EDIT: I think where we disagree is on how we might react to future moves. I don't think our perspectives are all that different. |

While I can understand your perspective, having been a fan longer than you have, I don't share it, so I don't think that plays into it.

That's weird.
You deleted the post I quoted and posted the same thing again, after my quote. |

I know with absolute certainty that I will not, regardless of how negatively I view the moves that this team makes, lose my passion for the team. I do almost wish I could walk away. Yeah, I originally qouted the wrong post.

I don't think you reach these limits suddenly, but my perspective has always been, I'm a fan that doesn't have season tickets, I don't really put any money into the team at all. It's been 30 years of free entertainment. And yea, I have been entertained. I've enjoyed most of my time as a Chiefs fan. I don't consider myself suffering under the oppression of the evil Hunt family that doesn't want to win. The only time I really haven't enjoyed myself was the end of the Pioli era, where I came close to rooting for them to lose, just so Pioli would get fired, it sucked. |

I think it's harder to be a Royals fan, where there has been no success for close to 30 years, but I admire those that never give up on them.

Guess it depends on your definition of success. To me, there's not much if any difference between wining 4 games and winning 10 and getting bounced in the 1st round. This team could go 16-0 for the next five year, but if they can't win a playoff game, what's the point? |

I mean, who wouldn't have fun traveling to four games, only to see a defense that never forced a punt, an offense that couldn't gain a first down until the 3rd quarter, a QB throw his team out of the game, and a defense give up a 28 point 2nd half lead. And then having a 4 hour drive home after each game. So much fun I'm getting chills just typing this. |

I'm pretty even keel after wins and losses - because they really don't matter anymore. Hard to get excited over a win in October when you've proven over 20 years you can't win when it matters most. I went to two games this year - mainly to spend time with some good friends. We won one, and lost one - and my attitude was no different after each game. When this organization can start winning regular season games AND playoff games, it'll be a lot more "fun". |

I guess to boil it down- Did last year just totally suck?
If the answer is yes, that the end ruined to whole season, and, I'm not saying it's wrong, I then understand how you conclude that the last 20 years have been no fun, and nothing but failure. That's just not the way I see it. |
