FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(October 17, 2012)

Organizers behind the Save Our Chiefs movement have designated November 18, 2012 against the Cincinnati Bengals as the official Blackout Arrowhead game. Not a blackout in the traditional sense where the game isn't televised but instead one where the fans wear black to the game. Why a Blackout? To send a visual message that Chief fans are tired of broken leadership and subpar performance on the field. Black is a color commonly attributed to “mourning” which is the state of mind, play and spirit of the Chiefs fan base.

Organizers released this official statement on Wednesday, October 17, 2012:

"We, the donators and supporters of the banner and movement, have been accused of being fair weather fans. This is simply not true. We are passionate fans who live and die with this team on Sunday. If we were fair weather fans, we would have found something else to do a long time ago. Instead, we have gone hoarse by the second quarter and not been able to speak right the next day. We have painted our faces and worn costumes, even formed charitable organizations that have raised tens of thousands of dollars to benefit the local community. We have made life-long friends and are as dedicated a Chiefs fan as anyone else.

We haven't given up the team. We are tired of losing. We are tired of not being competitive. We are tired of seeing Arrowhead as a shell of what it used to be.

We who have been loyal for so long deserve better than what we have received. We have endured 19 painful years with no playoff wins. While it’s acknowledged that the organization has won the AFC West, as recently as 2010, they mean nothing when they are immediately followed by playoff losses. We have had a single appearance in the AFC championship game since 1970 (1993) and we lost. In 1984, the AFC Championship trophy was named "The Lamar Hunt Trophy". How sad is it that we have never once held the trophy that bears our founders name?

Thousands of us remember the desolation of the 80's and it is something we do not want to see repeated. Thousands of us remember going to games in the late 90's and early 00's and feeling the rumble of the crowd in our feet and chest. We would high five and hug total strangers after a touchdown or a clutch defensive stop. We remember being unable to talk to the person next to us on defensive 3rd downs... all because we knew that we could disrupt the opposing offense and inspire our defense.

Our goal with this movement is to create change so we don't end up forgetting those experiences. We ask everyone to attend the Chiefs/Bengals game on November 18 to wear black and cheer for the Chiefs. Send a message that Sea of Red will quickly change and disappear if change isn't made. Arrowhead will once again be empty like it was in the 80s.

I wouldn't even give those people another thought. Not any of them. Stop legitimizing their voice. Treat them like the Chiefs are treating SOC. The Chiefs are winning the PR battle in terms of not giving SOC any legitimacy. We aren't fighting against other small factions of Chiefs fans. Stay focused on the prize. Forget the rest.

2.) Fece and his prozac'd-up Friend.

3.) Some young bucks who really don't understand how anything works and just want to write "F__k" and "S__t"

Don't worry about anything other than the message. Return hope/Fire *****/ SOC.com

Chief Concerns is the equivalent of Vaginas for Hitler... they are a propaganda front for Fat Scott.

Can't they just promise it will be there before the game in 3 weeks and save us a little money?!

Do you happen to know if they are giving out a cheaper price for slower shipping?

**Phobia** · 10-27-2012, 01:18 AM

I don't really know anything about it.

NJChiefsFan · 10-27-2012, 01:19 AM

Mmm. Oh well. From what I have read there isn't really a cheap shipping price. Just have to pay it.
