Will the Kansas City Chiefs Have More Haters than the Dallas Cowboys?

So, the Kansas City Chiefs have won yet another Super Bowl. That makes back-to-back Super Bowl trophies, and three trophies in the past five years! Very impressive, no doubt, but will this bring on the haters? Is it possible that the Chiefs become a more hated team than my beloved Dallas Cowboys in the 2024-2025 season?
 
When the Chiefs won their Super Bowl vs the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 54 (2020), everybody was perfectly fine with that. The Chiefs had a calm and cool, seemingly humble quarterback, in Patrick Mahomes, and the franchise was on a Super Bowl draught of 50 YEARS! How can you not root for a team that has not won a Super Bowl in 50 years? Especially when they are playing a team like the 49ers that has FIVE Super Bowl trophies, already. Fans, in general, were more than pleased to see the Chiefs win this game.
 
Last year, in Super Bowl 57 vs the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chiefs won their second Super Bowl in four seasons. You would think winning two Super Bowls in such a short time may bring on some haters, but the team they beat presumably even had even more haters. Eagles’ fans are often referred to as the most obnoxious and unlikable fans in the NFL. On top of that, their head coach, Nick Sirianni, cruised through the season with a very cocky and arrogant attitude, filled with sarcastic smiles and gestures on the sidelines and post-game interviews, which caused Eagle haters to hate the Eagles even more! Furthermore, many fans were getting frustrated with Philadelphia’s rugby-type “Tush Push” play that seemed be unstoppable on short yardage plays. Some even said the play should be illegal. The Eagles had more than their average share of enemies in the 2022-2023 season, so the average NFL fan did not have too much of a problem seeing the Chiefs win their second Super Bowl in a 4-year span.
 
Fast forward to the 2023-2024 season, and Super Bowl 58! As we all know, they won this game against the 49ers to make it a successful back-to-back championship campaign. But were the cheers for the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58 as loud as they were in Super Bowl 54 and Super Bowl 57? I think many of us agree they were not. Even with numerous “Swifties” joining the Chief’s bandwagon because of Taylor Swift’s romance with Travis Kelce, the haters seemed to be steadily growing.
 
As the Chiefs enter the new season, there are many things that will ignite the haters:
 
-1. They won three Super Bowls in five years. Enough is enough. Everybody gets sick of teams that win too much! Just ask the Dallas Cowboys of the early/mid 90’s or the New York Yankees of the late 90’s.
 
-2. Patrick Mahomes: Overall, he seems very likeable, however, he did have one big blemish during the regular season. He showed a side we had never seen before. In the infamous “offensive offsides” game where their game-winning touchdown was reversed by a penalty, Mahomes made a clown of himself. He looked like nothing more than a sore loser as the Chiefs wound up losing this game against the Buffalo Bills. Sure, it was a ticky tack call, but the video footage clearly shows that the wide receiver was lined up an entire FOOT offsides. Not inches. A FOOT! He shouted at the referees and then doubled down in the post-game press conference by continuing to cry about a call that was CLEARLY correct. He looked like a spoiled brat who didn’t get his way. Not many people were taking his side on this one. Ever since this game, many have looked at Mahomes just a bit differently.
 
-3. Travis Kelce: Sure, we all love a football player with passion, but he seemed to get more and more over the top as the season went along. Perhaps he was trying to show off for his new girlfriend and the Swifties? I’m not sure, but his loud antics and numerous moments of “trying too hard to be exciting” have become old among non-Chiefs fan. To make matters worse, he was seen by all viewers of the Super Bowl when he blatantly bumped his own head coach, Andy Reid, because he was upset he was not on the field during one of the offensive plays. It was 100% immature and disrespectful. He looked like a huge ass by doing this. He looked like an even huger ass by not immediately apologizing for it. In the post-game interviews, he laughed it off and basically stated he was just showing his passion for the game. Yeah, ok, Travis. You were an idiot. That bump on his head coach was likely the final dagger for anybody on the fence about liking/disliking Kelce.
 
-4. Taylor Swift: You really cannot blame Taylor for doing anything wrong. She is simply going to the games to support her boyfriend. As innocent as she may be, though, many long-time NFL fans have grown tired of seeing her face displayed on the cameras over and over and over again. They came to watch FOOTBALL. They are more interested in watching the game. They have no interest in watching a pop star celebrity cheering in an expensive press box every week. They just want to watch football and have grown tired of hearing about the Swift-Kelce romance during games.
 
So, we just covered four things that could cause the haters to revolt against the Kansas City Chiefs in the upcoming season. Will the hate be higher than the current hate displayed for the Dallas Cowboys? I mean, come on, do the Cowboys have any players that are very unlikable? Dak Prescott is as laid back and chill as they come (even when he throws interceptions). There is a bit of cockiness among CeeDee Lamb and Micah Parsons, but they seem pretty tame and calm in comparison to Kelce.
 
Although, there is still this guy named JERRY JONES, probably one of the most unlikable owners in the NFL. Heck, he is even disliked by many Cowboys fans!
 
So here is the million-dollar question. If the Dallas Cowboys make next year’s Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, then who will the non-Cowboys and non-Chiefs fans be rooting for? Who will they will be hating on more??
 
 
. . . yeah . . . I know . . . Dallas will probably still have more haters, but, hey, crazier things could happen!
