You see them on TV, in person and cheering the loudest, not to mention their charity involvement. Now here's your chance to vote for your favorite "Superfan"

Really though, charity is not a competition here guys. I don't see any reason to be upset as the "Superfans", the more recognized they are the more they can help their charity endevours. I don't see what's so bad about that. I don't know if it's jealously but there's obviously a level of resentment there. And also just for instance, imagine you're a 10 year old kid, who are you gonna remember more, the fact that you talked to some guy named Bob or Mike or whatever, or the fact you got your picture taken with freaking First Down Elvis! Come on now, this isn't a competition, these guys all serve a purpose and do their job quite effectively, they should be proud of what they do.

The whole reason I started dressing up was because the first game I went to 12 years ago as a season ticket holder, was the first game I had ever watched a game without my dad, who was 6 hours away. I started dressing to try to get on TV,yes I admit,but the whole reason was that my dad could see me and we could have that connection even though we were so far apart.

Listen, i think the charity angle is great. Really. I applaud you for that. But let's not act like you dressed up solely for that reason, it just simply brought the opportunity because of the dress-up, not the other way around.

We do help Chiefs charities,I helped Will To Succeed last year, I was very involved with TeamPriest for a year,our calender is going to help Ronald McDonald (Trent's charity) and Eddie Kennison's Quick Start. We have helped Casey's First Down For Downs Syndrome, JA's Diabetes Walk. We helped out Hicks For Hearts this Tuesday. We are in constant talk with the players on helping out their events and taking helping them to the next level. We help charities that aren't tied to the Chiefs,to get players out to their events to help raise money, challenging players to do more in the community. That isn't the main mission of this organization though, it is to reach as many children as we can, to teach them how to be a great Chiefs fan and more importantly how to give back to the community in a totally positive way. Here is a link so you can see how we are trying to accomplish these goals-http://kcsuperfans.com/site_pages.cfm?pageID=963
We are literally killing ourselves to help out the communities throughout the Chiefs Nation and I challenge every fan to get involved to do the same,even if it just one little thing you do. Together as the greatest fans in the world, we can truely build mountains in our communities!!!

As far as them being "superfans" I have already stated my opinion on that. For me it is simply a way for these guys to gain some semblence of fame, I would bet about anything that when they meet people out of "costume" that they will mention "who they are" within minutes. So it is simply a case of them wanting to draw attention to themselves. And as far as their charity work goes...... great for them, really I admire anyone that does that. But if they REALLY wanted to help the Chiefs and be a "superfan" why don't they devote more time and energy to volunteering at some of the players charities instead of someday dreaming of having their own special little sign down on the field besides Wil Shields "Wil to Succeed" charity banner. Personally I am irritated by people that are constantly "needing" the attention they are seeking. I have often heard the better person you are the less you have to talk about it for people to realize it. I think it is pretty similar for fans as well.
