Arrowhead Stadium: home of the…Chiefs?

Posted on: 11:38 pm, October 19, 2013, by Gia Vang


KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A true sea of red fan knows how the national anthem at Arrowhead Stadium ends, with the home of the “Chiefs,” not “brave.”
But this Chiefs tradition dating back to the 90′s, could be going back to what it originally is if a Facebook group called “Arrowhead, Home of The Brave,” has anything to do with it.

“We just felt that the times like they are now, things have changed since 9/11 and ‘brave’ extends past our military and past our first responders,” John, a page administrator, said.

“John” wants to remain anonymous because he said this isn’t about him. He said it’s about the brave people in this country today, not just military and first responders, but those fighting other tremendous causes.

“I just know that me and some of my friends, we feel good to get this off our chest and it’s creating some good discussion online,” John said.

Fans are chiming in on the Facebook page. One person writing, “Just sing brave … that’s the way it was written.” Others writing, “I don’t see the harm in yelling “chiefs” … it’s something that enhances the game day experience …”
Fans Fox 4 spoke to on the streets were split also.

“I don’t agree with it. I think it’s a Chiefs tradition. I think it should stay that way,” Sean Olson said.

“I don’t think it’s any disrespect to the service people. It’s just, I think it’s more to help kick start the football game for the Chiefs fans,” Skip Zey, a Chiefs fan said.

But John said one of the problems for him, is the song is kick starting games at other venues like Kauffman and Sporting Park. John said it waters down the meaning and others think, it is time to make this move. Johnna Schernikau said she used to say “chiefs” but not anymore. Why?

“Age, maybe just getting older and you just kind of appreciate what your service people do for you,” Schernikau said.

Arrowhead, Home of The Brave has gotten more than 600 likes on Facebook. John said they started the page last Sunday. He said he knows he probably won’t change the minds of 80,000 fans, but he is writing a letter to the Chiefs organization next week, anyway.

[Fairplay]

Home of the CHIEFS!!!!

[Pablo]

Fuck this group.

[Chiefspants]

Good. I hope the group is successful, it's an embarrassing tradition.

[Rasputin]

Home of the CHUEFS

[In58men]

Good. I hope the group is successful, it's an embarrassing tradition.

Shut the fuck up

[Chiefspants]

Shut the fuck up

Nah

[SAUTO]

what is this group or the chiefs going to do about it?

[Bugeater]

OMG! 600 likes! That'll show those evil Chiefs fans.

[vailpass]

How, exactly, could they stop it?

[WeathermanKumke]

Nothing will change. Arrowhead will be loud and proud.

[mdchiefsfan]

Me, being a veteran, see no harm in saying Chiefs. People just being uppity for no reason at all.

[KChiefs1]

They can suck it!

Rigged American ideas. I just love them.

[mdchiefsfan]

Exactly. It made me laugh that he is writing a letter to the Chiefs, like they can stop it.

[BlackHelicopters]

Cheufs

[ILChief]

Those brave people fought for our right to say chiefs instead of brave

[Phobia]

Yeah - I understand their point but I don't care. I'm not offended nor am I a huge fan of the tradition. Call me a fence-rider. It's a small issue, not worth getting worked up over either way. It's a candy wrapper in a stairwell.

[Frazod]

Stay home if you don't like it, motherfuckers.

[threebag]

Fuck that it will always be the HOME OF THE CHIEFS.

[Bugeater]

Good. I hope the group is successful, it's an embarrassing tradition.
You're a perfect example of the result of the pussification of America.

[LoneWolf]

Good. I hope the group is successful, it's an embarrassing tradition.

Who, in your opinion, is embarrassed by the saying of "Chiefs" at the end if a song?

[lewdog]

So how would they enforce this? You sure can't muffle the voices of 70k. I'd still say it even if they "prohibited" it.

[DaFace]

I understand why people don't like it. I also understand that they can live with it. That tradition isn't going to change.

[Psyko Tek]

fuck them
'nuff said

[Chiefspants]

You're a perfect example of the result of the pussification of America.

I will wear this like a badge of honor.

[DaFace]

Yup.

[displacedinMN]

With all that is wrong in this world, you pick this fight


um....Good luck.

I've also sang it at the Edward jones done and LP Field

Didnt some broad try this last year? This isnt meant to offend anyone its a pride thing for us.

