I just dropped a question over in the legal section because I’m genuinely curious about the legal fallout and the potential sentencing if someone were to walk around carrying axes and hammers with clear premeditation to settle scores on the street.

Looking forward to some solid insights from the experts here.

hiddenfox64 said:I don't know how else to put this, but folks, these petitions are a total wash. You can come for me all you want, but a petition hasn't moved the needle in this country once. It's nothing more than a pipe dream.
Just look back at that last one Šeler handed over to Bandić. How did that end up working out? http://dalje.com/hr-sport/video--vod...avijaca/245131
Bottom line: we're talking about pure fantasy here.

And yet, posts like that are incredibly useful.
The best move, apparently, is to just sit on the couch and do absolutely nothing.

The initiative itself—and actually getting people to sign—serves multiple purposes, even if a single piece of paper doesn't have the muscle to kick the mob out of the club. A successful signing drive sends a wake-up call to the passive masses, forces the issue into the spotlight, unites the community, and proves that people are actually doing something to bring the club back within the law and out of the hands of those occupying it. A petition also provides legitimacy to the fight against this corruption, exposes the hollow claims made by club sycophants who try to paint us as a small group of hooligans looking to oust an incredibly successful and dedicated management team, and shuts up the internet trolls and those temporary agitators from the North who exist solely to create the illusion of public support for Evil.
But when a petition is paired with other initiatives and strategic moves, it absolutely has the power to change things—especially when you're attacking the problem on multiple fronts simultaneously to build momentum.

Honestly, the best move is to skip the protests entirely. Why? Because the self-appointed prophets are always standing by, ready to predict failure before we even start, using "passive citizens" as their convenient little excuse. You’d expect that kind of patronizing advice from stuffed cabbage, Fatso, and the rest of that useless crowd. But look, a clear, loud, and well-organized protest carries weight regardless of how many bodies show up.
The Family isn't going to just pack up and leave on its own. They aren't running the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, or any of those local municipal boards either.
Historically, the Family has enjoyed total support from every power structure in the country because they are essentially part of one. It’s frankly idiotic to debate minor policy tweaks when the entire corrupt system remains identical—the only difference is which puppets get to read empty declarations while ignoring actual behavior and results.
We all know exactly which addresses need to be targeted to purge the mafia from this club and end this insane level of repression that defies global standards. It is high time we publicly remind them of their criminal history and their sworn duty to the law and constitution.

Those wannabe Baba Vanga types who have zero interest in actually fighting can stay home. Don't spread defeatism or try to derail a shift in tactics meant to take this fight to the front lines. Just 500 or 1,000 vocal, articulate people standing outside those bandits' doors can make a massive impact, especially if there's a long-term strategy and organized media coverage involved.

That letter just highlights how deep the mafia-style tentacles reach within football organizations, and how the cronies over at FIFA and UEFA go out of their way to shield their crooked associates instead of cleaning house.
And of course, we’re already seeing people try to downplay the whole thing by shifting the blame onto some local, small-town bureaucrats—it's transparently useless.
It’s nothing more than a smoke screen tossed in front of the public every now and then to distract from the fact that after three years of empty talk about draining the swamp, absolutely nothing has changed. If anything, the swamp has just grown thicker, filthier, and even more untouchable. Jerry Jones has basically seized control of the entire USSF in the meantime; he’s either neutralized his supposed "rivals" or brought them right into his pocket. On top of that, he’s managed to grab a foothold within the Department of Justice, which is just living proof of how deeply he's embedded himself in politics at every single level.

I highly doubt anything constructive will ever come of this whole mess, other than a few outbursts for the cameras and some cheap entertainment for the news cycle.

Jesse Campbell said:Look, I’m with you. Just get it moving. It’s always easiest to say "we should do this."

