Have we defined 'they' in this discussion yet?
Because if 'they' = the NFL fanbase writ large - I don't disagree with you. I don't have any independent recollection of what I thought when Brady got however many games he got for deflategate but '**** the Patriots' was pretty much my operating baseline. However many games he got, I'd have wanted it doubled.
That's why I say to embrace the black hat. The overwhelming majority of NFL fans are not Chiefs fans. And the Chiefs are the boogey man right now so they hate the Chiefs. And they pretty much hate us for LIKING the Chiefs. I can live with that. In fact, it's a hell of a lot more fun than me having to hate the Patriots.
Now if 'they' here equals the NFL....eh, I dunno. I'm not sure that's it. I don't think the NFL has any interest in batting back the Chiefs and their possibility of a 3-peat. That's bad business. Because ultimately that's going to be a HUGE part of the post-season and marketing. Hell, I think they'd be happy to see the Chiefs start 14-0. A 'good (the rest of the league) vs. evil (Chiefs)' scenario is EASY to sell. And sell it they would.
No, I think it's one of two things. A) Clark is happy to eat shit so we get made an example of too many times. Either he's just too earnest or he gets some benefits (as I suggested, head of the finance committee) that we simply don't know about. Or B) The league's just erratic as ****. And when the wheel spins round, sometimes it lands on us to eat the biscuit.

I have 100% been talking about the fans this entire time, so contrary to what Virus thought based on your post, we agree.
