Let’s do this.

A St Louis supporter keeping his high school reunion top of mind feels like what you would get if you asked AI to write a parody of a St Louis supporter.

It’s hilarious to me that a guy I graduated high school with is the Sad SKC Fan meme 😂 Our 10yr reunion is supposed to be this year. If it actually gets scheduled, then I will definitely be wearing my CITY red 😂
My father was not someone who got star struck but I remember going to Royals games w. him as a young kid and Buck came around my Dad said "I don't want to bother you I would just love to shake your hand" that man sat in an open seat by us and talked to us for 20 mins. KC legend.
I love the Chiefs. Love the Roys. I want them to be in KC I want a baseball stadium downtown I want generations of area kids to get the cool experiences I got.
I just think their plan did not meet the threshold of what I find acceptable when I weight the benefits vs cost to KC.
*whispering*
(kc soccer fans showing out for their men’s and women’s team while they played at the same time all while a royals game is being played is better evidence of how special this soccer community is than all the people who came to the messi game)
I am calling their bluff.
They won’t do it.
And if they do they never loved you like you loved them anyway.
Kansas City and especially downtown is so much more than sports.
People think Busio's free kick goal was a shining moment for him but the best Busio moment was when his mom had to lovingly tell the

Voted no at Garrison Community center in Columbus Park.
I want baseball downtown but not at any cost and not with half assed plan.
Lots of great people are involved with the Royals who want amazing things for our community but the powers that be at the top need to do more.
Openly calling on
@KCCauldron
leadership to use its platform to publicly be a voice for its membership and supporters in a manner befitting an independent supporter group. The President and board can no longer be silent in the face of the club we love being in such a state.
Sporting Kansas City games are some of my favorite things in the world and has been for years. The club has changed my life.
Thinking on this for a while I don’t think I can go to a game in light of this hiring and I really hope they reverse course here.
Sure you may have beat us and you may have been instrumental in building our domestic league while we were totally absent BUT WE WON THE US CUP WITH PLAYERS I CANT NAME WHO HAVE BEEN DEAD FOR 100 YEARS!
- St Louis soccer fans on the internet right now.
Some credit where it is due. Thank you to those who used their voices to advocate clearly and effectively for change including

The shuttle busses to Oak Park Mall were supposed to run until only 4, but I just heard our bus driver tell his boss, “I’m going back, there’s no way we can be done.”
So if you’re stuck in the area, there should be transport from Southwest Blvd
16-YEAR-OLD ALEX PFEIFFER BECOMES NWSL’S YOUNGEST EVER GOALSCORER 💪
The forward from St. Louis scored the winner in the KC Current’s 5-4 victory over Portland. Born in 2007, she is just 16 years, 3 months and 19 days old. We feel very old. ❤️
Johnny Russell stepping up and knocking in his PK then immediately mother fucking the keeper until the ref forced him back.
He is everything I want a Sporting Kansas City player to be.
Sporting Kansas City is a pirate ship right now.
We crashed into the playoffs giving it all. We win it dirty in PKs.
We are just sailing and finding ways to win we don’t give a fuck.
They took a step back and made the right decision here.
I can’t wait to enjoy Sporting Kansas City games this year the idea of not enjoying the club I love because of this was horrible.
Appreciate this decision and looking forward to moving on.
No Other Club.
It is wild to think thats the last time we could see Zusi and Espinoza on the field for our club.
I could tell stories about how amazing those two are for days and not even get to the parts having to do with soccer.
There is a really fun element to St. Louis entering our league where for some reason everything that happens they think has never happened before anywhere else.
Then they can go.
I think you are overstating the willingness of these other communities when sports crazy Kansas City feels this way about what they are doing.
I won't vote against what is good for my community out of fear of losing a baseball team who isn't even good.
@ZachIsHere
Yeah…. this is like “calling a bluff” while holding 7-2 off suit it’s a bad idea.
If they come back to the table it’ll be with other offers in hands and it’ll be for two stadiums that will need to be built at the same time at full expense.
Even the A’s got billions from Vegas
A player scored 4 goals...did not even feel the need to celebrate and just stood around mocking supporters who come from all over and spend hard earned money to watch you play.
The status quo is not working.
This is on the club to figure out. We have done our part.
Thanks to
@JustinMeyerKC
for inviting me out to see all the progress on the new KC airport.
In the future there will be chances for the public to get a preview and an open house so be on the look out for that.
I was really struck by all the thought and attention to detail. 🧵
I am really excited to join Sporting Kansas City's technical staff and appreciate Peter's trust in my coaching abilities.
Excited to get to work and help this club win games.
I am being told early on I will be focusing on the locker room music.
Got a call yesterday about someone being intoxicated and someone wanted him checked on.
Officers went out and told us he wasn’t drunk he was just extremely Australian.
I have been thinking about it since.
SKC is the student who gets a C but thinks it’s ok because they studied super hard. And increasingly it bothers me.
There is always some reason they fell short that we should be ok but the grade is what it is.
