Chiefs Home of the Chiefs outside Arrowhead? - Page 5

Seriously? People do this? This should just be an Arrowhead thing, in my opinion. It makes no sense outside Arrowhead, other than road games, of course. (I did it at the game in Denver last week.)

Self: Give up 'home of Chiefs' during anthem
1 hour ago
AP - Sports

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -- Kansas coach Bill Self wants fans to quit yelling ''Chiefs'' at the end of the national anthem before games that the Jayhawks play at historic Allen Fieldhouse.

Fans of the nearby NFL franchise traditionally bellow ''Chiefs'' rather than ''brave,'' the final word in the national anthem, before games played at Arrowhead Stadium. But for some reason, many do the same thing before games played in other area venues.

Among them are Allen Fieldhouse and Kauffman Stadium, the home of the Royals.

Self said Monday that ''out of respect for what it really stands for and the men and women that have sacrificed so much, I think that we should stay true to what it is.''

Other local coaches have made similar pleas over the years.

Me and OTWP58 made the trip over to Indy in 2006. There were a lot of Chief fans there. The "Chiefs" was heard very loudly. The people around us were aghast. They were not stuckup fans. They didn't understand how we would change the words of the national anthem. Their honesty effected us. We thought we should give up "chiefs" outside of Arrowhead.

I was a long time season ticket holder. The only time I ever shouted "brave" instead of "chiefs" and cheered the visitors coming out onto the field was the NY Giants. It was the first game post 9/11.
