I was incensed that the Chiefs did not show up to play competitive football today. They didn't show up with their B team. They showed up with their F(eff) team.
If I'm a fan who shells out hundreds of dollars to see a professional football game, I expect my team to give me its best effort. It looked like to me the Chiefs didn't even try. They should refund tickets to their fans (and Sunday ticket NFL) for a product that didn't show up to play.
I understand resting players. But not competing at all? If the Chiefs don't care to play they need to not take the fans' money for this game. It was misleading at best, fraud at worst.
Of course, nothing will happen. And I'm sure there are those of you who will say this is the life of NFL football. I don't accept that, and I think a lot of fans don't either. Reid and company should apologize for putting out an intentionally defective product. It's one thing to lack talent. It's another thing to not try to win.
Beyond that, the bigger worry for me is that the "A team" better not suffer a malady of injuries during the playoffs because there is no "B team". We're without depth.
Rant over.
