When do you give up as a fan?
This is not a thread about not being a Chiefs fan, just a thread wondering about those who don't spend as much time being a fan.

I know this subject has been covered ad nauseum, but lets take a different look at it. The Chiefs suck, they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. The Buckeyes are on a bowl ban, they are way overrated at #12, and watching them on Saturday made me sad. I realized that this team has a long way to go before I consider them good. I have become some apathetic towards the Chiefs and the Buckeyes that a lot of times I just don't care. I only watched 2Chiefs games last year. The Buckeyes I watched all their games, but never with great expecations.

When do you reach a point where you realize that your time is better off doing something productive? Have you as a fan reached that point? Are you a fan who will never do that? I admit that I will not go out of my way to go to Damon's and pay for lunch so I can watch the Chiefs this year. I remember the days of Trent Green and Priest Holmes, I was actually excited to watch the Chiefs, but I digress. I will keep watching the Buckeyes, but man does it suck to have teams you know aren't going to do anything this year.

Another thing that cracks me up. Every year you have the kool-aid fans who are always trying to calm everyone down, yet every year we end up sucking as usual. I don't get annoyed with the fans who are optimistic, but in the same sense it's the same freaking song and dance every year. Well it's only the preseason, well its only the first game, well everyone else looked bad. It's just the same old drum being beat. At the end of the day the Chiefs suck and will continue to suck until we have a QB and a competent head coach and GM. Other than that we are right on schedule!!!

Those aren't kool-aid drinkers. Those are posters that simply want to tell everyone else on the internet how wrong they are. We could have won the first game and the same people would argue anything you were to say positive.

It was probably the game against the Raiders before the playoffs a few years ago.



For the record, though, I hated the Cassel trade, but I still had a little hope.

It's sad having no real hope of fielding a great football team. Obviously where I live everyone is either a Browns or Bengals fan. Whenever I talk football they ask me who I like, and I always say "The chiefs" and then they say "ohh so you know how we feel", then I shake my head, because I know that feel bro.

Yep, that's where we are at.


I am surprised that fans show any pride for our team any more.

When they don't draft a QB in the first this next year.

Seriously though that might just do it for me.

This was my decision last night. I no longer live in KC, and I put a lot of effort into following the team. If they aren't willing to put the same effort into building a winner, I'm ****ing done.

Not that any of you care if I'm a fan or not, but I just thought I would echo this sentiment. Maybe if enough people voice it, someone at arrowhead will listen.

I did when I saw the business side of those jokers up close and personal. There's really no emphasis on winning as long as the ledger is in the black. This was 6 years or so ago. There's absolutely no chance I'll throw a remote through my TV at this point but I'll always watch and try to enjoy it.

It would be interesting to see how much more a team makes if they are a SB contender vs. just being average-mediocre.


People always say that they would make more if they build a contender, but sometimes I wonder....

Contenders spend money on backups that are better than Jacques Reeves.

I'm absolutely convinced that, with the way revenue sharing is set up, it makes no business sense at all for a team to spend the money necessary to accumulate the depth to win a championship.

As to when to give up - when the losses don't hurt anymore, you have given up. There isn't a time that you actively quit, you just realize that the losses don't bother you.

I had a great time on Sunday because I got 2 quarters of decent football, good weather and a hell of a tailgate. I left with 10 minutes left in the 4th not giving a !@#$ that the Chiefs lost because frankly, that's what the Chiefs do. I didn't actively choose to give up - it just happened.

I get more angry about Cardinals losses in July than I do at Chiefs losses. A meaningless July loss in a season with 162 games bothers me a hell of a lot more than the Chiefs just losing 6% of their season. I don't blame myself for it - I used to get so angry at these losses that I'd sit in total silence for hours. I didn't quit on the Chiefs - they just ceased to be worth caring about.

See, I think that's the rub. There are towns like NY and Dallas that scream for a winner and their owners try their darndest. Then, there are towns like KC, Cleveland, Cincy that have such loyal fans, the owners have decided to take their profits and trot out subpar teams. They must sit back at night, read Chiefs Planet's and grin like a cheshire cat.
