Appreciation for "the movement"
 

Sorry not a poop thread.

I know a lot of people have expressed their appreciation to those responsible for the movement in motion by us fans in the stickys and that's awesome, but a lot of that gets buried. Some folks will see this as a waste of bandwidth because of that, which is fair, but imo what has been done and continues to be done moving forward is worth a place to just say thanks.

pr_capone started it all and continues as the driving force. I'm not sure he even knew the impact his actions were going to have in the beginning.

Marty Mac Ver 2.0 is taking the ball and running.

GoChiefs has been working on a video that is said to be epic (with the help of others I believe)

As a Chiefs fan who isn't local to the KC area anymore but is just as sick and tired of the state of the team over the last several years it's inspiring to see the best fans on earth not only say enough is enough, but actually put their actions and efforts where their mouth is (and money).This may end up not only being the greatest fan movement of all time but may actually help bring change in the end.

I don't have the extra funds to help right now but seeing the banner, the media coverage, the action taking place is just as satisfying to me as it is to you all who are donating and working to make this cause happen.

So thank you for taking it upon yourselves to make a difference. All of us "true Chiefs fans" are following along and cheering it on. It's great to see. Those who don't get it are part of the problem.

I know I left people out so feel free to name names. All this effort deserves our thanks, appreciation and praise.

Make a differance!

AND a point!

(p.s.) we all know how this started

Proud to say i was here when it all started.
Kudos to pr_capone, Marty Mac and GoChiefs and everyone else involved.

Let's not pat ourselves on the back just yet. Everyone involved with SOC has done a great job so far, but there's work left to do. Keep at it!

yeah, we gotta get Pioli kicked out of KC.

Kind of said that. Appreciating someones effort often leads to greater effort... not that they need it.

I actually thought people would want to respond to this.

LMAO

I can confirm the video is amazing but it's a little bit bigger than that. A Nashville based Chiefs fan wrote a song and performs it, Clay put his video twist on it which is pure genius but this is the artist's baby. Hope to have it up tomorrow if everything goes smoothly tonight.

I'm sorry if I missed it in the stickys, but what will the video be used for? Just posted here? Going out other places?

It's a SOC anthem. Local media is involved. It's done well. Professional singer, professional writer, amateur/stupid co-writer, professionally produced, amateur/stupid co-produced, and some other stuff. Hopefully it will blow up. Clay did a really nice job putting his twist on it. I wish I could show it now but the current video is using the rough cut and isn't ready. We don't want that one going viral. Heh.

Cool. You don't need to keep to keep undermining yourself though. We all appreciate your work and recognize it.

Nah - I'm not musically talented necessarily. I was only hanging out because there were a couple of elements I wanted done my way. But I don't have any idea what I'm doing.

Not a chiefs fan myself but am incredibly impressed by the SOC movement.

I know you think I'm kissing your ass but my earlier point stands. We may have had our differences before but you know why. You don't give yourself any credit. That's cool. It's recognized anyway.

A bunch of fans who are tired of it can do something when organized. That's what this thread was about... to recognize and thank them.

I don't think we've had any differences. I didn't really do anything except put some people together on this thing. I'm good at that. I did help write. I was good at that too, I think. But I think the artist deserves most of the credit on this one. I should probably shut up and let the stupid video come out. If it sucks I just look stupid.

I'm pulling for you guys to get this done. As long as Pioli doesn't get hired if we fire Tannenbaum. A bit of karma for the Herm trade

gotta love the planet!!!

what can i do? (well, besides leaving my own movement in a few minutes :) )

Hahahahahaha - that would be perfect. Circle of nepotism. A pox on your team... Seriously though, thanks for being cool. We don't have any other cool Jets fans here.

Well that's nice lol. Water under the bridge.

Why wouldn't I be cool. Only team with a longer superbowl drought lol

Because most fans of other teams don't come here to be cool. It's just a thing we're used to. There are some that do and are active members/contributors but that isn't the rule.

No rival fan can put us in our place like we can though.

The recognition of decades of suffering has blown up to proportions i never could have hoped for, the major player media outlets have FINALLY started talking about this.

Thanks to everyone, KC is a consistently voiceless doormat no longer... Win or Die.

I'll give you that. Sometimes this place becomes comedy gold just watching other people try to shit talk you guys

I was just kidding anyway. We have one other cool Jets fan. Whatisname...

This is a fan base truly sick of the shit we've put up with. As you've probably noticed we're done putting up with it. Any rival team fan who thinks they can show up here and make us feel bad is sadly mistaken. Their hate has nothing on us. Hence my thread to thank those who are making this uprising happen.

