I found the “True Fan” of the Chiefs!

[Mephistopheles Janx]

This made me chuckle because of how CP’ers, and Chiefs fans in general, went at one another during the Mark Castle era accusing one another of not being “true fans”.







This man leaves no doubt as to his allegiances and even got the government involved with his proclamation of fanhood.

Three mother****ing Super Bowls.

Like... if you're going to criticize something... I mean, why?

You don't win 3 out of 5 SBs without doing a LOT of shit the right way. Mistakes will be made, sure, and several posters have criticized or questioned a handful of personnel moves at some point. But when you've got a track record of 3 of 5, it's probably wise to just share your opinion, have the discussion in the thread, and then be done with it until more information comes along regarding whether the move was successful or not.

I guess... maybe call your shots better? You don't have to splooge with Chiefs praise every post, but maybe expressing just a little benefit of the doubt towards the people in charge of the franchise would get you fewer dirty looks?

lmao sure

I want you to start a thread complaining about the team's first round draft pick next season, whomever it ends up being, as respectfully as you wish, and watch what happens to the thread.

I am beyond thrilled to live through this era of Chiefs football, but I didn't come here for hero worship like this forum has become. I'll do that when they become infallible.

My first playoff game was Denver in 1998. I was in high school and walked out of the stadium with grown men frozen in their seats crying. I felt sad for those people. It took 2 decades from that point to walk out of Arrowhead a winner after a playoff game. And it was spectacular.

I’ll never judge whatever anyone calls a “True Fan” pre-Mahomes. We all have our stories and personal trauma.

The entire philosophy was proven wrong in the most resounding way possible. They argued for years against drafting a QB high, because no prospect was good enough or safe enough.

You don't even understand the verbiage. True Fans comes from a Carl Peterson quip to the media about who were actual fans of the Chiefs. Carl Peterson's philosophy of going safe in the draft and getting retread QBs lead to decades of nothing. The people supporting him probably had ancestors who thought Steiner's counterattack in Berlin would change the trajectory of the war.
