Chiefs Fans Sign Petition to Keep Cassel Because He's Nice

Just days after a petition by Kansas City Chiefs fans pressured the Chiefs front office to release Larry Johnson before he broke the team all-time rushing yard record, they have started a new petition to prevent the Chiefs from benching Matt Cassel so he can avoid having the worst win-loss record in Chiefs history. Cassel has started his Chiefs career by going 1-7. The petition pleads for Chiefs management to keep Cassel as the team's starting so he can avoid being the losingest quarterback in team history.

"Cassel is a nice guy so he deserves to be our quarterback" said one fan who signed the petition. "LJ was a bum so I didn't want him to break the record but Cassel is such a good guy with a good heart. Out of pity for him, allow him to win some lucky games before benching him. We play the Raiders this week."

The Chiefs had no comment about the petition, although that might be because nobody wants to admit they're associated with the team. A tweet by a random fan pretending to be Cassel said he appreciates the support of the fans. Fantasy teams across the country who have Cassel as their starting quarterback are also signing the petition, requesting the Chiefs to start Cassel.
