It's time. We're going to show everyone what the Kansas City Chiefs truly mean to us... there are no excuses for anything else!

🤣 Well, I suppose there's really nothing more to be said about it, is there? 😁

Regarding the flares, that’s just part of our culture and always will be, but I’ve noticed there aren't nearly as many flags out there lately 😁. It used to be such a massive sea of them, you know? Now, instead of those huge 5x5 displays everywhere, it feels like you mostly just see a stray flare here and there 😍

Joseph Harris5 said:A fan doesn't necessarily need to be able to list a single player on the Kansas City Chiefs roster (or any other team). It sounds ridiculous, but it’s the truth. You can say whatever you want, but just remember how your ultra life actually started. Nobody among you became part of the Red Army because of some overwhelming love for the Kansas City Chiefs, you joined because there was something deeper burning inside you. It was about proving yourselves, squaring off against other crews, showing who’s tougher, who cheers louder, the visual identity, the pure guts... all that stuff that goes way beyond football, or what we call having "balls." One buddy of mine from the stands, someone who's been at this for decades, didn't have a clue what a defensive midfielder was two years ago, and thought a winger was just "someone who plays on the left or right side." But he knew every single move made by the American hardcore scene—who was where, what happened, when, and how. Our fans are connected to something much bigger than just football. Even when our guys move to Europe, they often end up joining local crews over there. That’s what I’m talking about. Being an ultra is something you feel in early puberty. Does it get you more hyped seeing your neighborhood crew dominate another group, or does it hit harder when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the hell out of the big rival on the field? It's a thin but massive, massive difference!!! I remember exactly the day the ultra side took over for me, moving away from being just a fan of the club (back when it was just the US). I realized the adrenaline hit harder being with my crew than watching the team play on the pitch.

Being a Red Army member and being a Kansas City Chiefs fan aren't the same thing. There are fans who have traveled ten times more for away games than some Red Army members, who remember scores from thirty years ago, who show up to every single practice, but they will never be tifosi because they never awakened that part of themselves.

You can all go to hell, all you fans who are just in it for the scene rather than the love for the Kansas City Chiefs. How can you claim nobody became Red Army out of love for the team? So how *do* people join, and for what reasons??? Some of us grew up glued to the black-and-white TV for every single Chiefs game, praying to our grandparents that if we got good grades in school, we'd get a trip to see them play. Then, as kids, we’d sneak out of the house just to catch a game, and by high school, we realized that supporting the Chiefs meant fighting with other groups, total rivalry in everything, the risk of carrying pyrotechnics, long road trips—and we embraced all of it as part of life. We said: EVERYTHING FOR THE CHIEFS, blood for the Chiefs, life for the Chiefs! And now you're telling me nobody became Red Army out of love for the Kansas City Chiefs?????????

I’m begging the leaders of the Red Army to step up here... seriously, whoever gave this guy such massive complexes back in his glory days needs to just sit him down and have a heart-to-heart... maybe explain why he's still so bitter...

mark my words says: Look at this post
A true fan doesn't necessarily need to be able to rattle off a single player on the Kansas City Chiefs roster (or any other club, for that matter). It sounds ridiculous, I know, but it’s the absolute truth. You can say whatever you want, but just think back to the very beginning of your lives as ultras. None of you joined the Red Army because you had some profound, intellectual love for the Kansas City Chiefs; you joined because there was something deeper burning inside you. It was about proving yourselves, measuring yourselves against other crews, asserting dominance, establishing a visual identity, sheer bravado... all that stuff that transcends football, or what we might call having "grit." I have a buddy who has been in the stands for decades; two years ago, he couldn't tell you what a defensive midfielder actually does on the pitch, and he thought a winger was just "someone who plays on the left or right side." But man, could he recite every single movement of the American ultra scene—who was where, what happened, when, how, and why. Our fans are connected to something far greater than just a game of football. Even when our guys move abroad to live in Europe, they almost always find themselves getting sucked into the local firms there. That’s what I’m talking about. Being an ultra is something you feel in early puberty; is it more of a rush when you see your neighborhood crew dominate another group, or is it more of a thrill when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Dodgers on the field? It’s a thin line, but a massive, massive difference!!! I remember exactly the day my inner ultra took over from being just a casual fan of the Dodgers (back when it was the old American era). I realized the adrenaline hit harder being with my crew than it ever did watching the club play on the field.

