To say I'm disappointed that Hitchens and Mathieu feel they have to take to Twitter to air grievances is an understatement. I understand they are human and sometimes we all lash out at perceived mistreatment. But let's get real.
Toxic? Dude, play in Philly. Those fans booed Santa Claus in 1968. While your paycheck is drawn on the Kansas City Chiefs account, it's the fans that provide the money to make sure it doesn't bounce. Not just the fans in the stadium, but the ones watching from home, the kids that wear a Chiefs t-shirt, the guy that sells you your groceries. When you buy a new car, do you expect it to perform, or do you allow it to sit in the driveway on rainy days? We, the fans, expect you to perform.
Taking to Twitter to badmouth the fans isn't going to look good on your resume. Taking to Twitter to whine about your contract isn't helping, either. Actions have consequences and your's have been noted by the media and your potential employers. Your employer expects you to perform. Watching you throw up your hands isn't performance. The only thing an employer will pay you to do is what takes place between those white lines.
