Crowd shots are already sparse. I can only imagine how this will turn out. Be prepared for no crowd shots up close I suppose.

This stuff is so infuriating as a fan given our current skill level and results. As a fan I could gloss over this if were winning, but this really is just icing on the cake of a crap football season.

Not sure if this should go in Sports Talk, but directly related to football.

Here's hoping the Krush sitting behind the scorers table will be wearing their chief shirts.

REMINDER!!!!! Don't forget to cancel your BTN subscription and while your at it tell them where to stick their politically correct rule of not showing anyone wearing CHEIF gear! Maybe some of the profs will support their network.

I noticed a couple of Chief graphics on the FS1 broadcast today. A vintage banner and I think a flag somewhere.

They 100% will make you put it inside out or leave. They have the power to do that. They did it for everyone in Krush wearing a Muck Fichigan shirt. Of course that was the old design when we were behind the basket. Might be different now.