Want to talk shit on the Chiefs? Join the effort then.

True dat, true dat!

I'm tired so I don't know if you thought I meant my previous post as put down?

No not at all.

The only thing I can make fun of your team for is Tebow.

Sorry, been a long day. I've spread word of Pioli's fail in all my college classes that at each pickup games a bad pass is responded with a chorus of matt cassell

Thanks to all involved with this. Make it first class.

So who are you fan of and how did you end up here? I am not attacking here just curious.

At this point I encourage you to have another beer so you can make less sense.

:D

ROFL

See the Jets logo?

Hey, I'm happy to help. This movement is unreal.

#barryisjealous

After the Chiefs traded for Herm some fans came over and tried to explain what he was like. Many were jerks and got banned, some weren't and gave up. I stayed and watched to watch the chiefs burn but after a while began to like this place, must be brain damage I think. Because of this place I want the chiefs to genuinely do well. I lurked until the idiocy of BlackBob was so much I had to post and haven't looked back

There are teams who have been worse than us but I challenge any of them to have as passionate a fanbase. KC fans deserve better... just like the banner said.

You guys, the founders of this movement, are the reason why I decided to quit being a lurker. You are the reason why I decided to donate my hard earned money to people I don't know and will probably never meet. It's very, very rare to find individuals on the Internet that actually put their money where their mouth is. Especially on the Internet. Most people spend their time behind an anonymous name, saying and doing things they would never do in real life. Your passion, effort, dedication and personal time being spent to try to make a meaningful change to something that most other people can only complain about, means the world to me. I'm a 47 year old long time season ticket holder that has finally found an avenue to to vent my frustrations in a way that I know will have some meaning. Hopefully someday I can watch the team that I've grown to expect to disappoint me, actually make me proud. If that day ever comes, it will be in part because of what you guys started here.
Whether you want to hear it or not.......
Thank You!

I'll drink to this thread... Oh, and I am!!!:thumb::thumb:

pr_capone is busy ignoring praise like real leaders do but he started all this.

Cool post. I do my thing for selfish reasons but I'm glad there are plenty of other benefactors like yourself out there.

So you weren't one of the ones that came over here to pat us on the head and patronize us?

That was one of the darkest periods in the history of this board.

The only thing worse than opposing fans coming here and acting like overtly-obnoxious jerks is opposing fans coming here and acting like they feel sorry for us while rubbing our noses in our misfortune.

You don't have to donate to the cause to be part of it. Its your facebook posts, your tweets, the movement is YOU. Its your voice, its your spirit.

Appreciate the movement. Appreciate yourself. Appreciate that you are standing up for something you believe in, even if it might not mean as much to other fans, other people, other worlds.

Keep the pressure on, until the seed gives birth to the fruit of decades of frustration.

What if you don't facebook or tweet?

No. I thought about it but decided against it. Mainly because the Pats fans did the same to us after getting Mangini. You are completely correct in saying that is the worst way to be treated. I may have said a thing or two but I never tried to rub in peoples faces.

Then you post appreciation posts and take potshots at Pioli on a message board. All of these things are part of it.

OK... That's what I have then. CP is my social media. The others can suck me.

Then how the hell do you know what your kids are doing? Impossible!

Because I talk to her every day?

Good post! I was thinking of doing something similar after I read a couple anti-Pioli articles on ESPN today. Some Chiefs fans--and some on CP in particular--really took matters into their own hands and made a huge difference in terms of the future of this franchise, and we all owe you guys a ton of thanks. The sooner our Chiefs move beyond this Pioli/Cassel disaster, the sooner we can begin to move forward, and I feel like people like pr capone and others really made an impact in causing that to happen sooner than it would have if everyone would have just sat quietly.

Thanks guys. Thanks for the positive impact you've had on the Chiefs.

I've never been more proud to be sort-of associated with people I don't know doing things I didn't think could be done. As soon as I stop attempting to type I'm going to sit here and applaud. Stand, even.

This is better than my OP.

Have you thought about checking your PM's lately?

Post 42 started the thought process about doing something about it...

Funny how everybody wants credit for it. We ALL get credit. It's a team effort. We're all winning.

it needed to be done 10+ years ago .....

Nothing new in the last few hours. I deleted earlier today because I was nearly full.

Hey, that actually works. Cassel was on the bench ten years ago, and Pioli wasn't the Chiefs' GM.
