Clark Hunt is his fathers son. He wants a championship as badly as his father did. the truth is it is not an easy thing to accomplish, otherwise we would have a dozen by now. what makes us believe he "owes" us anything. just because we pay for tickets to be entertained, all he owes us is to put on a good show. the CHIEFS have failed to do that, yes. last year when we upset the packers we didn't say that was so great i'm going to give them more money as a gratuity. that is ridiculous. it is REALLY easy to support your team when they are competitive ie....throngs of yankee fans, true fans love their team no matter what. yes you get upset, angry, frustrated,etc..when they lose. to stand up and say i am a fan so you OWE me a winning team just somehow feels wrong. doesn't it seem more likely that an owner looking at a loyal fan base during the lean losing years that stand faithfully behind their team earns HIS loyalty and respect. i see nothing wrong w/us voicing our displeasure w/pioli, cassel, romeo etc.. has Clark made mistakes, ya sure you betcha! is he trying to make this team better? heck yeah ! telling the CHIEFS we will only buy tickets to watch you if you are going to win, just sounds more like a cowboy fan than a CHIEFS fan to me.
