Nazi Youth Chiefs Fans.

That made me mad, because I thought they should feel as bad as I felt... and be pissed, and angry, and more pissed and MORE angry.

Over the last two or three seasons I came to realize that for many people, football is basically a distraction. Lots of "fans" go to Arrowhead for the party. They like to drink and tailgate and wear Mardi Gras beads and if we lose, we lose. They're not emotionally invested, so it doesn't crush their soul when we lose.

Even the way the Hunt Family has operated -running this thing like an entertainment enterprise- has made me less willing to get emotionally invested. So now, I don't lose my mind when they lose. It's supposed to be fun, damn it.

I figure if we ever get good enough to actually be a legit Super Bowl team, then the entertainment value will be enough not to lose sleep over the losses any more. I do hope they win at least one more before I exit Earth.

That's pretty much my story. I love the Chiefs but, have permanently lost some passion along the way. The older you get, the clearer the big picture becomes.
