If you don't change colors when they're winning, then don't change when they're losing! I'm just as angry as the next fan, but bad years come and go!

I hear yea, but it has been a bad "year" for quite a few years now. Something needs to change.
It's a very slimming shade
I don't wear black but I'm sitting on a pile of tickets that haven't and won't be used.
Well they didn't mind making money selling Black jerseys with the KC logo on them.

If you want to send a message, do it through Clark's accountants. Don't buy the merchandise. Don't buy the concessions.
This is easier said than done. Fact of the matter the TV ratings for Chiefs games is still very high. People love the Chiefs win or lose and for many going to arrowhead every weekend is a way of life. Many will keep their tickets just so they don't lose years of seat advancements to finally get the seats they so desire. You are not going to get someone who has owned seats for years to not renew to prove a point to have to start over if there is a change. If a loyal fan gets to that point it is highly unlikely they will change their mind once a change is made.Quote:

Why not have everyone wear all White as in waiving the white flag to signal their surrender or something else that really stands out. Like a Bright Green since so many people actually wear black as the weather gets colder.
I don't even think not watching games helps since everyone gets a cut out of the TV deals
Looks like Raider fans are dumber than I first thought.Quote:

The problem is that the tickets, and in some cases the parking passes, have already been paid for. Wearing black is the way fans are choosing to show their disapproval without literally throwing all the money right down the toilet.Quote:

THIS! We here at the lake talk about how we aren't gonna watch or go to the game but even the bad games the chiefs have given us, it is still a good time. Tailgating for a cpl hours with family and friends makes the trip to arrowhead worth it. My brother spent $20 on four tickets this Sunday in the parking lot section 132.Quote:

I generally don't wear a coat to the bar as I drink rumpy that warms my belly and I always leave my coat somewhere weird.

So while the stadium may be 50% black, they may only say 25% of that black is in protest.Quote:

your missing the point. Is everyone single one of those people there just to protest by wearing black or is it just what they happen to own and are supporting the team. If you don't think Pioli or Clark are looking at the entire crowd and saying wow that is a lot of pissed of people. Because I am betting they are looking at that and saying, yes there are a lot of mad people wearing black but some of those people are Bengals fans supporting their team, some of those people are just wearing what they have. Look at the amount of white in there as well. Heck the Fan assitance people and police wear dark colors too.Quote:

i bet they are just looking at all the empty seats
Sad pic! I am excited for Sunday though, always will be!! I love the Chiefs!