Being part of the Red Army and being a Kansas City Chiefs fan are two entirely different things. There are Chiefs fans who have traveled ten times more for away games than some Red Army members, people who remember scores from thirty years ago and show up to every single training session, but they will never be tifosi because they simply never awakened that spirit within themselves.


The gospel truth! That’s exactly why fans are such a specific breed of lunatics! If I didn't love football, I never would have become a fan/ultra/hooligan/whatever the hell you want to call it! Or rather, chronologically speaking, if you don't love football, what the hell are you even doing at a football match!!?? If you don't care that much about your "own FOOTBALL" club, why on earth would you spend all those years singing those heart-wrenching anthems??!!

If all someone cares about is picking a fight with the crew from their own neighborhood (or city), you can always find trouble😉, you don't need a football match for that! At least here in New York City, you can always find people for that kind of entertainment😁!

But then explain this to me—why the hell do those kinds of people go to football matches in the first place?!

And one more thing—"WHO CHEERS LOUDER"—do you realize how stupid that sounds in the context you just described?

Usually, based on your posts, you seem like a decent guy, but this really caught me off guard! 😲😲

Seriously, what an idiotic post. Like, why else would I even be here if not for Cleveland and America!?

You sound like you've got the mindset of some guy from the Middle East...

Here we go again... it’s all starting up once more. You've got the ultras, the casual fans, the hooligans, the die-hards, and every single sub-group from the first tier down to the fourth. Whether it's the local street gangs or those obsessed with obscure political ideologies... honestly, we haven't even had enough time to move past the debates about historical factions and old wars before this starts. And don't even get me started on the unhinged trolls 🤣
It's truly a cursed day whenever the internet finally makes its way into the rugged terrain of the Middle East 🙂

Cursed be the day the internet finally made its way into the rugged hills of the North America 🙂

The North America should just hit delete and wipe all this nonsense away 😍

It's only Wednesday, yet I have no idea why I'm anticipating the game this much; it feels like a full-on mobilization ☕

Our Dodgers take on California at the Rose Bowl this Sunday at 7:00 PM. Let's keep that momentum going and raise our voices to save our Dodgers, our one and only...
Key West, Mobile, Savannah, San Diego, Boise, Spokane, Seattle, San Francisco, Monterey, Columbus, Washington, D.C., Pittsburgh, Des Moines, Madison, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Memphis, Akron, Jackson, Ann Arbor, St. Louis, Warsaw—plus the Black Knights from Canada joining the crew in Miami. This Sunday, there’s only one direction: all roads lead to the game, where our Dodgers aren't just playing against California, they're playing for their lives... Let's show up in force and prove we're the ones standing tall when things get rough. We never turn our backs on our Dodgers!! Let's show them once again that our club has heart and isn't anyone's plaything!!
So Sunday: scarves, flags, flares... doesn't matter if you're driving, carpooling, or hitching a ride, everyone from Miami is heading out together!!
Fill that stadium so our Dodgers have a better tomorrow!!

When you're winning and strong, everyone wants to be your friend, but when things go south, only the loyal stay by your side!!

I honestly don't know what kind of curse has been laid upon this city, allowing the most widely read newspapers to be staffed by bitter, frustrated lunatics who would probably be thrilled if they had been born in North Korea under the regime of Kim Jong Un. It truly makes me sick to see these grotesque monsters masquerading as the journalistic elite. Even when I catch a glimpse of him rambling through his deranged little films... Honestly, he can go jump in a lake.

Haha, I’d love to send him my regards... though I suspect that would only give him more fuel to vent his frustrations to the press.
