So here we go, you’re out here claiming you just don't get it. But if you don't actually grasp what people mean when they talk about having "ideals," then you don't really have a leg to stand on when you try to lecture the folks who do. And honestly, why do you even care what they think? Without those core values—those tiny slivers of humanity that hold everything together in every part of life—there wouldn't be an America, and there wouldn't be any progress or hope for a better future anywhere in the world. If this club was always just some massive joke, and now someone is finally standing up against the absolute mess it’s become, why are you even looking for excuses for them? What’s your stake in this? But hey, why am I even bothering to explain this to you? I'm a total idiot too, I guess. Peace.
Reading comments on an article about absolutely nothing is always a breath of fresh air, even if most of them aren't rigged—well, except for those same old repetitive rants about the Democratic Party. It’s pretty obvious people just need some target to dump all their pent-up frustration and hate onto these days... and journalists are just sitting there waiting to serve it up on a silver platter, even if it isn't even actual news.

I don't know which God you pray to, but why the hell are you deleting posts when someone just tells you where to shove your Herzegovinian ass? Are you one of the guys in the picture or something? Is that why you're so offended?
Since you're acting like such an Apostle, I really don't get why you'd even bring God's name into something this trashy, BBB.
God, I hope He blesses him and brings him home, assuming he actually was murdered—and if he was, then I really hope some sense finally hits those people who are out there cheering for his death, or anyone else's for that matter.
Look, without bringing God into this for nothing, what the article is saying is that this is just one more case in a long line of similar moves against him, so it doesn't really mean much. Sure, there’s a threat involved, it’s not just some random insult, but if he gets himself a decent lawyer, he might just walk away paying a few bucks in fines. The real kicker here is that the existence of a contract involving a massive group of players is basically a given, which means they're definitely violating sports laws, yet I don't see any band or anyone actually stepping up to start legal proceedings about it. We're all just left out in the cold, I guess.
Forgive me for parachuting in on something that isn't even my business, but since every random guy on the internet can just wander in here and piss all over the place, I guess a guy like me can join in too.

Period. And let me ask you this: has any American fan group lately gone out and brutally attacked someone in the middle of a stadium—like, in front of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of live cameras, reporters, police lines, and thousands of glowing phone screens—just to proudly brag about it? Not that I doubt they’d be right here, right now, doing exactly that, before they even bother to lecture us on "how things ought to be" for whatever reason.

Look, I wouldn't call that "normal," I'd just say it's understandable why people like that still exist. I get that someone might get "hyped up" because of reflexes they've built over years or decades of being a fan. But personally, I don't find it normal for an adult, supposedly serious supporter, to be consciously getting all worked up in a situation like this. And that's specifically about a goal scored by any one of those walking ATMs—players who, from what I can tell, aren't even being questioned by the club's lawyers anymore—belonging to a management team that, without getting too judgmental, has been absolutely killing this club and its fans for years. Regardless, at the very least, any rational person with half a brain could choose NOT to get hyped, and nobody here is saying you should insult the players. There's still a long way to go before anyone should actually be celebrating... maybe once they finally thank the board, that legendary "workforce," and sure, why not the entire first team, regardless of how many massive buy-back clauses they have in their contracts. I'm saying this because of everyone out there who has been, or is currently being, totally screwed over while claiming that this whole mess is just "totally normal."

Look, even though the post you’re quoting clearly shows: "Today, 09:33 AM" 🤷 , I honestly have no clue what you're trying so desperately to prove here, nor do I care whether the lady dropped her latest number earlier this morning or in the afternoon. A regular person isn't glued to the internet every single "fraction of a second" tracking news about the MLS Team like you are; he just stated the last thing he read when the MLS Team announced those three signings—which is exactly what I told you they announced before you jumped down my throat to correct me—so seriously, enough with this mindless nonsense. There's an entire MLS Team thread specifically for this kind of bottom-tier bickering. Over and out.
Maybe you should take a second to realize the guy you’re quoting actually posted that this morning, so unless you've got some other intel, you're basically just riding on his coattails—especially since the MLS Team didn't drop a single update on Facebook for the next 18 hours. Not to mention, a bunch of six-packs went sold between last night and this morning, though honestly, who even cares about that right now? You looking for a hobby? And what are you even doing in this thread anyway? Why would you drag this totally irrelevant nonsense over here, or are you just feeling an sudden urge to dump your pearls on us?
I don't even know what your specific hang-up is or why you feel this massive need to jump in here and make a scene, but honestly, just check the official Facebook page for Real Madrid. They were posting the exact same thing before 10 PM last night: 5 · 22 hours .. Twitter Thread Real Madrid: Dear Dario, we’ve already moved 3,000 tickets for the match against Los Angeles FC, plus over 1,000 season passes. Since there are still more than 3 days left and interest is through the roof, we’d highly recommend all fans grab their tickets ASAP. 3 · 21 hours · Edited .. ..... What do you mean 3,000... stop lying to people... why are your own staff members saying something completely different when people try to buy them? 9 · 21 hours
Look, I’m not trying to be a preacher here 🙂, but I honestly don't get why everyone keeps having these same old arguments just to make life harder for yourselves, especially during these crappy times when there's already enough chaos flying around us. At the end of the day, for those folks living up North, how any of this plays out doesn't change their reality, so all this back-and-forth is just useless noise, pretty much like that last thread we had going.
Words of wisdom (15:18) An angry man stirs up trouble, but a patient one settles the argument. (16:7) When the ways of man are pleasing to Yahweh, He reconciles His enemies with Him. (17:1) Better is a mouthful of dry bread with peace than a house full of feast meat with constant fighting. (14) Stirring up a fight is like letting a flood loose: so before the storm breaks, just get out of the way! (19) Sin loves anyone who chases after a quarrel, and anyone who acts too proud is just asking for a downfall.
Missed weddings and laundry done at all the wrong times. Anyway, everyone’s got their own little theory on who’s worth a damn and who isn't, but the second someone suggests the loudspeaker is going to make the call, half of you suddenly act like that was your idea all along, while the rest just dig their heels in. You shouldn't have even opened your mouths. For those of us who honestly couldn't care less what the megaphone says—myself included—there are plenty of other stands without the noise, or we can just head home and watch the game on TV. There's really no point in grinding your gears or acting like it's the Middle Ages just because of some announcement you can't control anyway. Just try to be smart enough not to walk straight into traps that are already set, and we'll be fine. Don't go thinking Sunday's game is going to fundamentally shift the landscape of everything; if you expect a miracle, you're just setting yourselves up for a headache.
Look, I’m not even talking about whether they have the technical, legal right to pull this off or if the Supreme Court would say it's technically constitutional. That's not my point. My point is that they're out there basically bragging about these powers in the newspapers like it's nothing, and yet you don't see a single one of those self-righteous human rights activists or government watchdog groups giving a damn about it.
The crew over at LA Galaxy have been pretty vocal about this in newspaper interviews, basically claiming the FBI has been handing over data on people who were processed ages ago—I'm talking people whose bans expired a lifetime ago, not just those currently under active restrictions. So, they’ve basically interpreted the law however they want to suit them, deciding they can unilaterally pick who they deem a "threat" without asking anyone else, even if there's no legal ban in place. That’s how most of this so-called "blacklist" actually came into existence—just a bunch of "insights" that the FBI obediently handed over on a silver platter. That probably explains why they go off on some crazy tangent reading minor infractions and calling people out in Nu2. Basically, LA Galaxy claims they can act as this independent, self-appointed judicial-repressive body, banning anyone on that list from public gatherings or public spaces whenever they feel like it. They don't bother checking with the FBI or the courts. Even though the Supreme Court ruled in a previous case that "knowledge of unlawful behavior" can only stem from validly established sanctions issued by actual legal authorities, the guys at LA Galaxy interpret things differently. And the FBI and the courts just shrug their shoulders, which means someone who had a court-ordered ban for a specific timeframe might end up singing battle songs and catching these club sanctions for the rest of their lives, just because LA Galaxy feels like it. It's essentially being tried twice for the same thing, only this time by a (usurped) private association. In my opinion, the FBI shouldn't even be giving them lists of citizens who are free and no longer under any kind of sanction, especially when their old penalties expired long ago. That’s a straight-up violation of human rights and data privacy. But hey, Svetin and the rest of them dodge the issue perfectly by using the phrase "compiled by the FBI," conveniently leaving out the fact that the FBI—who shouldn't even be sending this stuff to a private group—isn't the one issuing the sanctions based on that list; it's Svetin's association doing the punishing, acting like a sort of paramilitary enforcement arm. So, I still have no clue exactly who is on these current lists. At this rate, they could toss anyone in there who ever crossed them, as long as they have some old record of an expired measure on file. Whatever, it's their problem.
Honestly, among all the other nonsense going on, what is this whole thing with PBS trying to stir up trouble? They're out here asking if "the North and South are at war" and hunting for incidents that just don't even exist... I mean, seriously, what kind of show are they even running? I have no clue.
Richard Rogers38 said:just letting the club get forcibly taken over by private interests without saying a word
Man, I wish someone would actually address the massive elephant in the room instead of just hyperventilating over this one issue everyone’s obsessing about. Because let's be real, things are already spiraling. You have to wonder what kind of shady players are lurking in the background, just waiting for the Brothers to lose their grip so they can swoop in and pull off a quiet, seamless takeover without all the baggage these guys bring. Meanwhile, most of us will be stuck spinning our wheels in some endless legal circus that could drag on for years. Just look at how fast ESPN flipped their position—that should tell you everything you need to know.
Man, watching that stuff is just straight-up brain rot, I'm skipping it. As for the allegations, this looks pretty legit and really shines a light on all those likely endless schemes used to bleed the club dry over the years:
Charles Diaz90 or whatever, saying "it's all the same" is basically like listening to CNN back in '91—if you aren't old enough to remember those old-school news cycles, that is. You might as well start lecturing us on the days of the Democratic Party. And look, regarding "the fight," unless your idea of fighting for Dynamo is just mindless obedience to GNK—which, let’s be honest, that whole circus on the North Side barely qualifies as actual fandom—I think you're ignoring a massive list of people who actually sacrificed everything for this club. I'm not just talking about the times people had their careers, studies, and entire lives trashed for some nonsense while they rotted in jail for months on account of me or you, but also when hundreds were getting busted and blacklisted en masse, like during that match against Indianapolis, or when dozens were being hauled in just for not having an ID handy. That's what I respect. Honestly, anyone should be taking heat from the system—speaking from my own experience here—and maybe stay somewhat plugged into reality instead of just catching second-hand gossip, so we can finally start respecting what people actually contribute or sacrifice instead of lazily labeling someone else as "not doing enough." Just my two cents. Lastane, am I crazy, or just a bleeding communist?
I haven't checked out any other shots yet, so I can't really tell if they actually went out to say hi to the fans (though honestly, you have to wonder which crowd they were even aiming for) or what