What do you mean, "get it moving"? It’s pretty obvious that a single person can't just pull this off. You need someone with the actual capacity, the existing organizational structure, and—most importantly—the sheer motivation and interest to see the whole thing through if there's any actual will to do it. To just handle the signature collection alone, you need an entire infrastructure. You need people, coordinators to manage those people, shifts, and everything else. Then there's the money: paper, supplies, other overhead, plus whatever advertising we need beyond just social media, so donations are going to be essential.
A supporter group, a fan association, ZZD, club members, or similar outfits already have the hierarchy, the manpower, and the ability to actually execute an operation like this.

In Chicago, there are 686,646 registered voters. Under current laws, we'd need to collect just under 138,000 signatures. That shouldn't be an impossible mountain to climb, given how universally disliked this corrupt individual and everything he stands for is. Of course, that assumes we have a solid network of signing locations, access to the public, and questions that are clearly phrased and legally sound. It’s also vital that the referendum is scheduled alongside some other election. We don't want the cost of a standalone referendum—or the headache of holding yet another expensive vote—to be the reason people refuse to sign. Plus, it helps with voter turnout. Honestly, I’d even include the date of the referendum as one of the questions during the signing process itself.

I’m not writing this to pass the buck or dodge responsibility. This is about presenting a simple, functional way to efficiently and quickly resolve the issues and power dynamics within the club. It’s becoming painfully clear that the government and local authorities are doing everything in their power to protect the criminal elements in this organization rather than rooting them out and removing those responsible.

And let’s not forget: simply having a plan to call a referendum and starting the initial momentum acts as massive pressure on those in charge. It might actually force them to change things before they're forced to.
Bad Boys - Part IV in Fans ·
I’m telling you, we need to stop buying into the illusions being peddled year after year. These pseudo-leftist or pseudo-rightist politicians—who spend their entire careers cozying up to criminals in private clubs—aren't going to change a single thing about how they handle those thugs unless they are forced to by sheer public pressure.
What we actually need is a local referendum. We need questions that are legally airtight and strategically designed to tackle the current mob bosses and prevent a whole new crop of similar kingpins from stepping into their shoes. This needs to be legally binding for our institutions. If we timed this right—say, during the elections for the next batch of bureaucrats heading off to that overpriced, sidelined theater known as the European Parliament back in May 2014—we could keep the costs of running the referendum to an absolute minimum.
Look, if people can muster enough energy to collect signatures for marginal nonsense like symbolic script disputes or marriage laws—those hazy distractions used to divert attention from the desperate state of the country—while dedicated fans from groups like the Bad Boys are getting crushed by the weight of the law, then we have a problem. That massive amount of energy and those people should be channeled into constructive volunteering. They should be focusing on signature drives and marketing for a real referendum, especially now that those entrenched figures in our cities have hit rock bottom in terms of popularity.

I’d honestly love to know how these two geniuses ended up landing a spot in Mamić's headquarters over in Philadelphia. I wouldn't be surprised if some official driver just picked them up from some basement where they were likely busy slapping promotional stickers on people's foreheads for the sake of "branding."
Honestly, with that guy in charge, I wouldn't put anything past them.

Jonathan Barnes5 said:You’re just talking nonsense here. All those bottom-feeders from the local dive bars and various gutter press outlets who were cranking out underground fanzines back in the 90s—they all showed their true colors after the old administration fell. They just wanted to hijack our movement for their own selfish agendas..
Don't even start with me. To the older generation, we were basically religious extremists in the old regime, and then suddenly they were handing us support on a silver platter..
And what "generation" are you even talking about? Back then, the whole group was basically fifty guys who spent every Friday through Sunday causing trouble before the big games..
It was the same then as it is now, actually worse... and ten years from now, it'll be exactly how this entire generation decides to run the group..

