I just wish that we, as a fanbase, could at least TRY to be objective about this stuff. All of these are objectively true:
1. The result would have been far more "pure" if they'd played the game. They couldn't.
2. The NFL has rules that should have been used, but those rules absolutely, 100% favored the Chiefs more than any other team. It's BS that they didn't just stick with the rules, but..
3. The Chiefs still came out well ahead here.
I don't understand why we can't just acknowledge that all of those can be true simultaneously.

I'm confused:
-"They couldn't (finish the game)...": they could have, they left town and chose not to.
-"
The NFL HAS RULES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED...that 100% favored the Chiefs"
-"The Chiefs came out well ahead here"...debatable and unknowable. In light of #2 especially, the ire of Chief fans is perfectly understandable. RULES...WERE...IN...PLACE, and yes, for this scenario. I was watching the game where Darryl Stingley was paralyzed. I remember well the Belcher murder-suicide. Face it, the NFL was too afraid of social media backlash, and MADE shit up on the fly...it is their prerogative to do so, it is our prerogative as THE CUSTOMER to both question the motives and the wisdom of that decision. Since we have a playoff team and a generational QB, we will continue to watch, and continue to spend our deflated currency on this debacle, and watching cheffers turn our games into porn; bitching and challenging the league's stupidity is valid and all we have.
