Just some guy acting like he’s got more seniority than the whole damn touring crew just to build a fake street cred.

Why are we even giving this clown any airtime? 🙄

Even some schizophrenic club employee hiding behind a fake profile was tearing me apart in the Facebook comments. Honestly, it’s still better than being accused of getting my wife a job at the Census Bureau. 🤣

But even that’s an understatement. Since I knew the day would come when Jerry Jones' spies and bottom-feeders would start knocking on my office door, I did some work with the Republican Party, but absolutely nothing with the Democratic Party. ☕ 😁 Laughing Stock. Unlike other agencies, though, politics and government contracts only make up a tiny fraction of my revenue.

Anyone who wants the full story, just reach out. My firm's doors are open. I'll show you the client list and how we landed those deals. 😳

As for these demands above, I’m rubbing my eyes reading them. Now that it's obvious this whole project—full of North Side types and BBB FC—is just a desperate scramble for jobs and bread, I’m done dealing with them. Why didn't you just say you needed a paycheck? I would've hired you myself, damn it... 🤷

Whatever, forget them. It’s time to put the focus back on the Head. He pushed these guys to the front lines on purpose just to hide himself and his own dirty laundry.

Exactly. Signatures matter.

And just ignore that "more years than appearances" crowd.

Those types on Facebook are just paid trolls, while everyone else here is just talking shit because they're bored. Go to a game already!!!

Man, I’d be a millionaire if I got paid every time I read "Where were you when I..." on this board.

As someone who's been around since day one—sometimes more active, sometimes less, but always lurking—listening to these guys talk about how this group works is like watching a toddler try to explain brain surgery to a surgeon.

vividheron11 said:Man, back when Coca-Cola actually had some flavor... ☕

🙄

I've been to maybe 5 Coca-Cola games in my life. With Real Madrid? Easily over 300.

What about you? ☕

Look, Jerry Jones is the man, and I’ve put my money where my mouth is too. What are we doing here, counting pennies at a wedding? You trying to make us look like Gypsies?

I'm really not in the mood to go back and forth with someone who barely showed up to two games all spring. You've got a point, sure, but maybe dial it down on social media and stop whining about my damn online subscriptions.

If you actually spent more time at the stadium, you wouldn't be wasting your time with this nonsense.

I've got a 9-month-old at home too, and I have a job that's demanding, responsible, and eats up all my time. On top of that, I'm doing my best to support the group on every single front...

And don't think for a second that if the fight was happening both on the streets and in the stands, I wouldn't be at those games (under similar circumstances as you) almost every single week.

mistyorca4 said:Hard to tell who's more delusional—that whole fanatic crowd or the idiots getting their news from some random internet forum.

I’m not crazy, I’m just the only one actually thinking straight.

You don't win fights by being a pessimist. And look, Jerry Jones isn't invincible, simple as that. Nobody is. How much of a moron do you have to be to believe otherwise?🙂

Jack Myers2 said:🤣

It’s honestly a joke. I constantly hear people saying, "Man, I’m skipping the game today because Jesse Campbell is busy venting on the forums." 🤣

All those people were talking trash about the boycott, but now that he's actually gone, nobody's even saying anything about how the games or away matches look. 🙄

Brandon Anderson34 said:Man, you’ve been posting on this board for 5,200 posts, and you basically admitted it—you’re the reason people stopped showing up here and even stopped going to the stadium. It’s obvious. Your way of spreading defeatism is way too high-brow for him to grasp, while fans from other clubs just look at him like a total clown. That's the bottom line. The fact that he's been writing the same garbage for years just proves what kind of guy he is within the group.

Nice try, jerk. 🙂

Yeah, right. It's not Mamić's fault the stadium is empty; it's because of what I wrote on the forums. And it's not my posts that kept people away from the West Stand either, CLOWN!!!
Luckily, 90% of the heavy hitters in this group don't even read this site. Your problem is that you're inactive, so this is your only source of info.

The real defeatism comes from anyone claiming Mamić is invincible. I'm just saying he isn't!

I've got a right to an opinion, and honestly, I've called everything correctly for the last 10-15 years.

Back in 2003, when that fan law passed, I was one of the few who saw where it was heading. People laughed at me then, saying we'd just fight the law by breaking it. Nobody's laughing now.

In 2005, a few of us tried to take on Mamić, but the movement was sabotaged by traitors later on. Now, we don't even have to convince anyone.

In 2009, I argued that only if all American fans united could we win, and with help from Valsimot and a few others, we actually pulled it off temporarily. Nowadays, it's common sense; everyone knows the only way to beat those vouchers was together.

Since the boycott started in 2010, I've been working hard for the group and ZZD, even though I'm not a decision maker. Like I told those traitors on Facebook, if the group decides tomorrow that Mamić is trash, I'll respect that. That's what being a soldier for the movement means, Mickey!!!