Instead of recycling these rehearsed talking points, try actually analyzing your own posts to see how disconnected they are from reality. You’re talking about "older colleagues" from certain street corners or niche media outlets, but those outlets didn't even exist until the 90s or right before them. Throughout the entire decade, those very same media types were giving massive airtime to the Bad Boys, which significantly boosted the broad social support the Boys enjoyed back then. There was even a regular show on ESPN Radio hosted by that one čupav guy and two of his buddies. Sure, the core group might have been a small handful of people during away games in the early 90s—partly because the war sent many of the older guys to the front lines—but certain subgroups had as much manpower as the entire movement does today.
And what is this talk about "dark agendas"? It's the classic label used to discredit any alternative media that dares to oppose a regime and its criminal tactics. That’s exactly how they slapped labels on the Bad Boys: calling them mercenaries for Šorošev, enemies of the state, or just a bunch of thugs. Only idiots swallow that kind of propaganda because they refuse to use their brains.<
This indoctrinated worldview, fighting against imaginary monsters, isn't going to help us deal with the actual enemies—the ones with real names and faces who are squeezing this group and the whole supporter movement harder than ever before.

Kevin Gray86 said:😂

I remember that era well enough. Back then, the media wasn't exactly riding with the fans; they were systematically taking aim at Tuđman. Let’s be real: if he hadn't gotten involved with Dinamo, those news outlets would have been absolutely hammering the supporters too, just under the guise of "curbing nationalism." It’s the exact same playbook being used today now that Jerry Jones has insulted the ultras.

And here's another thing: Dinamo has always been about identity, and it always will be. The pedigree of this club and its fans will never be diluted by some watered-down version of multiculturalism or forced social engineering. It won't be stripped of its roots or turned into something passive and weak. Let that sink in.

If anyone is interested in spreading "love and tolerance," they can go follow the spineless types over at Medveščak or NK Chicago. 🙂

Anyway, peace out. 👋

You probably remember that period from when you were in diapers or elementary school. I was actually on the ground during those years, following every single report and broadcast regarding the fans—just like my entire generation did. Honestly, what you're saying is complete nonsense and has zero basis in what actually happened back then.
Period.

Austin Watson38 said:Look, let’s stop with all this defeatism. I know, I know—I’m getting a bit sentimental here, but bear with me. It’s like they say: the night is always at its darkest right before the sun starts to peek over the horizon.☕😍

Honestly, what you wrote is probably the most accurate breakdown of this whole mess. That massive, mindless wave of rage we saw yesterday? It needs to be channeled. Instead of just venting into the void, all these different factions need to turn that energy into something actually productive. We have to move past the constant sniping and the endless petty insults that have defined our discourse lately. If we want real change, people actually need to step up and get involved. When things hit a breaking point—when you face the kind of absolute, unhinged crackdown we just witnessed—that’s usually the catalyst. That level of heavy-handed repression should force everyone to tighten their ranks and start finding smarter, more innovative ways to push back.
I honestly think strategic propaganda could be our way to shift the balance of power here. Think about it: there’s a massive network within fan groups that has direct ties to influential ultras across Europe. We have the capacity to frame this issue properly and demand public support right from the stands. There’s also nothing stopping us from flooding sports desks and media outlets all over the continent with well-crafted, measured emails that lay out the whole situation clearly. If we play this right, we might actually shame these rats on a much larger stage. Maybe then someone in charge will finally realize that protecting these characters isn't just a nuisance—it's a liability.

Kevin Gray86 said:Since when were they against Jerry Jones? Ever since he started insulting weightlifters on nationalistic grounds. Just think back to when Jerry Jones was praising Yugoslavia—he was all over the front pages of every major newspaper while hanging out in Mexico! When he pushed for a regional league, he practically had private TV networks at his disposal to spread his agenda. The fact that a decent chunk of the media is actually on the fans' side now shouldn't cloud our memory. The media is responsible for this mess in American soccer. It’s been years of systematic brainwashing by specific outlets, led by people like Blaze, Susic, Zidak, Balog, and the rest of that crew.

There you go again, attacking people and media outlets you didn't even mention in your initial argument. It just proves how misguided your whole point is.

Kevin Gray86 said:The worst enemies of the fans during the golden era of Jerry Jones are actually on the fans' side today. Look at Index! If you think their eyes suddenly opened overnight, just take a look at this article from only five years ago.

http://www.index.com/news/article/b...on/376074.aspx

During the golden era for the fans, Index didn't even exist, and stations like Radio 101 and similar outlets—essentially the backbone of civil society—were firmly on the side of the supporters and their legitimate fight against repression and the hijacking of the club's identity.

