When you're an NFL fan, you learn quite a few things just from watching the game. You'll see legends like Brett Farve rise to the top, and then later begin to fade away. You can see a team like the New England Patriots create a dynasty and win multiple superbowls, you'll see players rise against adversity to quiet the critics like Kurt Warner, and Drew Brees. Then you may see things that may shock you, or disturb you. when you see someone who has been the center of a franchise like Peyton Manning get released from his team. Or when a player takes a head injury, shortening their careers. But if you were watching the Chiefs game on mute, you would fail to hear the fans cheering when Cassel was unable to get back up under his own feet. Can you believe that?
The Chiefs are in a rut, but that is more than a common sight for the team. The Chiefs have a 1-4 record, and Matt Cassel is under-performing for the team. So far, he has thrown for 5 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. Matt before that injury against the Ravens had thrown 2 interceptions. Obviously, if you are a fan of the Chiefs, you wouldn't be too thrilled with his performance. But does that justify you to cheer when Matt was unable to stand after a hit to the head? Is there ever a situation where you can cheer for an injury?
As a fan myself, I can't lie and say I never wished an injury on a player to get them out of the game. It is the emotion of the game, you see this player playing either too good, or not good enough and you say "I wish something will take him out of this game." But never have I actually cheered when that same player goes down with an injury. For instance, I hate Tom Brady, I hate Tom Brady for the same reason why most fans hate Tom Brady. He is not playing for my team, and when he is playing against my team, he tends to play well...Too well. However, when Tom Brady was injured and lost an entire season to a ligament injury I didn't cheer, it made me feel guilty. The man had to sit at home with his smug look with his hot supermodel wife and his millions of dollars. He may be playing just fine now, but later down the line the hits he has taken and those injuries are going to come back to not only haunt Brady, but anyone who has played the game at the level Brady has. Cassel included.
What say you Wrestlezone? Do you cheer when an athlete suffers an injury in a game? Do you condone the fans who have cheered for Matt's injury? If you were a Chiefs fan, would you have cheered for Matt as he was unable to remember where he was?
