Yeah I mean we all know. We know our players are targeted because people are breathing copium and hopium because Mahomes seems unbeatable. They're terrified and hoping to cause a fire every moment they can.
It's the byproduct of cheering for a dynasty. Meanwhile Cleveland is a team of degenerates cheered on by a city of degenerates but nobody cares because they lose. |

I mean, hell. You’re in here crying about how no one cares about the Sutton case when YOU don’t even care about it. You literally didn’t even know he had been picked back up by the Steelers or that one of the key allegations in the initial report was erroneous. And you’re an idiot but I’d consider you plugged in to the NFL. You really expect the average NFL fan to give a shit about an ongoing story like this enough to follow along at every turn? Like I said, without a video it’s just another headline that gets lost in the 24-hour news cycle, just like all the rest. Quote:

The Mecca and virus version of fans on reddit were in full screeching mode the moment rumors emerged

The only reason I give a shit about the Rice situation and have followed up with it is because he's a Chief, but there's no scenario where I'd be outraged over a rival team's player street racing and calling for a full season suspension. |

This is yet another example of you being out of the loop and not realizing that you are clueless. There was 100% outrage and there will be again when he's inevitably given 4-6 games. Hell, I bet he can get 8 games and people STILL wouldn't be satisfied while ignoring Sutton only getting 8 for something far worse. They don't actually care. They just want to hurt the Chiefs. Why is this so hard to accept? Also, say what you want about Twitter and social media, but companies and leagues respond to it. They at least think that it represents the real word. When I heard the 8 games comment from Palmer and that that was even a possibility, I already knew it was possible those "dipshits" and "pussies" were actually having an impact. It never made sense then, and it definitely doesn't now that we know what Sutton got. I'm still not confident we don't get ****ed because of that fake outrage. He should maybe get 2 after seeing Sutton's. Last edited by staylor26; 07-10-2024 at 03:22 PM.. |

Have we defined 'they' in this discussion yet? Because if 'they' = the NFL fanbase writ large - I don't disagree with you. I don't have any independent recollection of what I thought when Brady got however many games he got for deflategate but '**** the Patriots' was pretty much my operating baseline. However many games he got, I'd have wanted it doubled. That's why I say to embrace the black hat. The overwhelming majority of NFL fans are not Chiefs fans. And the Chiefs are the boogey man right now so they hate the Chiefs. And they pretty much hate us for LIKING the Chiefs. I can live with that. In fact, it's a hell of a lot more fun than me having to hate the Patriots. Now if 'they' here equals the NFL....eh, I dunno. I'm not sure that's it. I don't think the NFL has any interest in batting back the Chiefs and their possibility of a 3-peat. That's bad business. Because ultimately that's going to be a HUGE part of the post-season and marketing. Hell, I think they'd be happy to see the Chiefs start 14-0. A 'good (the rest of the league) vs. evil (Chiefs)' scenario is EASY to sell. And sell it they would. No, I think it's one of two things. A) Clark is happy to eat shit so we get made an example of too many times. Either he's just too earnest or he gets some benefits (as I suggested, head of the finance committee) that we simply don't know about. Or B) The league's just erratic as ****. And when the wheel spins round, sometimes it lands on us to eat the biscuit. |

I had a professor refer to it as 'leading with your chin' and it's typically an awful way to write (or debate or whatever). I'm still not great about avoiding it but I'm orders of magnitude better than I used to be. I think ultimately it's a clear "little for Column A, little from Column B" scenario. Now argue in the degrees if you want; keystrokes are free. But I think before people knew a single thing about any of this, they saw "Chiefs WR Rice" and got the long knives out. Then they got the video and it was blood in the water (why, I do not know). When I read the rumors about whats his dick - that little WR for the Ravens that the idiot around here thinks is a God - as soon as I saw "Raves Wide Reciever..." in the headline, I was rooting for something awful to befall him. Because I want things to go poorly for the Ravens. And if there'd have been ANY video of it at all, I'd have said "See! The league needs to ban him for a season!" Because again...reasons. And now that it's seemingly gone away, I'm annoyed at the NFL for not ban-hammering a key rival of ours. Some of it's rational. Most of it isn't. It's mostly based on being a fan. And ask anyone who's super pissed at Rice right now what they think about literally any other hit and run accident that's taken place in Dallas since. Or Texas. Or anywhere in the United States at all that didn't involve them. They have no opinion at all. Shit man, WE only care because it's a Chief. None of it seems super-complicated to me. |