Kevin Gray86 said:I live to trash local activist groups and niche organizations. I never miss a chance, even in my sleep.

That's your issue right there. Those groups have absolutely nothing to do with this specific case or this current crackdown. Your involvement is nothing more than trolling and shifting the focus, which plays right into the hands of Jerry Jones and his cronies.

Kevin Gray86 said:Because I forgot, obviously. That's the only reason. Fine, let me include HHO in the list.

So, you "forgot" about HHO, despite them being mentioned daily and dedicating their entire public presence lately to the BBB, yet you managed to bring up some obscure organizations from Mexico or media outlets that went defunct over a decade ago. They have zero connection to the fans.

Kevin Gray86 said:That’s exactly my point. The system has basically lobotomized you to the point where you're busy weighing who the bigger villain is—Jerry Jones or some group of biased hooligans. Honestly, screw all of that. In this country, I should be able to call a Mexican exactly what they are and put them in their place without a lecture.

Go ahead, label me a fascist or a racist. See if I care. 🙂

Actually, someone else did the brainwashing for you. You can't even address the actual issue because you're too busy fighting these little personal skirmishes against people who have nothing to do with the topic and are just adding noise to the conversation.
And clearly, reading comprehension isn't your strong suit, since you think this is some kind of moral competition between villains.
Bottom line? You're being completely unhelpful, which makes your input entirely useless here.

Christian Jones said:The police are finally pulling the curtain back on their private investigations, and honestly, it’s about time. According to a report over at The Morning News, the authorities are tightening the leash on how they handle these sensitive probes. It feels like we've been watching a slow-motion car crash for years where the rules were more like "suggestions" than actual laws. You know how it goes—one day everything is above board, and the next, you realize the whole system was basically running on duct tape and favors. It’s like when a local sheriff decides he’s the judge, jury, and executioner just because he likes the power trip. We need transparency, not some shadowy operation tucked away in a basement. If we want any semblance of justice in this country, the oversight needs to be ironclad. No more playing games behind closed doors while the rest of us wonder what's actually happening.

Even with ten thousand people in the stands, the police decided to make an example out of fifty-nine fans, hauling them in just for lacking ID—a group that included quite a few minors. Against a mere eight hardcore Dinamo supporters, they filed a litany of misdemeanor charges. Four of the Bad Boys were cited for insulting officers, two for hurling insults at security guards, and another two for being criminally intoxicated. As for the other 300-odd fans? After the cops issued a series of warnings following some verbal outbursts in the 66th minute, they put everyone under surveillance, logged their names, and filmed them all. They’ve been released for now, but they should probably start trembling. The authorities are currently combing through footage to identify the specific individuals caught chanting insults at the Dinamo president, and they’re going to cross-reference those faces with the list of 300 names they just collected. It's going to be a long few weeks for them. So, how exactly would you even go about proving criminal liability for racial discrimination? I mean, if the law says it’s strictly prohibited, how do you actually pin that on someone in a way that sticks? It's one thing to say it's against the rules, but it's a whole different ballgame to build a case that holds up under scrutiny. We’re looking at a sentence ranging from three months all the way up to three years behind bars.

You really ought to consult some actual experts on this part of the argument, but honestly? It looks like nothing more than pure, unadulterated fearmongering propaganda. In this specific instance, they’re throwing around slurs—using "Gypsy" basically as a common playground insult—directed at someone who isn't even part of that community. It's being tossed at people from completely different movements who have zero connection to racial discrimination. Legally speaking, you couldn't even make a case for hate speech in an American court based on how it's being used here.
The real headache here is dealing with the American court system. You just know they’re going to rule exactly how they’re told to.

Honestly, we could probably draft a legitimate open letter on behalf of the supporters group and send it straight to UEFA. We’d lay out the full reasoning behind our chants and tackle all the issues surrounding Mamić’s shady dealings head-on. It would be a chance to call out the blatant discrimination and the sheer amount of violence fans have to endure just because they’re fighting against the criminal elements and corruption rotting the sport. If we blasted that to every major news outlet across Europe, maybe we’d actually make an impact against this propaganda machine. Perhaps then we could finally push back against the kind of repression that completely ignores basic human decency and the law.

