Fans cheer injury, players disappointed
On Oct. 9, angry Houston Texans fans yelled obscenities at Texans quarterback Matt Schaub's house
after Schaub threw his fourth pick-six in four consecutive games. But Houston fans didn't stop there.
Schaub injured his ankle after being sacked by St. Louis Rams defensive lineen Chris Long. Schaub did not return to play and the Texans lost their fourth straight game to the Rams 38-13. The Houston fan base's response to Schaub's inability to play because of his hurt ankle was positive — they cheered at his injury.
Before Schaub was hurt, the Texans were having a lot of team problems and losing 31-6. The Texans had lost two fumbles and Schaub threw for just 186 yards with no touchdowns and no interception.
Many feel that the Texans fans who cheered when Schaub appeared to be hurt showed no sportsmanship and were classless, and I agree. Duane Brown, who protects Schaub's blind side, also agrees.
"For the fans that cheered when he got hurt, that's disgusting," Brown said. "You can feel how you want about him as a

player, but this is his livelihood and how he provides for his family. When a man goes down and he is not able to get up, you don't know what is wrong with him at that point; that could be the last play of his career and for you to applaud at that ... I have no words for that."
The only person that should have been excited on the play is defensive end Chris Long, because the sack on Schaub is just his second sack of the season.
But he, too, wasn't happy about the fans cheering. After the game, Long tweeted his feelings about the Houston fans and his displeasure with himself for celebrating.
"If you were at Reliant Stadium and cheered Matt's injury, you are a poor representation of your fan base and a bad example to young fans." Long tweeted. "If I had known Matt was hurt I wouldn't have even celebrated the play. Wishing him a speedy recovery."
team is classless, but nothing new.
Last season, the then 1-4 Kansas City
Chiefs cheered when ex-Chiefs' quarterback Matt Cassel was injured during a 9-6 loss against the Baltimore Ravens.
Cassel was having a poor performance and throwing for only 96 vards.
Fans being happy for an injury to their
Ex-Chief Eric Winston made a comment after the Chiefs' loss to the Ravens about how the Chiefs fans commended Cassel getting hurt.
"But when you cheer, when you cheer somebody getting knocked out, I don't care who it is, and it just so happened to be Matt Cassel — it's sickening," Winston said after the 2012 Week 5 loss. "Hey, if he's not the best quarterback then he's not the best quarterback and that's OK. But he's a person. And he got knocked out in a game and we have 70,000 people cheering that he got knocked out?"
The Texans don't want to take the same route as the 2012-13 Chiefs, but the story is looking very similar.
Last season, the Chiefs had chronic quarterback woes, a pro-bowl running back and four pro-bowl defenders, but still ended
the season 2-14.
Sound similar? Texans running back Arian Foster is the league's second leading rusher. The Texans defense is led by 2012 NFL defensive player of the year. Schaub is struggling this year as well.
The Texans have currently lost four consecutive games and will have to continue the season without Matt Schaub. Schaub's backup, third year quarterback T.J. Yates, threw two interceptions in the absence of Schaub.
The team is better with Schaub as their starting quarterback, but the Texans fans would disagree.

Kansas takes loss in stride, despite strong performances
The Kansas swim team fell short against the U.S. Air Force Academy in the first meet of the season. The Air Force was victorious over the Jayhawks with 154 to 146.
The Jayhawks traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo., for the meet on Saturday, Oct. 12, at the U.S. Air Force Academy Natatorium. It was the first official meet of the season and the first away test for the young Jayhawk team that
