as you will when they're good.
What makes you think that things are at ALL different in KC than they are in any of those cities I mentioned? Everything is relative - at worst what players get here is on par with what they'd get elsewhere (and again, I think they're largely treated far better here).
Meanwhile Mathieu is specifically citing Kansas City as disproportionately 'toxic' and that's just horseshit. And folks like you are here to white knight the guy for saying something that is just facially ludicrous.
You're asking me to 'defend' loud and stupid (though much of it lately hasn't been stupid - it's been extremely fair). I'm simply reminding you that there is no curing it. It's ever-present. There will always be loud and stupid and the only way to silence them is apathy. I don't think that's what Mathieu wants either.
And again, you're also trying to paint Mathieu as bristling at over the top criticisms - that's just not the case. He's getting bent out of shape over reasonable analysis and extremely fair questions.

Dude I have called for Mathieus head. I have not defended any players who attack the fans. I've been plenty critical of everyone from Reid to spagnuolo to CEH to mecole to our entire shit defense.
What I haven't done is talk about firing veach. Or attacking Reid as being cooked. Or getting dramatic about how we need to blow everything up from the top down. Or going onto social media and directly attacking players and their families.
We are not the northeast nor should we want to be. We are not a fan base that is frustrated by decades of shit luck and sees no light at the end of the tunnel. We are a team kissed by God going through a bump in the road. You'd think we were the dolphins or browns the way we're griping about our team. And no, this is not common. I don't remember this many calls for Schneiders or Pete Carroll's head immediately after their second super bowl. Thats called being a fair weathered fan. And we've been through way too much as a fan base to stoop to that.
I'm not going that route and never have. I'm critical as hell of this team, but for crying out loud do you know how many fans would kill to be us right now? The fans need to take a big ****ing deep breath. Demand accountability but also trust in Reid and mahomes to turn this around. Give veach five seconds to fix this considering many of our problems come from the guys we signed to quickly bandaid our way into a super bowl.
