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. [Reply]
The True Fan era has continued, it's just switched sides.
The same Save Our Chiefs population that makes up a majority of this board became True Fans once we drafted Mahomes, and now get to namecall the rest of us for not being abject homers every step of the way.
It's Animal Farm all over again, the pigs who led the charge against the True Fans eventually became True Fans themselves. [Reply]

3 SBs in 5 years.
Not 3 playoff appearances. We would have killed for 3 out of 5 years of playoffs in the dark ages. Not 3 AFCW titles. Not 3 years with playoff wins (which were really hard to come by for about 30 years).
Three motherfucking 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? [Reply]

we were longing for a single playoff win. It had been about 20 years. The 90's and early 2000's had some great teams but never a playoff win and that was tough. [Reply]
