How can you guys be fans of a clearly racist team? Teams like the 'Redskins' and the 'Chiefs' are clearly depicting American Indians in an inappropriate manner. As if the white man has not done enough damage to the Indian culture and heritage, football teams like the Chiefs must portray Indians and their mascot and portray American Indians in a demoralizing manner.
The US would never stand for team names like the 'Honkies', 'Spooks', 'RagHeads', 'WOPs', or 'Slants'. Why then should we be subjected to the desecration of the American Indian?
By simply supporting this, what I consider to be a criminal organization, you are backing the negative portrayal of the American Indian. Therefore, I consider you not Chiefs fans, but racists. The path to Arrowhead Stadium is truly a Trail of Tears.
Morph,
unfortunatley I am working a register. I want out on the floor, but that won't happen for a little while. So if i am there I should be easy to find, just look for the studley young man named Jamie working one of the d@mned registers.:-)
falstaff........
HUM, you aren't on here much are you? I'm out of here guys???
Welll hello son~:-) There is a lady here and one that does know what is going on.......:-):-)
RH - Just as long as your not one of the many people that I have said "he got beat up a lot in high school" then I doubt that I have seen you, but I will keep an eye out.
Uh-oh, what a great first impression I have made on Morph! Most would put me in that catagory, but I have a different personality when working with customers than I usually do. Although most who know me well would probably think of me as that kinda guy anyway. Truth be known, I probably would have been that kinda guy had I gone to high school.:o
Hader,
home schooled, and right now very glad of it
Jamie, allow me to renew my threat to visit your store sometime soon.
I'm currently trying to decide which game I'll attend this year - I'll probably schedule something early in the season (the Giants game on Sept. 23 looks promising). I'll definitely hit Oak Park Mall on whatever Saturday I'm in town and will try to stop by. I'm still on a holy quest to get a friggin official white Chiefs mock turtleneck. Can't find it on-line, and every store I go to just sold the last one in my size to some other fat guy 5 minutes before I got there. Will keep trying...
LOL Morph! Maybe if a paint a bad enough picture of myself, I will look better once you see me.:-)
Fraz,
I look forward to meeting you as well. If you would like I'll do a little preliminary research and see if any of the stores has a shirt like what you are looking for. No sense wasting time (yours that is) if you don't have too.
I'd appreciate that, Jamie. You'd think it would be easy to find one in KC, but apparently I'm never there at the right time of year. If you find one in XL, let me know and I'll just call the store and order the friggin thing.
I also need to find the stuff to complete my Chiefs bathroom ensemble - my uncle was going to get stuff for me and bring it up for the wedding, but apparently none of the stores keep the stuff in stock during the summer. Shouldn't have any trouble finding that once I get down there - I think Penney's carries it.
Look forward to meeting you as well, and getting back to KC. Let's hope the Chiefs unbeaten streak at games I attend holds up!
The Chiefs have an a winning streak from games you have attended? You had better find a way to get here for the season opener against the faiduhs! That is one game we MUST win!
I'll check the mall out for ya and see what I can find out on the shirt. If I don't turn up anything I'll check some of the other sports stores in town. I have been needing an excuse to go visit those places anyway.:-)
Yes, I'm apparently good luck. The Chiefs have never lost a game I've attended at Arrowhead (5-0 so far). I did see them lose in Chicago once, though, so apparently the mystique only works at home games.
I'd love to make the opener, and could probably get tickets (from my uncle's neighbor). Unfortunately, that Sunday is the last day of my belated-honeymoon vacation, and I'll have just got back from the Black Hills and have to be at work on the following Monday. In order to go I'd have to drive from South Dakota to KC on Saturday, then leave immediately after the game and head back up here. That's just too much - I don't handle those long drives the way I used to. The 900-plus mile drive from the Hills back to the Chicago area will be bad enough with a several hundred mile detour.
Of course, I'll be watching the game WITHOUT FAIL OR WORRY OF IT NOT BEING TELECAST on my satellite TV! Hopefully that will be lucky!
Fraz,
I don't blame you, that would be tough to do. Although being young and stupid I would probably attempt it myself. Of course i have never been to Arrowhead either, so any chance I had I would take.
I need to talk to my godfather and see if he would be willing to sell me his ticket to the season opener (actually I hope he just gives it to me), he doesn't like going out there as much because of all the drunken fools (or something like that). I keep forgetting to do it but I really can't afford to wait much longer (I am probably screwed at this point).
You should check with him - it certainly wouldn't hurt to ask. If nothing else, you really should try to take a live game in this year.
As for the driving, yeah, when I was young and stupid I drove all over the place. My record is Rhode Island to Missouri - 17 hours non-stop. If I tried that now I'd be dead in a ditch by the time I got to Indiana. Planes are beginning to appeal to me more and more.
I will check with him on it (tomorrow if I can remember), and I am definitely open to any other games he is willing to let me have tickets to, but I really, really, rrrrreeeeeaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy want the season opener. First of all it is against are arch rivals, the team I hate more than any other, and also because many of the 37Forever members will be going to the game. A chance to promote a worthy cause and meet more of you all at the same time.
