I would like to thank the fans on the front lines in KC
 
A big thank you to those going to Arrowhead and wearing black, or getting kicked out for voicing your opinion on a sign, to those who are so loud that the media around the country are taking notice, and feeling the pain in KC.

THANK YOU!

As someone who lives in Vegas, I really dont have anyway to get Clarks attention. Sure, I can talk about how bad my team is on my radio show, and I do, and I can refuse to wear the product (jerseys hats), but what you guys are doing in KC is awesome and inspirational. And despite a season where I have never been more ashamed of the Red and Gold, I am so proud to be a part of a fan base that will do what you guys are doing over there. I have never heard of another fan base creating things like SOC, or flying banners over the stadium and blackouts.

Seriously, you guys are amazing, and because of you and your loyalty and love for this franchise, I am proud to be a Chiefs fan.:thumb:

The truly amazing thing handing out the Fire Pioli signs yesterday was the number of people that thanked me for giving them to them and wanted extras for other people in the cars. I was so proud of the people wearing black that I thanked each of them as I gave them their signs.

There was a generational bias, most 60+ year olds refused the signs while 40 and under was about 95%.

Thats awesome man. Really, thank you. It feels good to know that the core of the fan base is doing whatever they can to save our team.

i think it is amazing also. Living in NE I can only do so much but even up here I answer a ton of questions when other fans bring the subject up to me.

Yesterday while tailgating in NE for the Colts game I had many conversations about what the black out meant. They were impressed with our fanbase not our team.

Yep, proud of the fan base, not the team.
BTW, love your avatar.

We need to get other fan bases on board. Have them flash "Fire Pioli" signs. If this movement goes beyond the KC fan base, the NFL will have a real problem on their hands.

This just isn't about a bad team and upset fans. This is about an incompetent front office that ABUSES the fans that have been here long before the current regime and will be there long after Pioli and co are ousted.

I keep hearing about this just being a regional media story with a smattering of national conversation. Do NE fans know what's going on, even if it's not the details? Is there still a Pioli effect in NE and that's why they know? Just curious.

I was surprised at the groups wearing red refusing the flyers. That was just goofy, I thought.

A thank you from me as well. Very impressive yesterday.

I feel the same exact way. I live in New Orleans and could not be happier to be a Chiefs fan due to these guys standing up and saying enough is enough.

I don't get why they feel the color you wear states the type of fan you are.

I noticed the same thing. The people were very thankful... and there were many wearing black at the various tailgates. They were more than happy to help share the message. Most just weren't smart enough to conceal them before going into the stadium. heh.

Plus, I got to take my son around to help... "sometimes, son... it's okay to question authority and to demand change."

Nah, it is more potent when the opposing fanbases say "Extend Pioli".

too bad the average NFL fan won't even give a second thought to that. They might say "who the hell is pioli" but thats it.

If I weren't a Chiefs fan it's what I would say. Most fans don't know GMs by name.
