It can be said that this is the darkest hour for the Kansas City Chiefs. After the death of 22-year old Kasandra Perkins and Jovan Belcher, and a child who now doesn't have any parents, Chiefs nation is in a dark place.
Because we are a great fan base, I knew we would respond the right way. I started to see some Chiefs fans rallying around each other. Mayor Sly James wrote on Twitter that now is the time to wear your Chiefs red. I asked on Twitter if anyone who wasn't planning on going to the game is now going.
The response...
@arrowheadpride me and 6 friends decided to go this afternoon.

So that's like 30-something tickets accounted for. (And I stopped pasting all the tweets in here.)
Then I started to see others, like these fine folks, who offered up their tickets!
@arrowheadpride gotta work or I'd go tomorrow.Gladly donate my season tickets if someone wants to attend game in my place and support.

There are gonna be a lot of eyes on us today. It's not going to be an easy day for anyone, especially those in the Chiefs organization, and the Belcher and Perkins families.
@juerg24 @arrowheadpride The dismal record, Winston's comments, the "hot seats" aside, the nation will see what KC fans are made of 2morrow.