Arrowhead Stadium: home of the…Chiefs?

Posted on: 11:38 pm, October 19, 2013, by Gia Vang


“John” wants to remain anonymous because he realizes he speaks for only .03% of the fans.

FTKCSP.

[DaFace]

Pussification as a used term began on the KC Star Board. RIP

Yeah, no. It's been around long before that.

[lewdog]

John's a huge pussy.

[Bugeater]

I will wear this like a badge of honor.
You and Simplicity would make a great couple.

[TribalElder]

Die in a fire you pc faggots

[Frazod]

Kind of reminds me of that cunt from Topeka that hated SOC.

[jspchief]

Good luck with that.

I'm sure he can barely hear it from the club level leather couch where he drinks his chardonnay

[Bob Dole]

I've also sang it at the Edward jones done and LP Field

We did it loud enough in Nashville that the players and Coach Reid mentioned it.

[mdchiefsfan]

John's a huge pussy.

That's why he wanted to remain anonymous.

[lewdog]

If John doesn't like it, he doesn't have to say it. The rest of those who still choose to chant it can surely make up for his pussy voice not doing it.

[Shogun]

Much like the idiots knocking over a rock at that national park. Dont care either way.

[-King-]

“John” wants to remain anonymous because he said this isn’t about him.

Riiiiiiiiight. LMAO


Pussy.

[NewChief]

I like the tradition, personally and get chills every time I'm at Arrowhead and that rings out.

I do agree that it needs to go at Sporting Park and Kauffman. It doesn't make sense to be all "Chiefs" when you're at a Sporting match or Royals game.

[ILChief]

We did it loud enough in Nashville that the players and Coach Reid mentioned it.

Yeah it was awesome. It St. Louis they tried to rush through that part of the anthem but it was still loud as heck

[Chiefspants]

FYP

Yes, More! These are like vitamins to me.

[SPATCH]

I like the tradition, personally and get chills every time I'm at Arrowhead and that rings out.



Goosebumps, man. Every single time.

[mdchiefsfan]

This is the same type of thing done in a lot of stadiums. Camden Yards screams O during Oh say, can you see. No biggie.

[Chiefspants]

You and Simplicity would make a great couple.

It's a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart

[lewdog]

Make sure the wife, children and "john" do not attend games. Arrowhead is not a place for them, it's too dangerous and disrespectful.

[DaFace]

I like the tradition, personally and get chills every time I'm at Arrowhead and that rings out.

I do agree that it needs to go at Sporting Park and Kauffman. It doesn't make sense to be all "Chiefs" when you're at a Sporting match or Royals game.

Yeah, agree with all that. I do think it's a tradition that does a nice job of letting opposing teams and fans know that this isn't just any stadium. I'd imagine that's pretty jarring for someone who's never played in Arrowhead before.

Also pumps the crowd up.

[Bowser]

Is this Barry? SOC isn't prominent these days, so he needs something new to bitch about?

[LoneWolf]

It's a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart

Hey, Shakespeare, sucketh thy cock.

[Bwana]

Useless group of Nancys.

Home of the CHIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFS!

[jspchief]

Is this Barry? SOC isn't prominent these days, so he needs something new to bitch about?

Funny because that's the first thing that crossed my mind.

[Deberg_1990]

I don't agree with it, I don't say it when I'm there.......but I'm not gonna try to stop anyone else from doing it.

[lewdog]

Take some extra tampons to the game today, "John." You seem to have started your cycle early and I'm predicting a heavy flow this month.

[DaneMcCloud]

Yeah, agree with all that. I do think it's a tradition that does a nice job of letting opposing teams and fans know that this isn't just any stadium. I'd imagine that's pretty jarring for someone who's never played in Arrowhead before.

Also pumps the crowd up.

I think it's fun and cool at Arrowhead.

I think it's mindless and dumb at other sporting events (Sporting, KU, etc.).

[Chiefspants]

Honestly, if we'd just replace this and the tomahawk chant with the edgy chant from Seven Nation Army. Going to Arrowhead would be a cooler and less dated experience.

[ILChief]

I think it's fun and cool at Arrowhead.

I think it's mindless and dumb at other sporting events (Sporting, KU, etc.).