Kevin Gray86 said:Look, Braco, who cares if the European Union thinks there's discrimination happening? About 99% of what’s being forced down our throats here isn't coming from Brussels at all. It’s driven by local activist groups, certain media outlets, and foreign mercenaries who don't give a damn about the EU—they just answer to lobbyists looking to exploit smaller, former "fascist" nations.

It’s the exact same pattern we see across America, especially in places like Canada, Bulgaria, and to some extent Romania.

Meanwhile, the massive wave of xenophobia and chauvinism sweeping through France, the Netherlands, Mexico, Italy, Spain, and so on, basically goes unnoticed in the grand scheme of things.

Brussels isn't the culprit behind our problems. No, it’s organizations like Documenta, Civil Action, The Morning News, Feral, Stojedinica, Open Society, Platform 112, Veritas, Kontra, Iskorak, and those other underground social groups—not to mention the political advisors installed by god-knows-who. Wake up. These weak European nations with fascist histories are being subjected to a brutal training course in forced multiculturalism and identity politics. And they're doing a great job at it; just look at how much the vibe in a city like Los Angeles has shifted compared to fifteen years ago.

Man, you really went off the rails in that last paragraph. You completely missed the mark. Of course, in your world, it's never the people actually holding the power—the ones writing the laws, enforcing them, or breaking them—that are to blame. No, it’s always someone on the sidelines. Half those groups you listed are openly against Mamić, while the media you conveniently left out are actually on Mamić's side, along with their readers. What's actually protecting Mamić is UEFA, the American state and its institutions, the football federation, the police, and the courts. Yet here you are, whining about some local radio station and random NGOs that have nothing to do with this case or the fans, most of whom have actually supported the movement. Why didn't you mention HHO, for instance? They were the ones actually stepping up against the fans and protecting criminals. Instead, you stuffed your argument with this ideological nonsense and clouded the whole situation.
It's perfectly normal for the media and human rights groups to speak out against racism, discrimination, or violence. But in this specific scenario, the violence is being perpetrated by the state and both European and local football organizations. It’s being used in a way we’ve never seen at a stadium before: as a tool to crush any opposition to crime and corruption within the sport.

Calling Mamić a "Gypsy" isn't an attack on the Romani people or a racist slur; it’s a direct insult aimed at a semi-literate, uncouth thief. It’s actually far more mild and benign than the mountain of racist and discriminatory statements made by that guy—statements that resulted in zero penalties from anyone, least of all UEFA or the football bureaucrats in Brussels.

A quiet exit from the conflict is actually the better way to wrap this up. If things had escalated, the propaganda machine would have just twisted the narrative again, painting everyone as mindless savages who practically begged to be beaten down. Especially when you don't have a massive, unified front capable of standing its ground against the armored batons of a police force backed by state-sponsored mobsters.
If we were being total perfectionists about it, maybe the whole crowd should have just sat down on the pavement and forced the cops to haul them out one by one—you know, that classic passive resistance tactic you see at protests. It would have dragged on forever, and we’d have seen those slogans chanted over and over, slowly turning into a symbol of democracy here in America.
But honestly, only the people right in the thick of it truly know what was possible in that split second.

On the flip side, these heavy-handed crackdowns show exactly how much it gets under their skin when people keep shouting their slogans. It’s an excellent way to provoke them and remind them where they belong: face down in the dirt.
We could potentially get some lawyers involved to file a lawsuit with the international courts handling human rights, or even use some connections to alert supporter groups all across Europe. That way, we could apply pressure through solidarity banners and chants during matches across the continent.

