Is it Better to be a Stupid Bills Fan or a Smart Chiefs Fan?

This was an exercise in logic first postulated back about 20 years ago, albeit under the title  of "Stupid Bills fan or Smart Cheaties fan."  The times and names have changed but the principle remains pretty much the same.  We all learned a lot about motivations and thought processes at the time and indeed we saw some telling real world mindsets based on the answer.   As I will make clear later this is very much a politics thread so do not move it. 

 

So tell us, would you rather be a stupid Bills fan or a smart Chiefs fan, and why? These are your only two options, you must pick a position and tell us why.

It's best to just have a favorite team and don't let it define you as a person.  For the sake of your question, I'll be a stupid Bills fan.  Why?  Because I don't care about what other people think.  All of my haters, as well as the Bills' haters are losers and what they say doesn't bother me. :niterider:

Sorry ICWeiner we are not discussing curling here.  Please try to stay on subject.

Comparing this idiocy to the Disney remakes actually IS on subject.  Those movies make pointless changes to the originals that render the live-action versions at best worse than the orignals and at worst total bastardizations that ruin them thematically. Take Mulan for example again.  The addition of a whole magical subplot TRASHES the original's thesis, that Mulan was spectacular because of her courage and her strategic creativity.  If the reason she's able to fight back against the Huns is because she's got mystical import then it's a totally different movie. 

That's what you've done by changing this to Bills vs Chiefs.  There's no downside to picking the Chiefs in this hypothetical.  The downside of picking the Patriots amidst Spygate was you're picking intellect over integrity.  You've neutered the choice.  It's an explicitly worse thread than the original because you've removed context and conflict.
