In WW2, they used to call underground anarchists fighting against the regime as "sympathizers". I'm not a Chiefs fan, but I'm a sympathizer. For the simple reason that Austin is a cool dude and let PatriotsPlanet hang its "Welcome" sign on the ChiefsPlanet server. The Mothership had been referred to on PP so I'd popped over here once or twice to look around, and said, "Holy shit, this place is crazy-busy, and everyone here seems certifiably insane." So naturally when I had enough of PP I figured I'd see what it was like on a regular basis here, even though I wasn't a Chiefs fan.
But, honestly, I had nothing against the Chiefs so it was easy to move from "neutral" to "sympathizer". If this board had been called RaidersPlanet or SteelersPlanet, I'd rather eat a plate of hot shit than post here. Half the NFL teams I loathe, and the rest I'm neutral on so I root for them when they play the teams I loathe. The Chiefs were already in that neutral group. My fandom will always be Patriots but, from the neutral pool, I'd pull for the Chiefs if the Pats were out of it.
