Announcement From SaveOurChiefs.com
 

SaveOurChiefs.com would like to inform our followers that out of respect to the Chiefs organization, coaches and most importantly the players, we have cancelled the Can Pioli Food Drive and airplane banner for tomorrow. Furthermore, we encourage fans to wear what they feel is appropriate to the game be it black, red, grey or whatever color you want to wear.

We ask that you do not carry any Fire Pioli signs into the stadium and just go to the game and be fan. Cheer for the players. Be respectful of them and what they go through on a day-to-day basis.

We feel that tomorrow's game is neither the proper place nor the proper time to continue these activities but rather tomorrow’s game should be a time for all fans to come together and help this team recover from a great tragedy.

While we are mired in a bad season with bad play and bad management, there are 52 guys on the field that just lost a friend. There are things WAY more important than football. Hug your loved ones and appreciate every breath you take. Life is too precious and way too short.

God Bless Chiefs Nation.

Thank you.

Good call guys

:clap:

Let me know if they don't make it happen I know most of them.

Prayers to the Chiefs family & fans.

This just sucks that this tragedy happened. Good job SOC to back down on this sad day. Nobody wins.

Prayers to Scott Pioli & Romeo Crennel I wouldn't want to be them right now.

Something Marty posted on the original sticky as well:

"We ask that you do not carry any Fire Pioli signs into the stadium and just go to the game and be fan. Cheer for the players. Be respectful of them and what they go through on a day-to-day basis."

Let's show that Kansas City is a respectable community with heart and good intent.

The right call. Good job.

The epitome of class. Bravo, gentlemen.

Just be fans at this point. This is a shock to all of us.

I applaud the SOC for making the right choice to cancel out of respect for what took place today.

I agree whole heartedly with the OP.

Tomorrow KC's Chiefs fans will be in the national spotlight. Time to do what we've always done, been good fans, support this team, put the season and the BS aside, and show our team that we love them.

I've never been prouder to be a Chiefs fan than when we played the NYG the weekend after 9-11 at Arrowhead. Tomorrow will be another day to show what we are made of.

Sounds good.

Go all out at the Colts game.

This is a good call. SOC remains a class act.

Good job, guys.

The leadership of the movement has made right decision after right decision up to this point; I had no doubts they would do the same here.

Amen.

Great call.

Class trumps all. Could something be brought to the stadium to help others on a day like this?

This. :thumb:

I would think they would cancel the game, but yeah, good call on this.

you guys made the right call.

Let's use some of that money to help the kid out please.

I'm sure the kid has plenty of help.

maybe the next banner could be something in support of the families involved?

That's true. I didn't think about it from that end but I am sure the players will take good care of the kid.

OH **** YEAH GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!!

stupid.

We could only hope for this... They asked to move the game but the NFL so far has said no.

Statement from the Kansas City Chiefs on Tomorrow’s Game vs. Carolina

Posted 9 minutes ago

PR Staff Kansas City Chiefs Public Relations Official Press Release Email @ChiefsPR

“After discussions between the league office, Head Coach Romeo Crennel and Chiefs team captains, the Chiefs advised the NFL that it will play tomorrow’s game vs. the Carolina Panthers at its originally scheduled time.”

--CHIEFS--

I will be attending my first game of the year tomorrow. Terrible timing, but I feel the need to come up for this one. Luckily, Barry has offered me a free ticket, so I just have to pay the $100 in gas and parking. Boss won't be happy, but family first. I love SOC, and everything being done, but I will be wearing red tomorrow. Life is more important than games.

once again, SOC, doing the right thing.

you guys can't be complimented enough.

thanks.

Are you wearing my coat?

:facepalm: I'm and idiot. Sent you a PM.

Good call. This just goes to show that Chiefs fans are without a doubt the best fans any team could hope for. Today, I'm proud to be a Chiefs fan :clap:

I hope the stadium is loaded . A sell out and the fans are bringing it for the players, just like the good old days. Show everyone what we're made of !

Good. It's the right thing to do.

I have not posted in quite some time but.....

THIS....

As much as we fans can show that we can unite together against management, tomorrow is a time to unite together FOR the team. Honor the players and stand behind them. It could be an even more powerful message for change than all of the cries for change.

:clap: GO CHIEFS!!! RIP Jovan and Kassandra Perkins. We'll do this right in memory of you.

Really good call..........................Joe

Class act gentlemen, class act.

Kudos, the right move

Now is time to support the players and forget the issues in the FO.

:clap:

this is the fan base I remember
 

This organization has made the right choice. I would hope Eric Winston would be notifed by personnel mail of this choice.:clap:

It's time to stop SOC all together. You want to save the Chiefs? Get out there and cheer them on. The message has been sent and if you continue, you will just make things worse. The organization, the fans, and the team need to heal as one. How in the hell can you assholes vote for the Chiefs to lose today?

Straight up class move. Right thing to do. Best to Chiefs nation on what has to be an incredibly difficult day.

I'm going to avoid getting into an argument out of respect for this thread. I feel terrible for pioli and rac emotionally and hope they can move on from a traumatic situation. But the next home game is plenty of time to heal. This is a terrible tragedy, but it doesn't change the original objective of soc which is to demand accountability. I feel bad for pioli, but what he went through is separate from what he has done in performance as a general manager.

good decision, thanks

Bub,
welcome to the planet. first, we're not assholes. two, I suggest you re-read everything. We've called off the dogs for today. We're going to evaluate how we go forward and in what capacity. So you can either understand or continue to name call. Got it Bub?

Marty

ya its a good call .. man up for the players .....

SOC should start up a scholarship fund for the little girl left without parents now because of the incident yesterday.

Players already doing that.

JFC You don't even understand the SOC movement.

I hate our GM and coach in the way they both have set the franchise back in their ineptitude.

I do however feel emotionally sorry for anyone that had to experience what they went through yesterday.

I am glad of the classy and easy call not to fly a banner.

But when I first saw a pic of Pioli looking up at the sky today at the game, I couldn't help but think, "Pioli's wondering about SOC"

Now is the time to push the front office right out the ****ing door...

I am not supporting millionaires anymore, what makes them so special or above everyone else?

I am not trying to be a dick, but at times like this, I can't help but think about the many kids who lose parents that weren't already millionaires. Financially, I hope she is already taken care of.

I have no idea how much money he left behind, and I really don't mean to be insensitive but wasn't he driving a Bentley?

Regardless, I think a good positive idea to come from this tragedy would be raising money for domestic abuse or mental illness.

Absolutely 100% correct sir.

Great post.

Do you mean because he was looking for a plane? We can't fly the banners that close to the start of the game. I would think he knows that. I also am pretty sure he has people checking here and knows we called stuff off.

No, I know they can't fly that close and I am sure he was just watching the fly over, it was just a caption that first comes to mind.

Got ya.

Maybe he is wondering

How can I piss 6 feet straight up in the air without getting wet?

ROFL

First class showing of respect. Good decision.

It's a good thing we don't have that Jerry World screen....Cassels passes would hit it

damn that banning was quick

I didn't see this until today but great decision SOC. Class all the way.
