Classic example of what a paid hit piece looks like. 🤦

reddrifter24 said:History repeats itself. You can see it in the thread topics here—every few months, people start obsessing over those small-town dirt tracks again, acting like it's brand new news. I’m betting you'll be the first crew in the States to get a full squad together for the off-road circuit, and you'll probably dominate for the first couple of years. My advice? Start now. It always turns out that those rural dirt trails are the most honest places to race once Jesse Campbell goes off the grid on vacation without internet access. Plus, I know for a fact the younger crowds are already hitting the gym organized like a high school varsity squad back in the day. Go ahead, yell at me if you want. I’ll just pull this post up in a year or two when I'm proven right...

cosmicridge6 said:Going up against the Terror Machine is like bringing a slingshot to a tank fight. Seriously... they jumped 200 of us in their own city, and you're acting like if we don't swing a bottle or a chair, it’s somehow "honorable" to just end up in the ER?? Stop bullshitting. I’d never want anyone getting seriously hurt after a scrap, but let's be real, that's how it goes. Do you even know what those guys look like? Or how they train? Their workouts are basically MMA fighter level, I'm not even exaggerating... So what, our 200 guys from the coast averaging 165 lbs are supposed to go toe-to-toe with them? That's stupid. If someone challenges you to a field fight, sure, walk away—that ain't your style. But if they jump you in a plaza and you've got bottles and chairs right there, you're gonna hit back. No matter how much people hate us, what you guys pulled off in Poznan was legendary. I wasn't at that fight the night before the game, but anyone who was actually there knows the Bad Boys held their own, while the Lechovacs were hiding most other days... It's easy to talk trash about this and that, but what you did in Poznan made you number one, period.

mistypanther20 said:man, what we’re seeing in this video isn't even a fight. It's just people throwing chairs from two feet away. If that counts as a brawl nowadays, then good for them.

A few things just clicked for me, and now my head is spinning watching this. Every "fight" in our scene is just people hurling stuff—chairs, bottles, flares, rocks. What's next? Snipers?

Wait until there's a victim, then this whole forum will start acting all high and mighty about morality. Look, some things just need to end. If you're gonna scrap, do it like a man or stay out of it entirely.

urbanbear45 said:I get what you're saying, but I'm not talking about some viral clip or stadium inventory. I’m talking about people throwing rocks at defenseless fans—like when someone mentioned that "fair play" crap. You can't just shrug and say "well, things have changed in the last 25 years..." like that makes it okay.
☕just editing my post

urbanbear45 said:So this is all about "improving the scene," right? Is that how we handle pro football too? Just asking "what changed lately..." and then deciding there's no point in even trying 🙂

The issue is intelligence. People think following the crowd is some brilliant move because they assume other groups will act the same way... basically, everyone's a coward. They overcompensate until it’s time to actually stand up for something, and then they take the path of least resistance—which is usually just pure stupidity since nobody gives a damn about them anyway. And you know what? No one in their own circle will call them out on it, even though they’d tear a rival group apart for the exact same thing. Cowards on one side, hypocrites on the other. 🙄

mistypanther20 said:that’s the only thing actually flying.

They’re throwing chairs and tables from three feet away.
And now, in today's "fan culture," people call this a riot. It’s pathetic—just like those idiots who wore four stripes on their gear just to hurl rocks at a rival group from ten yards out, or those clowns tossing stones from the grass onto the bleachers the other day. That’s the peak of our fan scene: everyone stays quiet until someone actually dies, then suddenly everyone's posting "RIP," acting like saints at the funeral, offering condolences to families and friends... meanwhile, nobody said a word when the chaos was happening. There's too much of this crap. My bad, I shouldn't have linked this video.

Just wondering how 😕 🤷

neonraven112 said:You can't separate this whole Jerry Jones mess from politics. His downfall is basically a political move at this point. Once politics starts coming for you, there’s no running away. I don't see Ostojić's angle yet, but look closer—if certain groups are scoring points off this, it just means they've gauged that the public is totally over Jerry Jones. That's a win. Honestly, we tried too hard to stay "above" the politics in our own fight, which probably just slowed down his exit. It’s a longer, harder road, but at least it’s cleaner.

here's the press release for Friday:

Jesse Ramirez3 said:the old BBB forum was peak 😂😂

then things stayed decent for a while. even with all the kids joining, at least Ivek and Argentino actually tried to teach them something 😉 (not saying people don't learn stuff here now, just saying)

James Ruiz57 said:Screw those photos, just show up to the games if you want the real deal. 🙂

neonraven112 said:I was skeptical about this arrest at first—honestly thought it was just some PR stunt to rally the die-hard football fans. But now? I think he really screwed himself. Not a single news outlet is going to touch him now. Remember how everyone jumped on the bandwagon when pundits were trashing religious groups? Then they crossed a line with certain sensitive topics and suddenly, poof, they’re persona non grata. Maybe it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but as a public figure, you step on one wrong landmine and you're finished. He’s lost his media and political shield, and it's over. In this country, the actual people don't even matter anyway.
