Arrowhead Adventures 2011?

by Chiefs

Kansas City Star

As our owner continues to wage battle to preserve our 2011 season, my third payment of six to the Kansas City  Chiefs organization is on its way. It’s especially bad timing for my wallet, and for my outlook on the state of the NFL in general. Don’t get me wrong I love football, and love the Kansas City Chiefs. But it sure feels like the NFL and the players are biting the hand thats feeding them.

First of all the 18 game season seems to be no longer a possibility largely due to player opinion. Once again two of my ten season tickets are virtually worthless.

Second, the upward momentum of several seasons of rebuilding now appears to be in danger of flatlining once again amidst player and owner dissatisfaction.

So what am I doing about it? I’ll tell you. I called this morning and cancelled my order for a full season of red parking passes. I showed ‘em.

The effect was obvious as the sales rep yawned and  told me she had removed the purchase from my account, and politely asked me if there was anything else she could help me with. “There damn sure is” I thought to myself.  But its like complaining to the high school kid behind the counter at McDonalds about the prices.

Still, I can’t be the only loyal fan voting with my pocketbook can I?

I’d cancel my season tickets all together but like an Ozark Mountain meth head, I’m addicted to my second row seats at Amen Corner.

But what else can I do? What can you do? What can we all do?

SO IT IS THE MILLIONAIRES NOT THE BILLIONAIRES SCREWING UP MY NFL! I am on the verge of cancelling my four season tickets before my third payment is withdrawn from my account on Tuesday also. There is something just not right about this whole situation. Why are we being required to pay for tickets to games that they can't even tell us for sure that they are even going to be playing?? Would it kill them to wait until they get done splitting up their billions to finish taking my money? Really? They already have over $1,100 of my money sitting in their bank until August when they will "begin the refund process " to me if they don't play. Things is I'll probably just shut up and keep paying (at least for this month) because as I understand things today it is the players I am F'ing pissed off at for walking away and not taking the deal they were offered because they want to see the last 10 years of the owners financials....are you FFFF'ing kidding me??? Please someone tell me I got this one all wrong! Since when does and employee have the right to look over the owners books before he decides if he likes his new raise or not??? Hell I can't wait to go to work Monday and tell the boss about this new contract negotiating process! I'm sure he will just whip out the company books for me to give a good look over so I know just how much of his profit I feel I worth. I don't care if he is a billionare, a millionare or if he makes $500k or if he can barely pay his own bills - it's up to him how much he wants to offer to pay me and if I don't like what he offers and someone else is willing to pay me more then I have the right to go work for that guy. Isn't that how this great free market democractic society supposed to work??
