I can explain it to you but I can’t understand it for you.

I’ll offer you this, though: the Chiefs have had a bit of a tumultuous offseason thus far. We’ve had the Rice accident (video) , Rice alleged assault (no video), Butker commencement speech (video), Buggs dog killing charges (no video), and Wanya & Godrick’s marijuana charges (no video).

Why do you think it is that the two incidents that have sparked the most controversy were on video and the ones that did not contain video were literally not given two shits about?

Your argument that it’s all about our success just doesn’t hold water. If it did, people would have cared more about Rice’s alleged assault and the other guy’s petty bullshit.

Had the Ruggs thing never happened this would be a lesser issue.

Jordan Addison also had a “car thing” post-Ruggs and there wasn’t this same delusional outrage.

That's not the argument. The argument is that people are more outraged over a car wreck than brutal domestic violence because the car wreck was on tape.

You know those people just want the Chiefs as a team to suffer and don't really care about Rice or the morality of the situation. If they did, they'd be outraged over Sutton's suspension.

Holy ****.



Nobody gives a **** about Buggs and Wanya/Godrick because Buggs is a PS level player and the other was a ****ing arrest for weed. If it were Chris Jones instead of Buggs it's an entirely different story, and you ****ing know that. The outrage over Butker is purely political.



You can't possibly be this ****ing stupid.

A no one cares about weed, thats a non issue for 97% of the country

B Isaih Buggs is a borderline player hence why he was cut

Alvin Kamara and his possee beat the ****ing shit out of a guy ALL ON VIDEO and there was little to no outrage, and Kamara got a measly 4 game suspension after playing an entire season after the video was released, no outrage for that either.

Well the sad truth is that Alvin and his crew beat the shit out of a guy. People don’t care about grown men in these situations like they do women, elderly and children.

Add to that the fact that it was in Vegas at 6am.

Another layer is that the video is very dark and you can’t make a ton of the action out. That video is not very marketable.