I think it's cool at chiefs away games to show there are a lot of fans there, but yeah at other events it is corny

[DaFace]

I think it's fun and cool at Arrowhead.

I think it's mindless and dumb at other sporting events (Sporting, KU, etc.).

Yeah, that seems silly. What do you think about Chiefs road games? I kind of like it there just to let the team know they've got supporters in the crowd, but it does seem a bit insensitive in those situations.

[Bowser]

Funny because that's the first thing that crossed my mind.

Yep. I almost read the quotes in his meth addled voice in my head.

[R8RFAN]

Altering the National Anthem is no different than painting the flag green...

Now if they said Home of the Brave "AND THE CHIEFS" it would be fine

[ILChief]

Altering the National Anthem is no different than painting the flag green...

Now if they said Home of the Brave "AND THE CHIEFS" it would be fine

That would still be altering it

[DaneMcCloud]

I think it's cool at chiefs away games to show there are a lot of fans there, but yeah at other events it is corny

I've said it (along with thousands of Chiefs fans) at San Diego games and even in New York at the Meadowlands.

I had a few people in San Diego that were Chiefs fans (more Gonzalez fans, but whatever) ask what the crowd was saying.

[mdchiefsfan]

Yep. I almost read the quotes in his meth addled voice in my head.

LMAO

[fan4ever]

In 2002 I made my very first trip to Arrowhead from Arizona with a Chiefs buddy and two Cardinal fans who were relatives of mine. I was totally unaware of the tradition and when that "Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeefs" resonated through the stadium I got goosebumps...thought it was awesome and it kind of stunned my Cardinal pals...one took offense to it...thought it was disrespectful...but then again, he's quite the douche.

[R8RFAN]

That would still be altering it

The songs over

and the home of the brave pause pause pause AND THE CHIEFS!!!

[DaneMcCloud]

Yeah, that seems silly. What do you think about Chiefs road games? I kind of like it there just to let the team know they've got supporters in the crowd, but it does seem a bit insensitive in those situations.

Oh yeah, I've said it on other stadiums. It's more of an intimidation factor, especially under Vermeil in San Diego.

I swear, there were more Chiefs fans at Qualcomm during that era than Chiefs fans. It was LOUD!

[Bowser]

Altering the National Anthem is no different than painting the flag green...

Now if they said Home of the Brave "AND THE CHIEFS" it would be fine

I respect this sentiment, but for those that feel this way just don't attend games at Arrowhead. Problem solved.

[DaneMcCloud]

Is this Barry? SOC isn't prominent these days, so he needs something new to bitch about?

Funny because that's the first thing that crossed my mind.

It's not Barry.

[loochy]

fags

[R8RFAN]

So flag burning is ok with you as long as they don't do it in your yard then right?

[Bob Dole]

Yeah, that seems silly. What do you think about Chiefs road games? I kind of like it there just to let the team know they've got supporters in the crowd, but it does seem a bit insensitive in those situations.

Titans fan next to Bob Dole in Trashville thought it was pretty cool, actually.

We're going from changing the last word in a show of solidarity to flag burning being equal?

ROFL

Keep trolling man. Keep trolling.....

The songs over

and the home of the brave pause pause pause AND THE CHIEFS!!!

What are your thoughts on the art of throwing batteries?

[Bowser]

BECAUSE THE TWO ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AND SHIT

[lewdog]

What are your thoughts on the art of throwing batteries?

If it's John Rocker, I see no problem.

[R8RFAN]

Depends on who you are throwing them at....

Fans desecrating the national anthem would be cool with me but only if the throws were aimed at their eyes

[DaFace]

ROFL...you're fucking ridiculous sometimes.

Pretty Close actually..

Go argue with a Vet about the issue, see what happens

Isn't it illegal to burn the flag?

I agree so many of the songs at Arrowhead are dated and has an old feel to it IMO.

I don't think it is everywhere but it will probably get a mans ass whipped really bad most places.

I can't say I disagree with his sentiment but I think it's a hopeless cause. But like I said earlier, it would be nice if people didn't use the chant at unrelated sporting events because it takes something slightly disrespectful and becomes very disrespectful, IMO.

You can tell through his words that he's not a douchebag and is choosing his words very carefully. While I agree that it shouldn't be used elsewhere, I don't get worked up about things out of my control. This is out of everybody's control, hence it's a useless effort.

