It just shows another level of commitment. If the goal is to save OUR Chiefs then it's fans claiming ownership. His point was that if we can raise cash to fly banners and such then that money is wiser spent on pooling and making the offer to Hunt.

I think Hunt would decline, but the statement that it makes is huge. And image the headlines.

Hmmm, $600 to fly a banner.

2 million or so to buy out Pioli's contract for one year.

Clark can wipe his ass with $100 dollar bills if he wanted. The money generated by SOC is but a small pimple on the giant ass of Arrowhead and the Kansas City Chiefs.

And I'm sure that all successful NFL GM's have rebuilt their organizations by meeting with fringe fan groups and letting them dictate how to run the team.

Your missing the point. Imagine this:

SaveOurChiefs pledges to Clark Hunt to raise $1 Million to buyout Pioli's contract.

Result possibility #1: Clark Declines (probably), and the money never has to be raised. But oh, the headlines and media coverage!

Result Possibility #2: Clark accepts. Huge media exposure to raise. Need 50,000 fans to donate $20 each. Less than parking at the game. Who wouldn't want in on that?

My guess is that at this point you'd come up about 48,500 fans short.
