My stupid SOC/Blackout story.

I had an amazing morning. I passed out several hundred SOC/Fire Pioli fliers and as I'm wrapping things up and headed into the stadium a golf cart rolls up to the "These Guys Can Cook/SOC" tailgate in Lot B. They said they were instructed to stop the distribution of signs and confiscate them. I kindly told them that I knew they were just doing their jobs and I respected that but they were going to get to haul me off in cuffs before they got my signs. Then they threatened to call their supervisors at which time I invited them to call every supervisor up to and including Clark Hunt himself but they weren't going to take my signs and they weren't going to stop sign distribution.

The first golf cart was great. They understood where we were coming from and I knew they were just doing what they were told. The next two golf carts of security personnel weren't quite as understanding. I politely informed each that we were going to continue handing out signs and if they wanted to talk to me that I would be 50' away handing out signs. Eventually all 3 golf carts pulled 40' away from the tailgate and I walked towards the stadium with my group of people. This is presumably when pr_capone was detained but I was already in line to enter the stadium.

Screw this piece of crap organization for subjecting me to two fieldgoals against four touchdowns against the BENGALS. Pathetic.

Maybe make the shirts look just like the fliers(white with black writing) and make the next game a "white out".

What about yellow shirts with black lettering to symbolize Clark's cowardice in holding on to Pioli?

Pioli sent his parking lot people after me, the supervisors, Piolis own goon squad, cops and finally the head of Arrowhead security called the cops to arrest me about 11:45 so I decided I'd done all the damage I could and drove back to the farm.

They told me Pioli was watching them and he was watching me. The goons wrote down a bunch of license plate numbers near where I was standing.

Holy shit man.

Where were you doing all this? Just passing out flyers?

[ElGringo]

I gotta say, I did not support black out arrowhead. The way I was raised no fan would ever wear black, too much like the raiders. However, seeing what is going on here, I would like to see this happen again. I would like to see every single season ticket holder passing out flyers, every season ticket seat empty. I want Chunt to know what he has brought to 1 arrowhead drive.

Should have put "Thanks for your service troops" on the back, the PR backlash would have been 10 fold worse then.

If he isnt paying close enough to attention to know that this was going to be done, before the fact... its just as bad as if he knew exactly what the plan was, in my opinion.

Either way, its an all-time terrible omen.

If Chunt had no idea what was going on that is worse than him giving instructions. If he has no idea what is going on inside his company his finger is NOT on the pulse. Would his father have put up with this, no, Lllamar would come out and talk to pr or one of the gents in charge of the movement, or at least that is what I will believe in my heart.

That sounds like a good idea, except I don't know if you can get the KU, KSU and Nebraska folks to wear black and yellow shirts even if it is for a worthy cause.

Damn, I really wish this really would have been organized for a nationally televised game.

[NJChiefsFan]

I am looking forward to hearing PR when he gets his story up.

Radio dudes are going to go nuts this week. They were border line psychotic last week

I'd recommend having a call out on the Save Our Chiefs Facebook site for anyone who experienced a problem today at Arrowhead for peacefully acting on their First Amendment rights.

It is pretty ****ed up. I am a long way away from Arrowhead, but seeing this crap going on is really making me want to never root for this team again and actually finding a new team to follow.

PR has already said we will continue to blackout Arrowhead next week in the Star. We have Manning coming in, that will bring a lot of publicity.
