Granted I had a few drinks last night... But from what I remember the booing during the broadcast is WAY quieter than what I heard on espns replay. Feel like the sports media is the one doctoring the sound.

And as I pointed out last night, we heard the same weird "booing" right after the Chiefs scored a TD, during a PAT. Not sure what it was, but I don't think it was people booing, definitely not anywhere near a majority. |

I think the takeaway though is that the media was always going to find something to latch onto and while it's great that it seems most people handled themselves well, it wasn't going to matter in the end. Flyover country is still flyover country. They were always going to find something to bloviate over. It's just sad that the KC Star has to join in the dog pile. They absolutely loathe their own base. |

People are free to boo. I dont care about the attention to the fan base. I just don't want guys like mahomes and Mathieu to be turned off by our fans. We have the chance to build a dynasty and now is not a good time to **** it up.

Well I hope they're ready to deal with it because they're going to be answering questions about it for quite a while, whether it's actually true or not. The media isn't going to let it go, at least not for a while. Too much value in keeping it going.

When the Texans were running out on the TV broadcast, I figured this was the normal booing that accompanies the visiting team taking the field.
But there is definitely a large swath of people in America who may acknowledge the underlying issues, but are tired of being preached to and don't feel like athletes and TV commentators should be the ones looking down their noses at the rest of us. |

Only loud booing of the night was when Texans ran onto the field. During the moment of silence there was maybe 1 or 2 per section and died out quickly. It got quiet and then when the announcer said "thank you" the crowd overwhelmingly cheered and applauded. As somebody on the more conservative side of things, I felt like the social justice stuff was just fine. Chiefs were on the field and stood for anthem, then conducted a demonstration with a message of unity. Nothing objectionable at all for me. But invariably there are going to be a tiny group of drunk assholes who are ready for a fight. Nothing you can do about that. I think next time don't have it be a "moment of silence". It gives too much power to a small number of loudmouth pricks. |