Nothing intimidated the Kansas State Wildcats more than hearing the Chiefs were present at Allen Fieldhouse.

I've been friends with him since he was a teenager, we're Facebook friends and we talk a few times a year. A nicer and more grounded guy could you not meet. He's a gigantic Chiefs fan.

But, I'm afraid this won't end well for him. There's already been some nasty things said on his Facebook page in which people are questioning his "fandom", which is ridiculously out of place.

I have several friends who are vocally against saying Chiefs in place of Brave. It's a noble effort but all in vain.

[ChiefAshhole20]

I've only been to Arrowhead once in my life, and the "CHIEFS" yell during the anthem was one of the most memorable parts of my trip. Keep it, it's an unique experience that only happens in one part of the country, people's fucking American ideals aren't being trashed over a tradition at a sport event.

[ClearmontChief]

I'm a 20-year retired Veteran. I fought and defended for my and your right to scream "CHIEFS" at the top of our lungs and do every game. I have absolutely NO problem with the tradition, its cool, and unifying. Love it!

...and, I'm as proud of a Veteran as you'll find.

So, phuckn' tired of all the PC folks. This is our tradition, don't like, stay home.

And it's still HOME OF THE 7-0 CHIEFS!!!

Some douche was just on the 810 WHB post game show complaining about the commercial the Chiefs have that actually points out the unique nature of the anthem at Arrowhead. Colonel Clink agreed with the caller and JackSmack made him the " Caller of the Day". Right after that they went to break and they played a Chiefs commercial celebrating the Tomahawk Chop.... Classic....

[bunger]

There is nothing this will change.
It's Arrowhead,has been,always will be.
Chiefs are the residing team there.
If this "movement" thinks it can change that,they need to find another movement,
maybe a good ole Bowel Movement!

They can choose not to say it themselves. Fuck them.

[Iowanian]

I've taken more than one combat veteran to games, and they shouted "Chiefs"....

I think this group of white-guilt, latte sipping hrrpdrrrps need to find something else to Ululate over

I did my part today and yelled Chiefs. Fuck those haters trying to ruin a tradition.

[CHENZ A!]

Fuck this group.

Agreed.

[Strongside]

I'm going to start an internet group to ban internet groups among chiefs fans.

Ok, I laughed.

[keg in kc]

If you don't like it, don't do it. That's your prerogative. But don't fucking try and tell me that I can't.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Freedom of speech...

[Iowanian]

I think these people should stand in a tight circle of like minded people, shit in their hands and clap.

[dtebbe]

The great thing is when a big group of Chiefs fans does it in another city's stadium. The playoff game in Indianapolis comes to mind... you should have seen the look of horror on the Colt fans' faces. It was priceless.

[Eleazar]

We need to figure out who's running this and give him the Pvt. Pyle sock party

[Down4Chiefs]

I'm sure these groups hearts are in the right place. But whenever you see groups like this,if they bothered asking people,including servicee people where they think more energy,and more efforts need to be applied,I'm pretty sure stopping Chiefs fans from saying "chiefs!" Wouldn't rank in the top 50

[Dave Lane]

**** this group.

With a rusty grapefruit spoon.

[lewdog]

I'm making it my pledge to do it at EVERY sporting even I ever attend from now on, for a show of solidarity against these ass clowns and to make sure my freedom of speech is never taken from me.

[stevieray]

NOT

[|Zach|]

I think it is pretty dumb when people do it outside of Arrowhead. Not putting a group together about it or anything. Heh.

Oh well... Just don't care really........people can do whatever they want.

If you don't get goosebumps hearing "Home of the Chiefs" followed by the tomahawk chop, then you have no pulse. Best fans in the NFL.

I'm going to start a Facebook Group to change the Pledge of Allegiance to

"One Nation...
Under the Mustache..."

Well, then we have to stop children from jokingly singing "Jose, can you see?"

Anyone who is offended is a fucking pussy.

[whoman69]

Me, being a veteran, see no harm in saying Chiefs. People just being uppity for no reason at all.

Seconded

[Dayze]

they should realize that singing the national anthem before sporting events is retarded anyway.

Oh, and I'm also extremely tired of references to "9/11".

