Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Not because of some "holy war" or ultra bullshit, but just to back the players and the front office. At least this management actually backs us. Previous owners? They’d spit on the Raiders in a situation like this. We haven't forgotten. I get that the flares aren't beloved and people wish they weren't around, but at least they aren't screwing us over. And regarding the fight against those idiots at the US Soccer Federation or whatever the news says—there isn't an "us vs. them." I think there definitely is an "us vs. them," and I won't say how I feel about certain local politicians... take that however you want. And don't think you're "saving" the fan movement by chanting stuff about corrupt officials or how the federation ruined the game. The only thing that makes sense right now is dealing with the legal stuff. Because once the big bosses leave, someone else will step in and the laws will stay exactly the same. On the stands, we should just do what we always do, maybe minus throwing things on the field. Seems like a lot of guys in this thread are trying to make this an "ultra" thing. To most people, that just means putting the group first. As long as that's the case, I'll be a hardcore realist. Because the Kansas City Chiefs come first, then the Raiders, then everything else.
Listen, guys, enough with the mindless slogans. Yeah, the Raiders are my number one, and the Chiefs come after. But don't give me that crap about traveling to small towns in the Midwest just to support the team. Support which team? For God's sake, what are you even talking about?
