Shame on them... I don't think we need to waste any more breath talking about those traitors here—they aren't worth the headspace. And honestly, let's just mind our own business and stop sticking our noses into other people's affairs...
That drug-addled Jerry Maguire is trying to use that disgusting, old-school TV Guide propaganda from the early 90s just to smear the Bad Boys. Honestly, this guy is hitting rock bottom... I don't think any sane person would fall for these kinds of cheap shots.
Check out this new infrastructure they've put up at Dodger Stadium right above the away section just before the big game against Dynamo. http://oi61.tinypic.com/nwd5cm.jpg
Everything is laid out above, but let’s be real—there are always two sides to every story... No one can honestly tell me they haven't seen him at games over the last 18 years. I've been traveling for away games for nearly two decades now, and I haven't spotted him once. Not even once. So, what kind of fan is he actually...? 18 years is a long time to be absent. And now, people like him are trying to start these "Veteran" associations (which, let's face it, are funded by the club's front office) and all that other nonsense. They're splitting the group into different factions just so Mamić can bring it up in every single interview to stir the pot in an already messy situation. To claim you're part of the BBB when you haven't shown up in years... honestly, only someone who isn't right in the head would try that. I mean, props to everyone for the trips we used to take across the old territories, but you can't live in the past forever. It seems like some people just refuse to accept that times have changed. One thing I am certain of, though, is that this whole situation completely broke him. Between that and his family issues... the man didn't just die; he took his own life because he couldn't cope. From the few times I actually spoke with him, he seemed like a genuinely decent guy. I truly don't understand what has to happen to a person's mental state to make them act the way he did in recent years, only to end up like this. I can't help but feel that if he had just chosen the right side back when he had the chance, he’d be a living legend today instead of a dead mercenary.
Let the old ways rest in peace, because honestly, after everything that’s gone down over the last few years, I’d love nothing more than to spit in the face of those sellouts. The man went from being a legend to a complete joke and a traitor, much like the crowd of people who stood by him and then turned their backs on the very group they once called home. They haven't shown up to a single away game in years, yet they still have the nerve to peddle this story that they’re some kind of Bad Boys legends or "true" fans. It’s just pathetic, really—nothing but bottom-feeders.
It feels like they’re really targeting the younger generation; their whole strategy seems built on making sure as many young people as possible just give up and check out. That's my take on it, anyway.
Richard Barrett16 said:I’m honestly just asking this out of pure curiosity to see what kind of explanation I might get. About two weeks ago, I was heading down towards the local community center early in the morning, and right there in front of the building, I saw this old guy getting out of his vintage SUV. He was dumping about fifteen plastic beer cups all over it—the entire hood and windshield were just drenched in beer. He had the truck parked right in front of the association headquarters.
In that moment, I found myself wondering: Is all this massive outcry against the Bad Boys actually justified? What did the old man really do wrong? Is this how the "protectors of our neighborhood" are supposed to act?
I’m not trying to judge anyone here; I’m genuinely just curious to hear what you guys think. In my mind, I still can't quite wrap my head around it—it just doesn't seem like the Bad Boys would ever do something to damage a fellow citizen's car. Or am I just fundamentally misunderstanding what the Bad Boys are all about?
That’s a really great question... honestly, I could ask the exact same thing whenever we head to a game and the crew starts acting wild on the light rail, smoking, and just behaving like total idiots... It’s just the way it's been for years. It wouldn't have mattered if he’d parked in front of a bar or a nightclub instead. The thing is, it’s incredibly hard to reason with people when they’ve been drinking. How are you supposed to explain things to a group of ten young guys who are drunk and pouring beer over a car or leaving trash everywhere, especially when they spend their weekends singing about being the protectors of our part of town? It’s nearly impossible. Your only real options are to get into a fight with them or just walk away. If anyone else had done that, nobody would have blinked an eye—just some guys having a few drinks and acting out. But when someone who identifies as a Bad Boy pulls a stunt like that, they look like complete morons. That’s how it looks to the rest of the public, and I don't think that perception is going to change anytime soon. Alcohol is a nasty thing...
IMPORTANT!!! Over the next few days, some major things are going to happen in our fight against Mommy. The most critical thing right now is for everyone to do whatever they can to reach out to people and get them down to the stadium. We’re finally reaching a point where the goal is within our grasp, so we need to give it everything we've got now instead of sitting around regretting it later. Call everyone you know who used to be part of the group or just loves the blue colors. Send texts, shoot some emails, hit them up on Facebook—whatever works best. Everyone needs to step up and get involved starting this Sunday.
Folks, you really need to get signed up for the club as soon as possible. Honestly, seeing the list of people who just joined up today over at Mustachio's place really made my day.
wanderingtrucker9 said:Can someone please fill me in on that group up in the North Stand? I recognize their banner from that documentary they were in, but why did they end up splitting off from the rest of the supporters?
Honestly, it’s not even worth typing out a long response about guys like those in the North Stand. If you look at certain names involved, they might seem a bit out of place or even strange in this whole context. Some of the things they've pulled lately are just unbelievable given how they used to act in the past; you'd never guess some of them would actually go down that path. But looking at everything they've done recently, it's nothing but a disgrace to the club... I'll leave it at this: the money will eventually be spent, but you can't buy back your integrity once it's gone.
Anyway, see you all in Columbus, Saturday, around 7 PM...
The guy is just speaking broadly about what it means to be part of a supporter culture... it doesn't have anything to do with BBB specifically, but it’s clear that as a fan himself, he really gets the struggles and the headaches we deal with.
