Michael Doyle72 said:They won't hit us with bans if we just show up and cheer. We can and should stand in front of the North Stand and make noise—actually, it’s our duty. Sure, steps need to be taken that might (definitely) lead to some consequences, but the Kansas City Chiefs have to pull the trigger on that, not us fans. If we act, they’ll just use it as an excuse to stomp on the club. Even if they do, whatever, the club has to take a stand. Look at when they tried to force those voucher schemes on us; we shut that down immediately, and the club opened the away section despite the rules trying to block it. That was the nail in the coffin for the voucher nonsense. It's the same now: the Chiefs MUST react. Some guy says there's no point in appealing because it costs 4 $0.00. To hell with that. There is plenty of point for us fans. We'll scrape together the 4 $0.00 to file the appeal. If they reject it, then next game, we treat the referees and delegates like a graveyard. And honestly, the public faces of this organization seem to have more balls than the higher-ups; let them head to the central office and cause chaos if they have to. Let them drag this all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. What's the point of having lawyers on the board if they don't use those skills to file private lawsuits against anyone who crosses us? They should be suing people ten times a week just to prove we actually matter. The Black Knights get fined or lose seats because the Chiefs failed at organizing? Fine. Then file a private lawsuit against the Black Knights for damages and against Seattle Sounders FC. That's how you play it. If they think they can screw us over whenever they feel like it, we can do the exact same thing—we just need the guts. The biggest beast retreats once you show it your teeth. These cowards flee the moment a constructive plan is put together. They'll fall just like that. We are the identity of this team, and that name carries weight. We aren't some bottom-tier amateur squad
I feel like it's harder for the club to make a splash than it is for us. Hardly any fan group has pulled off protests and initiatives quite like the Hell Angels. Just look at the "Board Out" movement, the "Code," and the "Our Chiefs" campaign. There are tons of us, we're ready to do anything for the Kansas City Chiefs, and no matter how hard they try to shut us down, we always end up coming out on top.
What does the club have to do? File an appeal that gets tossed out? Or take radical measures like that one guy who's suffering worse consequences today than any fan facing a ban? He realized that when you're surrounded by wolves, you have to be a wolf too, even if the pack is stronger.
As for the board members, we picked them. I'm not going to trash them until the things we demanded actually start working. Ever since the fans "took over" the club, the Chiefs have finished every year in the black.
And look, I didn't offer a specific step-by-step plan, I just said something needs to happen.