[FRCDFED]

Well, then we have to stop children from jokingly singing "Jose, can you see?"Ok...so I've never heard this before. Maybe I'm sheltered.

Either way....I laughed. a lot! LMAO

[warpaint*]

Good. I hope the group is successful, it's an embarrassing tradition.

^^^^^^^
Embarrassing on multiple levels.

[FRCDFED]

BTW...I'm also a vet and feel that whoever changed it to "Home of the Chiefs" at Arrowhead was clever to use the NA, a song that encompasses the solidarity and sacrifices of a nation, and apply that to a sports venue on a smaller scale and achieve the solidarity that it was originally intended to achieve in the first place.

In no way is it a slap or a disgrace to anyone. Those who don't feel the power of unity has missed the intent completely and are mindless sheep. If you need a cause to support, then find out why we are sending money and support to other countries rather than helping those at home. Go work in a soup kitchen or volunteer to mentor kids. I think you will find those more gratifying and worthy causes.

GO CHIEFS!

[Old Dog]

Pretty Close actually..

Go argue with a Vet about the issue, see what happens

I'm a vet and you're an idiot.....that help clear it up?

LMAO at Facebook groups trying to change the world....

[Kerberos]

Yeah - I understand their point but I don't care. I'm not offended nor am I a huge fan of the tradition. Call me a fence-rider. It's a small issue, not worth getting worked up over either way. It's a candy wrapper in a stairwell.

"Don't you see it"????

Great post. Rep.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Eat fuck pie, group.

[kysirsoze]

Awesome tradition. No disrespect intended or given.

Also, the anthem doesn't belong to veterans. It's every person's right to decide how they honor the country and how they express their own pride. That said, I've yet to hear a veteran express offense anyway. Just a really silly cause to take up.

I mean, Boom

[MahiMike]

Pretty idiotic idea. How would they even try to enforce this? How about fining the drunks throwing F bombs in front of kids?

[saphojunkie]

Nah

America really is home of the Chiefs. The Chiefs play in America. The Chiefs are brave, so it is still like saying home of the brave.

Additionally, America is also home of the cowards. People who are too chicken shit to change one word of a poem written two hundred years ago out of some misguided sense of nationalism toward a nation that 50% of the people hate 50% of the time, depending on what political party is in the white house.

It is also Home of the Not Brave All the Time, but When the Moment Arises, Able to Fight Through Their Fear and Tough it Out.

But that ruins the rhythm of the line.

Mostly, though, America is home of the Americans. Moreso than "the brave," because that implies that "the brave" are a collective group who share the same qualities throughout. So, if a brave person lives in Greece, then they are part of the collective "Brave (group)" and their home is America.

Of course, you could also just settle down and realize that the national anthem is about as legitimate a source of pride as having the sports team from my area beat the sports team from your area.

This is retarded.

[Chief Pote]

What happens in Arrowhead...stays in Arrowhead. :D

[ILChief]

Oh, and I'm also extremely tired of references to "9/11".

I really don't like the god bless America during the seventh inning stretch. Seems out of place

[wazu]

Irony here is that Chiefs fans love this tradition so much that they hurry to their seats so they won't miss the national anthem, meaning way more people in the stands, honoring America.

Huey Lewis needs to tell them to STFU

Ha. Good point. Chiefs fans are way more into the anthem than what I see from most fans.

[WhawhaWhat]

Anybody that doesn't like "Home of the Chiefs" basically hates the Chiefs IMO. So F them.

Seems like more and more people are offended these days. What an absolute sandy vagina society we've turned into. Who gives a shit honestly?

[Pitt Gorilla]

I don't particularly care for the Home of the Chiefs thing, but I can't imagine trying to get people to stop doing it. If you don't like it, don't do it.

If you don't bother singing along, then why do you care how it ends?

The Chiefs fans did that here in the AZ Cardinals stadium when they played here some years back; should have seen the hometown fans heads swivel like WTF? It was hilarious and surprisingly loud.

[007]

I wonder how Braves fans feel about this.

Not personally. But when the govt makes an unconstitutional act constitutional for it's own gain, then it becomes a govt of tyranny.

And that's all I'm going to say to keep this from being thrown into DC.

America would technically still be home to the 'Chiefs' if our 'brave' individuals didn't bring guns to a tomahawk fight.