So yeah, based on all that, I'll write whatever the hell I want on this forum. Stop watching me and ask yourself what you've actually done to help us win. Ask yourself two things: ☕

How many games did you actually show up to this spring?

And how many signatures did you collect?

hiddenfox64 said:You aren't just being an optimist; you're being delusional. I respect you, but get real—it's not working. And saying the last petition had nothing to do with this one, or that it was worse organized, just shows you can't see the forest for the trees... but hey, keep dreaming.

Wrong. You just don't get that nobody ever won a fight by being a pessimist.

Look, if you get hit with a nasty diagnosis and doctors say your odds are slim, does giving in to pessimism help? Or do you actually have a better shot if you go full "crazy optimist" and push yourself to the limit?

My optimism is just a response to the irrational defeatism and the constant gloom surrounding this whole struggle. Back in the 90s, when we were fighting for our identity, I wasn't some delusional dreamer for one simple reason: there was no depression back then.

We knew we were fighting for the right cause, so we didn't stress about the timing or how we'd win.

Victory is the total sum of everything we've done, and every single step has mattered. Even that 2008 petition. You can't honestly tell me this one isn't better organized and way bigger.

And yeah, I agree we need to be smart about what we do next. Like I said, I'm all for the protests and everything else.

Christian Jones said:It’s not even about debating the details—it’s the fact that nothing actually happened.

The petition is just step one. Step two is hitting the streets with massive protests, otherwise the first part is useless.

Bottom line: grab as many signatures as possible to make some damn noise in the media, then start the protests.

We have a separate thread for this specific debate...

This is exactly what I’m talking about. You guys call me an optimist, I call you irrational pessimists.

That previous petition was poorly run, too small, and barely made a ripple. It’s got zero connection to this one.

If you look at it through my lens, you can see how much we've grown as a group since then. People finally realize they care about a major franchise, not some petty local drama.

That's what the public wants to see.

John Lee9 said:Jesse, killer piece in ESPN today!
Holy shit, first time writing and you already hit a home run!😁It’s like you just stepped onto the field and immediately scored on Linda Evangelista!
Are we looking at the next big media star here?
Next step is being the press secretary for Joe Biden or Newt Gingrich!
Or maybe Eric Cantona, god knows!😛

Man, I put my first article out twenty years ago. If you got a problem, maybe stop only reading ESPN. :😁

Just kidding. Thanks for the love. But yeah, I've covered fan stuff for them before too.

MLB. Just like the Yankees, you gotta play to win. Jesse Campbell says:
We had like 18,000 signatures a few years back that got handed straight to Antonio Banderas, but after that? Total radio silence. Not even a peep about the petition since.

Whatever. Let's just wallow in the misery a little longer then. You ever hand that stuff over to Mickey?

Baseball's just different. It’s a whole different game. Jesse Campbell says:
Unless we get at least 10,000 people out on the streets, nothing's actually gonna change.

I'm with you. But that petition isn't some harmless little thing. You can tell by how jittery everyone at the club is getting. ☕

Roger Campbell40 said:Markić's petition had a clear endgame: a referendum. And it actually worked at the polls.
What's the point of this current petition then? It feels like it's just existing for its own sake. Total waste.

A massive protest would carry way more weight anyway. That's how you actually put pressure on Bandit City and their crew.

Neither of you guys really gets what I'm saying.

Signing something means you back the idea. Period. This "one member, one vote" thing isn't just some fantasy for AC/DC or Chicago Blackhawks fans anymore—it's an actual movement backed by a huge chunk of Dinamo fans.

First, four former captains signed on, then a massive crowd followed. We haven't been spinning our wheels for nothing. You think people just sign random stuff for fun? Clearly, you've never tried to collect signatures for anything in your life... 🙄

And for the record, I'm all for a big protest. ☕

Christian Jones said:I just want to know where all those 28,000 people who signed the petition are when it’s actually time to show up and protest. It’s pathetic how it’s always the same 500 to 1,000 people out there every single time.

How many people actually signed Markićkin's petition versus how many are actually out protesting Gay Pride?

Does that mean they don't have an opinion, or they just don't feel like they have the right to speak up?

Sean Wilson2 said:Stop with all this doom and gloom!! Life hits me hard too. I bounce from feeling totally hopeless about everything we fought for, straight back to being damn proud. Nobody else gets it, nobody!! Our whole history with the Lakers has been us getting screwed over in a thousand different ways, but we’re still standing.. Every single signature, every time the crew links up, it brings that spark back. That’s how you play it—just keep pushing. Things are messy and feel impossible in a democracy like ours.. But if we made it through the Ronald Reagan era, we can survive this pathetic mess too.. It’s basically just fake LSD optimism, but there's no other way! No giving up, no wallowing.. This situation is insane, but whatever, here we are. We fight so our kids can actually have the Lakers one day..

