Trent McDuffie reflects on the Kansas City Chiefs' evolving reputation as the NFL's current dominant force, likening them to the previous era's New England Patriots. With aspirations to secure a third consecutive Super Bowl title, they embrace their role as the league's antihero, stirring mixed feelings among fans. McDuffie's perspective emphasizes that success breeds disdain, as rival teams and fans grow resentful of their consistent victories and off-field prominence. This dynamic mirrors the complex relationship sports fandom has with both love and hate toward dominating teams.
Being the villain comes with its own profound respect. Nobody hates the team that isn't winning. You hate the team that's successful.
We hate our rivals. It's not just that the Chiefs win, it's that they've reached dynasty level on the field and their star players are ubiquitous off it.