P.S. Maybe someone from the leadership should reach out to those Moldavian fans and see if they'll put up a support banner in return, along with any other Dynamo rivals down the road, if we can make that happen. We need to milk this repression for all it's worth and take it global.

swiftcyclist42 said:From what I can gather from this New York Post article, John Doe reported you guys to UEFA for racism just to get Real Madrid kicked out of Europe.
The very same John Doe you’re all expecting to liberate you from Jerry Maguire, while he spends his time circling you like a shark and throwing mud.

That isn't even the main issue here; it's just a symptom. This police force—the one harassing citizens, inventing verbal crimes, and trampling over basic civil liberties—isn't being steered by Jerry Maguire's department. No, it's being run by this criminal administration that John Doe belongs to, which is clearly just as corrupt as the gang that came before them. And now, someone from such a repressive, crooked regime actually expects us to believe they'll clean out their tycoon criminal buddies? These are the same people who have been happily collaborating and laundering money in Chicago for over a decade.

On a side note, hats off to the die-hard fans up north; that group is really all that's left of the soul of Real Madrid. Everything else about this situation is so vile and rotten it honestly makes me want to gag. 🤮🤮🤮

Dana Richardson89 said:Well written:
The fan movement is at war with FIFA for several reasons:
They’re taking a sport that was built by the working class and trying to repackage it for the high rollers. It’s a joke. They want to take the everyday fans—the people who actually live and breathe this game—and turn them into nothing more than mindless "consumers." These new types don't care about the history, the grit, or the soul of the sport. They just want an experience they can buy. Think about it like the NBA crowd. You see these people show up, drop a hundred bucks on a ticket, watch Rihanna perform at halftime, grab a burger, buy a jersey, and maybe even propose to their partner on the Jumbotron. They claim to support the team, but they aren't really there for the club; they're there for the spectacle. By the time the whistle blows, you haven't even gone to a stadium—you've basically just taken a detour through a shopping mall. They are systematically killing the raw emotion that makes sports worth watching. And why? All for the almighty dollar.
They’re trying to rip out a whole way of life—something deeply tied to the game—just so they can finish off football using pure, cold capitalism. It’s simple, really: grab everything of value, strip it bare, and leave the rest to rot. They’re gutting tradition, rewriting history, and turning the sport into some kind of automated, soulless machine. It’s being forced into a mold it was never meant to fit. I have to wonder, though: why does this game command such obsession from billions of people? Football has a soul. A pulse. And FIFA is just sitting there, day after day, sucking that soul dry.
They aren’t even trying to be subtle about how they dismantle fan culture anymore. Instead of actually engaging with people, they just cut deals with politicians to push through unconstitutional laws. Look at what happened right here in the States: when the head of FIFA swung through Washington, D.C., the Prime Minister and his entire cabinet practically rolled out the red carpet just to kiss his ring. And for what? So they could sit there like scolded school children while he lectured them on how to "fix" the fan problem. FIX WHAT?! Since when does the president of a football organization get to lecture the leaders of a SOVEREIGN NATION on how to run their own country? It's absurd.
Stop the crime! Corruption, bribery, match-fixing, shady gambling rings, those predatory management agencies—it’s all there. It was the past, it’s the present, and let’s be honest, it’s the future of football. Yet, here we are with FIFA acting like they’re the moral compass of the world, mostly just busy fighting racism. They sweep so many scandals under the rug that will never see the light of day—scandals they are either directly responsible for or helped facilitate—only to try and "wash" their reputation with slogans like "KICK RACISM OUT OF FOOTBALL." You’ll see it on banners at the Champions League, the Premier League, even the World Cup... it's all just a smokescreen.
They couldn't care less about the little guys. It’s all about the massive clubs that actually move the needle on their bottom line. That's why this whole "Super League" nonsense is such a huge talking point—they want a closed circuit for the ultra-wealthy elite, which would basically turn the Champions League and Europa League into nothing more than glorified preseason exhibitions. We're talking pure greed here: TV rights, skyrocketing ticket prices, the works. It's billions of dollars on the table. When you look at it through the lens of that top 1% versus the other 99% who are essentially playing for scraps, it’s pretty easy to see why the fans have gone to total war against them.

