Andrew Brooks7 said:The choreography for the (5) section was just... nothing. Zero. Honestly, the guys trying to call the shots today just don't have that leadership spark, and you can't really teach that kind of thing—you either have it or you don't. We'll just have to try again sometime, I guess...

We all have pretty short memories, don't we? The exact same group that pulled off this display—and that one back at the stadium—is the same crew everyone was tearing apart after that whole mess with Stokes. If people were actually crucified over tiny mistakes back then, things would look a lot different now. People who actually put in the work, they stumble, they learn, and eventually, they get it right. It’s a process. But the people who just mess up for the sake of messing up? They’re just stuck being useless, plain and simple.🙂

Those two guys up on the scaffolding today have been in the NFL Ultras long enough and have contributed plenty to the group to at least deserve a shot 😉 at stepping up and grabbing onto something, especially since there aren't many people out there with the guts to actually do it...

Look, guys, let’s not get carried away here. At the end of the day, we’re finally actually working on this group, and for once, it feels like we’re all pulling in the same direction. We just have to take it slow. Nothing life-changing happens overnight, you know? I saw this one guy at the stadium today who was honestly top-tier. Sure, there are hiccups and mistakes along the way, but things are going to settle into place eventually. If we can just get a few more guys like him stepping up to talk with Stan, everything will finally start making sense! Don't be such cowards—get down to the stadium, show up, and don't just let some random loudmouths drag the whole thing around by the collar. Help out when someone loses their way. THAT is what a group is supposed to be. It’s easy to sit on the sidelines, crack jokes, and just jerk off while everyone else does the heavy lifting. Just realize that we’re at a turning point here; don't let your ego get in the way of what the group needs. We inherited this legacy, and every single one of us needs to ask ourselves if, thirty or forty years from now, we want to tell our grandkids that we were part of the rise or the downfall of the NFL Ultras. Personally, I want to look back on this era and feel nothing but pride.

Harold Taylor6 said:Hey Carl Stewart5, I’m honestly not sure how long you’ve been hanging around this group, so I don't really know if you're being dead serious right now or just messing with us. But hey, if everyone actually feels that way, then honestly, mission accomplished!

He tried to lead us through it, but honestly, the squad just completely fell apart out there. I get it, it’s not exactly easy keeping everyone hyped up for a full ninety minutes when things aren't going your way, but there's one thing I just can't let slide. With a massive crowd like this packed into the stadium, if he hadn't broken out Aida, it would've been a total sin—like, a massive oversight on his part. He really needs to mix things up a bit more; the setlist is getting a little predictable and we definitely need some more classics thrown in. Still, you have to hand it to him, the guy is clearly putting in the work.
And that’s a wrap! "Hold it right there, hold it right there, hold it right there!" That’s basically the new anthem coming out of the North. 😁 haha...

That’s enough. 😉
Look, you can tell me I'm wrong all you want, but honestly, no one’s gonna convince me otherwise—not when it comes to how people who actually give a damn about this group operate. It really just boils down to one thing: are you going to let your own ego get in the way of having a real conversation? Because if you can't see the upside in this whole idea of us sticking together, then you clearly aren't as invested in this community as you claim to be. It’s pretty simple, really.

Everything happens in its own time, I guess. I mean, sure, you can be built for this kind of thing—I like to think I’ve got the right temperament for it—but standing there waiting in line ahead of seven thousand people for the first time? Yeah, let's not kid ourselves. Don't even start with me on that one. 🙂 I think I might actually pass out right here. Honestly, I’m about two seconds away from a total disaster. 😁

Just let the guy be, honestly. 😉 He’ll probably spend half his time jumping up and down on the bandwagon, acting like he’s been here since day one, but once he realizes everyone’s actually talking about the group itself... well, we'll see how long that lasts.

John Richardson5 said:Honestly, why do we keep circling back to the same old arguments? We should be moving forward and actually building something here. Just cheer for the Kansas City Chiefs and leave it at that. It doesn't really matter who ends up manning the poles; once everything settles down, it’ll be Steve or whoever else is in charge. Personally, I don't lose any sleep over that kind of stuff—you root for the club, not for specific people or certain cliques. We just need everyone to step up, get involved, and put in some actual effort. There’s been way too much complaining and drama lately; maybe if we just talked to each other more face-to-face, things would be smoother.

As for me, I'm over and out with this forum.

US Army

AMEN!

And honestly, a lot of you are going to be pretty surprised by the new leadership and the way things are going to run now, especially regarding the Star... just hang in there for a bit.😉

Also, cheers,🙂

Andrew Brooks7 said:I’m totally with you on that one—honestly, those guys were out there giving it everything they had to get the crowd buzzing, trying every trick in the book to spark some kind of magic in the stands. I mean, look, I know they’ve played a ton of games by this point, but today? It was like watching them walk into Yankee Stadium for the very first time, just completely wide-eyed and unsure. Still, I gotta tip my hat to them for actually attempting it; like Tyler Thomas15 said, you really need some serious guts to even try pulling something like that off.

So, that’s really the heart of it, isn't it? The biggest headache we're facing is that the people who actually give a damn about the Chiefs and our whole crew pretty much see eye to eye on almost everything, but because we just aren't talking to one another enough, none of that actually gains any traction. We need to find a way to make that obvious, you know?
Man, just imagine if they looked like that back when they first stepped foot into the stadium. It’s exactly what I was trying to tell you, honestly. I mean, these guys are absolute legends—some of the most elite players of their generation when you look at the sheer mileage and the grit they put in during games—but there’s just nothing that can actually prepare you for the reality of standing there in front of 7,000 people all staring at you, just waiting to see what kind of move you're gonna make next. It's heavy. 😉

Tyler Thomas15 said:So, you really want me to break down this whole "sense of community" thing for you? Honestly, I’m not even sure where to start, because if you look at how people act around here, calling it "unity" feels like a bit of a stretch, doesn't it? It’s all just a lot of noise and shouting, most of the time.

Good luck trying to explain that to a guy who’s been riding with the Chiefs for forty-four years and sat through over three hundred games, only to suddenly decide he wasn't showing up to the Raiders section during the last few matchups against Columbus and at Yankee Stadium.

So, you’re seriously trying to tell me that you actually believe we pulled off some kind of coup or launched a full-on assault on the folks over at the CIA? I mean, honestly, where do you even get this stuff from? It’s pretty wild to me how some people can just look at everything happening and jump straight to those kinds of massive conspiracies without blinking an eye.

So, I was just sitting here wondering if we’re actually going to make it to the birthday celebrations without some kind of leadership from the CIA, or if you guys honestly think the Raiders can pull this off entirely on their own.

Look, Star... maybe I should just give you a call on your cell, then you can see for yourself that you aren't exactly addressing me with the proper respect. 🙂
Let me just highlight that one thing you said:
Look, you’re gonna have to walk me through that one again, because I’m sitting here trying to wrap my head around how you can be so damn sure there was some kind of coordinated coup or a targeted hit on the squad—especially when you were right there in the thick of it with us.

haha, alright then. 😉

Look, I can honestly tell you that everything is just completely sideways right now, and if you ask me, the real issue—the absolute heart of the problem—is just this massive, glaring lack of communication. I mean, I’m probably the first one to get worked up, or feel pretty bummed out about how things are going, but when it comes down to it, we all need to get on the same page and stand together as one unit. If we actually pull this off, if we really commit, then knock on wood, this is going to end up being the best thing that ever happened to the Raiders. And obviously, Steve and everyone else is going to be right there in the thick of it with us. 😉
