Babb: Chiefs losing younger fans

[RippedmyFlesh]

Its not the 10-11 year olds I think about.It is the chief's fans in their 30's and 40's who were too young to remember SB4 that I feel for the most. Some of them have invested years and $$ in this team only to become this generations cub fans. What happened 40 years ago doesn't affect today's success or failure in any way but those that lived through it have seen the chiefs win. That is something fans younger than me have a hard time realizing is possible. Kudos to the fans too young to have seen hank's teams for hanging in there.

Thanks for the Kudos.


It is tough to be damned to a team like this (Thanks big brother and Dad).

The thing of it is it's not just that they won back then it's how they played and were perceived. KC was considered an innovative team ahead of their time. Beleive it or not they were somewhat of a national team pulling in fans with no ties to the area because they were good, exciting to watch and one of the most creative teams. Even during marty's best years you would have never heard them described that way.
At least you have an excuse my dad was a giants fan and brothers were browns fan and a raiders fan
My brother the raiders fan got me into the afl but didn't try to force a team on me.So in reality it was a raiders fan who made me a chiefs fan

That is what I want, a team that bucks the trend on their way to a SB championship.
