Right or wrong, perception of downtrodden sports fans in Kansas City has taken hit this year

Published November 20, 2014

Sports fans in Kansas City are back in the national spotlight.

Once again, it's a glaring one.

The latest flashpoint occurred Sunday, when Chiefs offensive lineman Eric Winston laid into a small percentage of Chiefs fans who cheered when struggling quarterback Matt Cassel suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of a 9-6 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Winston called the cheering fans "sickening," and his locker-room diatribe went viral, picked up by everyone from ESPN to "Good Morning America." It's left the city with a black eye, and has served as the impetus for a discussion in what is considered uncouth behavior.
