If I were a Chiefs fan, I would probably of stopped rooting for them several years ago. Clark Hunt and previous to that, Lamar Hunt cared nothing about winning. To those owners, the team is simply a business that exist to make money. The team could never have a winning season and as long as the team is turning a huge profit, they would be happy with the result. They dont view the year end standings as an indicator of success or failure. They view their balance sheet as an indicator of success or failure.

If I was supporting a team and the owner had that attitude, I would stop supporting the team. Because when that happens, the team is no longer a sports team. They are a company that exist to make profit. You cant root for something like that.

When most of the members of the team are in criminal activities (like Michael Vick). And if they moved (I'm still disappointed that my Houston Oilers are gone): That sucks!!!!

I agree that Vick did his time and should get a chance to be a productive member of society...but I think that should be at Wal-Mart or McDonald's, not on a football field to make millions of dollars and be idolized by kids. Although I do think that before they released him from prison, they should have put him in a cage, sprayed him with steak-scented cologne, and let those pit bulls at him.
Agreed!!!
