Suck it up and grow some balls and quit whining. Give it as good as you get it and the respect will come.

The friendly midwesterners of Kansas City reputation is, for whatever reason, extended to being insulted, harassed or otherwise being done wrong too. Apparently, we are supposed to just smile and thank them for their rude behavior. The sports world was aghast when KC hosted the All Star game and the fans booed Robinson Cano to a goose egg during the HR Derby because he led on like he would add Billy Butler to his team and then didn’t. WE were considered the bad guys for standing up for ourselves. Carl Cheffers experienced the city’s wrath earlier this and was left crying for his efforts. And again, though not quite as bad as due to most agreeing it was a terrible call, there was still some talk about the fans being mean and out of line.
And then we routinely see it on a much smaller scale here when fans of other teams come over and WE are the assholes because we push back when they start shitting all over our board. We’re just supposed to the uber friendly midwesterners and welcome their shittiness with a smile and a “Have a nice day.”
The truth of the matter is we can be super friendly, we can give you helpful hints and recommendations when you come into our city, we can invite you into our tailgates and fill you full of delicious food and tasty booze. BUT, if you want to be a douche at the game you’ll get nothing but a **** you. If you show up here uninvited and start trolling our little corner of the internet we WILL fire back. And then we’ll leave you with sloppy seconds as we **** your mothers before you do. You want a fan base you can walk all over, look elsewhere.
