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.
