This term has always made wonder. Why is it that we call people who cheer and love their team Homers? Is it a Homer Simpson thing and we are all dumb? Is it because we think positively and all the other fans out there think we are stupid? Do you honestly think that we do not see that we are 0-3 with a good Broncos team coming to town on Sunday? I know you guys who complain about the team have every right to do it and I have no problem with it. I will argue about it with you, but in the end you are all entitled to your opinions, but I am getting pretty tired of hearing how high and mighty you get because you googled a couple of stats, ignored the good stats and then posted them into a Chiefs bashing article. I guess what it really comes down to is how you feel about the Chiefs. I know how I feel about the Chiefs and I am pretty sure that every single person that I meet every single day knows how I feel about them. For the rest of you who feel the need to call us positive fans Homers, I suggest you watch the name calling. I have a name for people who like a team when they are winning and then b!tch and complain about the team when they are losing. They are called BANDWAGON fans. So I look forward to hearing all your refreshing comments from you “diehard” fans when we are back on the winning track. :bananen_smilies046:
Well call me homer, call me cheerleader, call me anything you want, but I am a Chiefs fan that believes we have problems, but I will always be cheering for the team, always believing we can win! Yes I think cp time is done and has been for a while, still think herm may be able to build a team, but not sure if he can coach a team yet.
Yep, I love the Chiefs with a never ending passion. I just went for a walk and proudly displayed my Chiefs hat, Chiefs shirt with a huge KC logo, and Chiefs shorts. (Also was wearing my Chiefs watch and carrying my Chiefs mini helmet).
People who are positive and passionate about the Chiefs regardless of their record are true Chiefs fans. Doesn’t mean we think they can do no wrong. We criticize things, as does Mitch and Len. But I don’t see how those who would claim to be true Chiefs fans would trash on them and say things like, “‘I’m not watching any more games”, “I hope we go 0-16”, “A high school football team would beat us,” “Len Dawson would do better than our QB’s”, “We suck”.
GO CHIEFS! BEAT DENVER!

I find it rather humorous to see you say that you don’t have a problem with people that bash the team. I believe many arguments have been in direct cause of that very thing. By the way, I am speaking of myself and if you saw my game room at the house, you would see that it is possible to cheer for your team while bashing them for the inept product they have fielded in the last several years!! Cheers!! NOT ARGUING, JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

Cheers!! NOT ARGUING, JUST LOOKING AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.I have never said I don’t have a problem with people bashing the team. If anything I have said the exact opposite. There is a huge difference between constructive criticism and bashing. I think people who bash the team will soon claim to be the biggest fans when we start winning again. If you want to complain about legitimate problems with the team then yby all means go ahead. I will be right there with you, but most of the bullsh!t that goes on here is people who are bashing the team start bashing other members who stand up for our team. That is where my problem lies. I forget who posted it, but I read a post today that said “…and you start calling people names. What are you 12 years old? :iamwithstupid: ” That is just continuing the name calling and it makes certain members seem like idiots. Like I have been saying for years now. Constructive Criticism is fine by me. Winning or losing, nothing is perfect, but when I hear people come on here saying we suck, I expect to see another team logo in their avatar. I no longer question people fandom. I don’t care how people behave at the end of the day, but I personally have never and will never bash the Chiefs because in my book that is the opposite of what a fan does. JMHO :bananen_smilies046:

You know you do.

JMHO :bananen_smilies046:I guess I considered bashing and complaining the same thing. You never said anything in your original post about constructive critisism. I don’t have ANY problem saying the team sucks when in fact it’s the TRUTH!!! Doesn’t mean I don’t want them to win or that I like them any less. It’s just a fact!! There can only be so much constructive critisism for so long. How many times can a person say the same thing over and over and over? IMO, what a fan does is cheers for their team with out waivering while at the same time, saying what is right about that team. My definition of a homer is someone who is unrealistic and will not voice the truth about their team. A person who never see’s anything wrong with their team. To me, stroking a team or a person for that matter when they are clearly doing something wrong is not helping, in fact, it is hurting.
As I said before, I have been called a bandwagon fan before because I voice an opinion that was unfavorable to the so called “homers”. I have traveled to atleast one Chiefs game a year in different parts of the country for over 20 years now! So, my point is that everyone who has voiced disgust in the way this franchise is being run as well as the way they are playing are not bandwagon fans.:11: :bananen_smilies046:

I’m ready when you are!!!! I like all Chiefs fans. I just don’t like when they get mad because I tell the truth about what is going on with the team.:bananen_smilies046:

Like I said, I don’t question anyones fandom. You are who you are. I have been saying there is a difference between bashing and constructive criticism since the day I got on these boards. I am not calling the ones who are upset about the team bandwagon fans. I am referring to the “fans” who come on here and talk about how we suck but never offer any type of insight as to why we may suck or any constructive way of improving. That is just *****ing for the sake of *****ing. But they will be the biggest Chiefs fans when we are winning. I know who the real fans are around here and some of them are not happy with how things are run right now and voice their opinion about it and I have no problem. My problem is with the idiots who do nothing but pick apart the team and never give them credit when credit is due. We may not be the best right now, but we are not the worst either. Every once in a while something goes right and no one ever spends more that 2 or 3 posts saying anything about it. All I head after Week 1 was how Bowe could not hold onto the ball, but then in Week 2 he made 2 amazing catches and I barely heard anyone say a word about it. I guess a real fan voices their disgust, I just get tired of reading 150 posts a day about the disgust felt for the Chiefs.

It’s not good. I haven’t said many things that are positive but I spend an awful lot of money with this franchise, jerseys, hats, flags, games, I try to make at least 1 road trip a year, 3 or 4 home games a year,(share season tix) does that make me a band wagon fan because I don’t offer positive points. I don’t like Herm, have never liked Herm as a coach and probably never will. But it’s hard to get excited about a couple of amazing catches when you are getting beat down in your home opener against a division rival.
Maybe people will hear me if I use really big letters. I DO NOT QUESTION ANYONES FANDOM!!! I have not once in any of these posts questioned anyones fandom. If you want to bash the chiefs then go the fukc ahead. I really don’t give a sh!t anymore. It still amazes me how much you guys want to defend your right to bash your team. I guess no one grasps the concept of constructive criticism so I guess we all might as well start bashing the team we love. While I am at it, I am gonna tell my kids how stupid they really are when they struggle in school. And when my wife has some difficulty at work I am gonna tell how sh!tty a job she is really doing. I guess my homeristic attitude has made me less of a fan who really knows nothing about the Chiefs. Maybe I don’t buy as many T shirts and travel to as many games so what would I know about being a fan. I don’;t bash them enough or maybe I don;t ignore enough of the good things. I am not sure, but feel free to continue bashing the team you love and make sure you jump all over anyone who stands up for them!! :sign0098:
