Screw the ratings and screw this whole debate about the numbers. The actual meat of that article is a much bigger disaster than anyone realizes, and honestly, not even one percent of the truth has actually hit the news properly yet. You’ve got a police force that isn't just playing favorites—they’re using triple standards. You’ve got local PD acting like they’re strictly on a single guy's payroll, going as far as swinging batons at people just for saying a word that isn't even a crime. It's a department where nobody takes responsibility after they shoot someone and leave them bleeding out for hours until they're practically dead, or where they pick up people from halfway across town for absolutely no reason, no explanation, and zero charges. They're even handing over their own files so other people can commit crimes on national TV. THAT is the real issue, if any of you "dead souls" or zombies—who I see all over the place cheering while the cops clear the stands with clubs drawn—can actually wrap your heads around it. Because pretty soon, it’ll be too late for both them and us, and there won't be anyone left to cheer when they start chasing you off Times Square with tear gas just for holding a basic protest.
Samuel Morgan6 said:"...Dinamo has always been backing everyone under the sun—immigrants, minorities, all sorts of outsiders..."
"...idiots and losers..." Honestly, the squad is playing so damn poorly right now that even without bringing up who they support, I bet the Sheriff will kick them all to the curb himself.
There are witnesses claiming they saw those People's Republic of China tanks rolling in formation while Mayan was just out there yelling, "Come on then, one at a time! I'm Joe Frazier to all of you!"
Velvetskipper52 is acting all high and mighty with those "know-it-all" opinions, but honestly, just show me one legitimate disciplinary ruling from the NFL Disciplinary Committee—actually, don't even get me started on whether they should have even opened a disciplinary case in the first place. And if they did, WHEN was the decision actually reached, and when are we even supposed to see it published or take effect? Where in the rulebook does it say a section of the stadium gets shut down on game day, especially when it seems like every other club facing an investigation gets days of notice while we're just left hanging with open proceedings?
It’s honestly laughable watching him talk about how the "silent majority" is just going to stand up to the hooligans if they ever show up on the West Coast, acting like one crazy person is all it takes to tear the whole system down from the roots. The guy basically feeds on the drama; he couldn't care less about anything else, whether it's the clown running the bench, those players he probably signed just to wash some cash—aside from Soudani, who's just coasting—or even the toxic atmosphere at the stadium that supposedly weighs him down. He lives for the chaos; it's the only thing that makes him feel alive...
So, Chuck and Peternel are out here claiming that the silent majority—the "real LA Galaxy faithful"—have finally figured out how to flex their muscles 🙂 to shut down and completely neutralize that paper tiger known as the anti-fan
"It looks like the LA Galaxy supporters have decided they’ve found a way to push back against all that negativity on the pitch, and that means booing when the 'support' starts feeling more like something else entirely"
Yeah, that’s clearly the move—just more "explaining things" to the average fan! As if everything any damn guy from Scranton needs to know hasn't been politely hammered into their heads for nearly three years straight. It’s been plastered all over every single American news outlet and every possible website, left or right, on the Daily News, HBO, RTLA, the main networks, local news stations, and even those niche channels like 4 Rijeka and TV black gypsy. And this wasn't even coming from the guys who "wear tracksuits and feminine belts," or those "moody dudes in black bomber jackets trying to look like English hooligans." No, these were people presenting actual arguments calmly and persistently to every Joe Blow out there, to the club members, and to anyone with a pulse. But hey, since those Steve types just completely ignored it all anyway, I guess the best solution is to just wait for Judgment Day to settle it.
crimsonpuma23, if you ever actually WANTED to understand what’s going on inside this club and how much this whole situation reeks, all you had to do was spend some time reading the threads here on HBO. If you saw the sheer scale of the criminal, underground tactics being used to crush fans indiscriminately, MAYBE—and I emphasize maybe—you’d finally get why BBB doesn't want to dance to anyone's tune when they feel disrespected. But honestly, I don't think it matters. A Lobotomy has basically become socially acceptable at this point anyway. If you’ve got some hallucinogenic, infantile fantasy version of Real Madrid in your head, just keep it to yourself. I don't see any reason for you to play smart and lecture others on what they should or shouldn't do; seems like a fair enough deal to me. And don't bother "explaining" to them what's happening or why, because trust me, everyone has already felt the consequences firsthand—on their own heads, their backs, their families, and their jobs. Meanwhile, you're just sitting there grinding out conclusions about how Miljore is the new Koh and why we should prioritize supporting him. You realize how pointless it is to even reply to this post or try to act wise, right?
Brandon Hill8 said:Doesn't matter, but you're leaning on the wrong law.
🤦 "Doesn't matter," huh? So apparently I'm just some idiot who totally missed that specific part of the Sports Inspection Act you’re so generously bringing up 🙄. Why don't you do us all a favor and actually find the real deadlines—you know, the ones for taking action and the ones for appeals—since you're clearly such an expert on the subject and wouldn't want us applying that general law I mentioned, given how much you love lecturing everyone else.
velvetfalcon80 said:If the first round of investigation turns up nothing, how long does it take to get to the second stage—you know, what's the actual follow-up procedure? Or if anyone has a direct link to the info.
Look, there isn’t some magic "link" you can just click, unless you want to go dig through the Administrative Procedure Act, which basically lays out the timelines. Roughly speaking, we're looking at a maximum of a few months. Honestly, the deadlines aren't even the smallest issue here, and who cares if someone's in a rush? As long as they've actually started the process, screw a month or two of waiting. The real headache is going to be the actual findings and how those inspectors decide to play it, which we won't really see for a few weeks anyway... Once they finally drop the ruling and we see what's actually inside—which is the only thing that matters—under the Sports Inspection Act, they're required to notify the club members who filed the request for the inspection in the first place. Then, if these guys don't decide to just hand everything over to the 3PM, they might try to appeal to a higher level, and then maybe eventually sue in federal court or whatever... assuming they have the energy and the will left in them.
James Bond said:destroying the whole group just because of some "Pride"
Pride? You honestly think this is just about some cheap sense of "Pride"? 🙄 Look, if the wolves from the MLB team aren't dealing with everything from actual criminal activity and forcing situations that would trigger total chaos, to being publicly called out through dossiers and bans, brutal repression, getting hauled away from their homes, and all the other crap used to crush and neutralize any active resistance... then what are we even talking about? Of course they want everyone to just forget about it and go back to business as usual; those guys live for some rotten compromise where you get a half-full stadium and cheering that asks "no questions asked." Let’s be clear, Pride isn't really my thing, but I'll say my piece because I don't give a damn—I am a supporter, and I'm all for mass support, but only if it simultaneously makes it crystal clear to the mafia exactly where they stand. The problem is, apparently, a lot of people can't handle that, because unfortunately, that kind of disobedience and resistance brings along all the uncomfortable stuff that most people don't have the balls to endure. So, I don't see this as some fake dilemma between going to games or not, or cheering versus not cheering; I see it as HOW you do it and how you maintain that resistance. BUT, it's just as logical to stand in solidarity and stay home if the core group is literally being stomped on by the boot of repression and isn't even allowed to breathe anymore. Rotten compromises are just steps toward turning us into zombies. In the long run, that's a surrender, and you always have to know WHAT you're doing and WHY you're doing it... Actually, never mind, I shouldn't have even bothered preaching here...
Jesse Campbell said:Crnic, who’s an absolute beast of a lawyer, actually sued him for defamation. He laid out all the evidence right there in court, which just makes the whole thing hit even harder. I shouldn't even have to break it down for you, but saying stuff like, "You're nothing but a gossip, you aren't even your father's son anymore—just a common rat and a monster. You look like you crawled out of a gutter," is textbook defamation.
Actually, you do. Pretty much the entire sentence is just a straight-up insult, and Crnic went after Mamket for everything—insult, public humiliation, and defamation. To make matters worse, from what I heard, the judge basically slapped him down on the spot just for that one outburst. Anyway, this is all just mindless entertainment while we wait for the DOJ to drop some actual serious indictments....
Timothy Chavez31 said:there's also all this stuff happening outside the stands right now that should be forcing us all to get on the same page for a much bigger cause...
And speaking of that "bigger cause"—if we’re talking about forming some kind of united front outside the stadium alongside the LA Galaxy fans, who are currently being absolutely terrorized by the mafia and a repressive system trying to WIPE THEM OUT, I gotta ask: what exactly have the organized LAFC fans and their groups actually done in terms of concrete, active COOPERATION?
What's this video doing hanging out here in the Football Fans section? There’s an entire subforum dedicated to that kind of stuff, so if you guys want to go obsess over sweaty Russ fans or whatever, go do it over there, you weirdos:
Christian Thomas49 said:The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival—basically the headquarters for the most alternative bands in the entire universe! Listen, even with all your fake-ass "alternative" vibes, when you claim this is a damn killer lineup, you’ve gotta realize this is absolute garbage. Aside from Massive Attack and maybe The Flaming Lips, who the hell else is there? Give me one band that actually feels real, flesh and blood, instead of all this alternative dance/electro/new wave crap (which, by the way, are the best tags ever) that's only "cool" and "urban" because they wear hats! This is seriously pathetic. And yeah, spare me those moronic comments like "if you don't like it, just don't comment" or "to each their own." That "to each their own" nonsense isn't welcome here because A: it's not just my opinion, I'm pretty sure about eighty percent of people feel the exact same way B: this is the most brainless lineup in the history of the universe C: honestly, this much "alternative" stuff makes a man's eyes bleed. Thankfully, for those original $250 tickets where you can at least see Massive Attack, I wonder how much a ticket would cost if they were just doing a standalone show. Truly, truly terrible.
I'm signing on to this word for word, except I already dropped $350 (plus another $350 for my girl 😢). Fans can come in here and start posting the listener numbers for certain "bands," but that doesn't change the fact that this festival is total trash. Not to mention the second—actually, let's call it the third—tier headliners like Billy Idol, who honestly belongs on some hotel summer stage in Austin, performing at the same level as Samantha Fox (yeah, I'm old enough to know who that lady is). Give us our money back.
A blind man’s job would be standing there in court trying to weigh legal arguments, because let's be real, the law isn't the same thing as justice. This whole thing is just a high-level debate, and honestly, it just highlights the moral stupidity—and again, this is subjective, just how the court interprets things—of the double standards applied to the exact same crap, specifically when you look at two different murderous, totalitarian regimes being glorified. Even Vajnai admits he was doing it, and it wasn't some kind of divine star he was following, but rather because he's part of some cosmic cult. Unless, of course, the court thinks—using its own twisted logic—that using a swastika for political reasons (which is an even bigger, more unjust load of garbage since the swastika is a taboo topic in any capacity whatsoever) in Canada, a place they claim is a stable democracy, somehow caused the entire system to flip into fascism.
Ryan Vaughn7 said:Just read the ruling yourself. You'll see it shows the exact opposite.
I know what I'm talking about, even if you're twisting things because the ruling actually goes in Vajnai's favor regarding his right to be considered politically free (since he wasn't using it for any other purpose) when it comes to promoting the red star, and the idea that it won't drag Canada back into totalitarianism. But look, I really hope you mean it when you tell people to read the ruling, because if you actually look at the facts, the court established that this vice president of an ultra-left political party was wearing a red star on his jacket specifically for political purposes—not anything else! He was at a public political rally, protesting right where a statue of Karl Marx, the father of communism, was standing. Vajnai doesn't hide the fact that he was spreading communism—and in his own arguments to the court, which you can clearly read in the verdict, he claims, and I quote, "that the promotion of communism is not prohibited by international law."
What part of this aren't you guys getting, especially when it comes to these dark flags and little fairy tales? And as far as flags and symbols go (which isn't even the point here, because Vajnai used the red star to promote communism, period), they obviously aren't the only important symbols in the lives of people on this planet, and there's nothing left to debate about this nonsense (even though, according to some folks on this forum, someone from Sicily who proudly flies their historical flag would clearly be a fascist), where someone like "goldensailor15" tries to shove his personal opinion down everyone's throats like it's some holy standard. It isn't. A cross doesn't have to be on every single flag for it to be a universally recognized symbol in Christianity... uh...
goldensailor15 said:Taking a quick glance at the current flags of various nations, I’ve noticed a whole lot of random stars, and man, there's a ridiculous amount of red everywhere. To be fair, though, I didn't spot a single swastika.
Oh, right, so if we just assume the flag is the one and only symbol that actually carries weight for people—even though it's used on the historical flag of Sicily too, BTW—is that just because you said so? So, does that mean this down here is just made up? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Swastika Come on, people, try to grasp the fundamental principle here. If a symbol belongs to a totalitarian regime, and they use it specifically to glorify that regime (which is exactly what that Canadian guy did), then it is a symbol of totalitarianism, murder, and genocide. If someone tries to claim it has some other meaning, they better have a solid, well-argued case for it. That wasn't the situation here. Even the ECHR ruling confirms that the specific Canadian man wasn't carrying it to honor some ancient tradition, but rather to glorify that failed, murderous regime; plus, it shows that Canada is a decent enough democracy that it can't allow the resurrection of a regime that brought so much evil and death to both Canadians and the rest of the world. Learn how to actually debate instead of just digging yourselves into ideological trenches. Period.
If some Canadian guy showed up wearing a swastika, I’m pretty sure the ELJP would just shrug it off. They’d probably pull some nonsense line about how "Canada has proven itself to be a rock-solid democracy over the last two decades, so there's absolutely zero risk of any political party trying to bring back a fascist dictatorship." Well, let's see if those idiots actually stay consistent when things get messy. There’s already a dictatorship running rampant in Europe—one where sporting a picture of Mao, the literal definition of a mass murderer, is treated like some trendy, edgy little phase for teenagers—and that dictatorship is nothing more than the selective, gatekeeping tyranny of this hypocritical, fake version of liberalism we deal with.