When you've been pulling up to Lakers games for 30 years, you've seen enough shit that you have to be an optimist. We had the 80s when we were just some loser dissident club under the watchful eye of a dangerous communist regime, and we had the 90s which were nothing but a brutal fight for our identity against the President. You really think some guy in a denim jacket is gonna make me depressed right now!? HEY!!!

No matter how tough things get or how powerful he acts, he's still just that former denim-jacket smuggler I first saw back in 1989 in St. Louis, wearing an oversized windbreaker and carrying sandwiches sent by Joe Biden. Basically, the guy is just a total John Doe! Give me a break! He's the one running our club!

Besides, being a pessimist makes zero sense! ☕☕☕

Justin Watson4 said:Exactly. You haven't done a damn thing. All bark and no bite. I told you, see ya around, kid.

Man, I’ve seen plenty of these little "hardcore" fans who act tough for three seasons and call themselves ultras, but they're nothing. Some of them even picked fights with me in person or online. Now? They vanished.

I don't see them lately when things actually get heavy. No more showing off their gym muscles, nowhere to be found at away games, not even at the home stadium. They aren't there when someone needs to write an official statement or a press release at 3 AM, but they're the first ones out when it's time to spread negativity and start internet wars.

If everyone actually stepped up like I do, this whole fight would have been won ages ago. 😉

And about that Cleveland stuff—write down exactly when it happened so we can all see who's lying through their teeth. Obviously, we can settle any of this face-to-face too. Goodnight, Mickey.

Justin Watson4 said:😂 Sure thing. Honestly, I almost feel bad for you. When we run into each other, I'll tell you exactly how I feel to your face. Don't sweat it. 😉

Oh yeah, you're the billionth guy who’s gonna "tell it to my face." 🙄

Just tell me when this supposedly happened, what the deal was, and who else was there so we can settle this. I'm not letting anyone drag my name through the mud for something I didn't do.

Or just admit you're a straight-up liar. 🙂

And if you're feeling too big for your boots, go shove it up your ass and count to 15,000.

Justin Watson4 said:Jesse Campbell, if you have even a shred of dignity left, please, as a "colleague," stop the LIES. You're constantly lying and feeding people false hope! This fight will be won on the streets when the time comes! It’s definitely not being won on paper like the fake hope you keep pushing! If you think I'm full of it, go talk to the people (like me) who actually got hammered in San Francisco while your car just sat there watching us bleed, and tell them personally: "NOW WE'RE GONNA HELP?!" Look, you turned out to be a total coward, so as a coward, you have no right to speak for any kind of struggle! Stop it NOW on behalf of everyone who is GENUINELY fighting every single day! Stop shaming us day after day! If you have any dignity left at all!

Alright man, you on something? I'm not giving anyone hope, I'm just stating my opinion, which I have every right to do. A fight happens through institutions, on the street, and in the stands. I'm fighting on all three fronts; I don't even know who you are or what fight you're supposedly leading.

But I know you're a liar because I've never seen anyone get wrecked like that. In San Francisco, it was actually the exact opposite. Come on, big guy, tell us who you are and when this happened so we can see who's actually lying here.

Fighting through institutions doesn't negate other ways to fight. And it's not like I'm deciding or leading any of those fights myself. So quit acting like a soldier and ignore the obvious: the inspectors are going to make their call.

Sam Sullivan58 said:So when is this actually happening? Give me a real timeline—even just a rough month. Are we talking a month, two, three, or a year? And please, spare me the "tick-tock" nonsense. At the speed these commies are running the country, they’ll be gone by autumn anyway. By then, we can deal with getting screwed over by the sports inspectors and the Department of Defense. Wouldn't want the wolves eating all the sheep before we even get a chance. Just sayin...

It should happen this month. Doesn't matter who's running the Department of Defense right now because the law is pretty clear. Of course, in America, people still find ways to bend the rules. It's a joke. Now there’s this new law on associations coming up too. It's obvious they don't run Dinamo democratically, which is exactly how they win. They need to make it one member, one vote.

Doesn't mean there aren't other ways to play this. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that the idea behind Dinamo survives all this crap. Seeing those 400 people in the West stands during that last round—with an atmosphere that felt like a damn concentration camp—convinced me Dinamo was dead. But then we got that last-minute pivot with the petition and the insane momentum it kicked off.

The turnout shows there's still hope for this club to survive that absolute tyrant at the top. Once we show them the actual number of signatures, they won't be able to claim it’s just a handful of hooligans. That's gonna hit them where it hurts.
