I was thinking, maybe people should just head out toward the north end or wherever the edge of the stadium is and actually show up to cheer. Not because of some self-righteous "holy war" or any of those ultra-group dynamics, but honestly, just to support the players and the front office... because, let's be real, this current management actually backs us. Every previous board we've had would have been spitting on the NFL Ultras in a situation like this, and we all remember how that went... I know the flares aren't exactly anyone's favorite thing and they’d probably prefer if they weren't around, but at least they aren't dragging our name through the mud. As for fighting against those idiots over at the Federation or those guys writing about "us versus them," I think there's definitely an "us and them" dynamic here, though you can interpret my little hint however you want... And please, don't think you're "saving" the fan movement by chanting things about corrupt officials or how they've ruined the game. The only thing that makes sense right now is focusing on the actual legal stuff and the code... because once the owners and the big shots leave, someone else will just step in and the laws will stay exactly the same... On the stands, we should just do what we've always done, maybe minus the stuff where we throw things onto the field. It seems like a lot of people in this thread are trying to frame this whole thing as some "ultra" manifesto, which for most people just means putting the group above everything else, and as long as that's the case, I'll be a hardcore realist. Because at the end of the day, the Kansas City Chiefs come first, then the NFL Ultras, and everything else comes after that.
the energy from those NFL Ultras up north or whatever you want to call them
I know I’m basically jumping out of a plane without a parachute here, so bear with me... but if anyone happens to know where I might find some old footage from that 50th anniversary match between Liverpool FC and Los Angeles FC—specifically involving the Black Knights—I’d really appreciate it. Thanks in advance...
Look, I’ll be the first to admit the Black Knights have their flaws, just like any other group out there... but I’m not about to play pretend or try to sugarcoat things with some fake sense of objectivity. In this corner of the internet, at least, the Black Knights have always been my people. And honestly, I’d ask the younger crowd on this forum to maybe pipe down with the mindless chatter... it gets exhausting when people who barely know anything feel entitled to lecture everyone else on the entire history of fandom in this country... and to you Boysi folks lurking around, if you’re just here to dismiss everything we say as nothing more than kids acting foolish, then maybe just don't bother replying... Black Knights Miami forever
I honestly feel like the whole point behind these attacks on supporter groups is just to convince everyone else—the casual fans, the spectators, the general public—that we’re nothing but a bunch of destructive hooligans or whatever... if they actually manage to pull that off, then we've really lost the plot. It's exactly what happened with the boys, where suddenly there's five hundred of them standing against everything... and sure, we can laugh about it all we want, but let's be real for a second: without them, without that massive support from the stands, we’re basically just barking at the moon... or we could just go totally extreme and walk away from this whole thing entirely, which might actually be easier... but I suspect that's exactly what they're hoping for.
I wasn't even in San Francisco earlier... but what I'm seeing right now is 👍