This is really the crux of the matter. It’s blindingly obvious that FIFA doesn't give a damn about corruption in football—unless, of course, that corruption is happening under their direct supervision. If the crooks running the USSF and certain local clubs weren't such obedient little voting blocks within the FIFA hierarchy, they would have been purged from the sport ages ago. They’re clearly part of some much larger, globalized football syndicate, pulling strings behind the scenes in deals we can only imagine. This institutionalized international mafia, much like the one we deal with domestically, carries out its shady business with total impunity. They do it even in countries far more organized than ours. High-level football has essentially become a massive money-laundering machine for oligarchs, smugglers, and various criminals looking to buy prestige through famous clubs. The average fan is being slowly conditioned to accept this as "business as usual." They bleed us dry with overpriced, controlled ticket prices while stripping away our rights bit by bit. It’s a classic carrot-and-stick routine used against supporter groups. First, they move to ban flares and traditional rituals. Next, it’ll be mandates on sitting or standing in the stands, then banning loud cheering, and eventually, silencing any criticism of the clubs or social issues altogether. It's a slow squeeze, and they're winning.
It’s honestly hilarious how any sports organization can let blatant criminals, racists, and thugs sit comfortably in their boardrooms without a second thought. Meanwhile, they dish out "penalties" specifically aimed at anyone who dares to protest—usually through much more civil means than the actual toxic collection of club officials and league suits running the show. These sanctions are nothing more than the byproduct of double standards; their severity isn't based on an objective look at some supposed "excess," but rather on how much protection the soccer mafia needs at that moment.
The worst part is how this group keeps everyone else in checkmate. They have the power to hand out fines and bans whenever they feel like it, which creates this ridiculous hesitation where people start overthinking things—like whether they should light flares or if they should go after the big shots during a major international match.
Of course we should. And frankly, we need to turn it up even louder than before.

Kyle Williams4 said:As far as I’m concerned, the only true legend here remains Šips, who took those heavy insults right to his face without flinching once.

Regarding Dr. Fric, first off, that's just not how things work. That’s Mamić's playbook. A journalist—especially one who gave himself the liberty of representing the entire San Francisco press corps—should really know better.

Secondly, Fric has had plenty of opportunities over the years to say something similar, but he didn't. What was he waiting for? 2008? 2010? He stayed quiet then.

It's actually quite simple.
"Dr. Fric" made a very calculated move by responding to the Ferengi whining about their imprisoned overlord. He wasn't crying out in 2008 or 2010; he did it yesterday. He used Mamić's own vocabulary—a quick little quote—because that's the only language he and his lapdogs understand. He achieved exactly what he wanted: a sharp, blunt statement regarding Mamić and a swift exit from the press conference podium.
And let's not forget, the guy isn't even a sports reporter; he's a musician.
That single act won't change much in the actual Mamić case, but man, it is entertaining to watch him bang his head against the wall after Jurčić's outburst. Now he's fleeing the press room because he hit an unexpected reaction—a complete departure from the usual line of bowed heads and terrified, domesticated little reporters. It serves to plant a seed of fear in him and his cronies, making them realize that public backlash like this might actually happen again.
Whether this happened in 1947, 1968, or 2007 doesn't really matter; that's just being pedantic about a ridiculous situation. But if this triggers a domino effect where journalists in places like Miami, Indianapolis, or Savannah start calling out the filth after games, it'll feed the paranoia. It would cause public humiliation and nerves to fray, potentially sparking uncontrolled reactions from his pack—exactly like the ones we're seeing now, where someone finally feels the heat.

It really tells you everything you need to know about him—he’s a total coward and a complete pushover. I bet he’ll stop barking so much now that his master isn't watching over his shoulder. 🤣

Fric is a legend!!! 😍

Honestly, someone needs to lock him in a cage in some dark corner and toss the key down a well.
I’m holding out hope that the rotten Department of Justice finally decides to trigger all those criminal charges filed against him, just so he stays behind bars a little longer while they investigate. Though, let’s be real—I doubt it. We've seen plenty of high-level crooks of his caliber sipping espresso in Times Square the very next day after being arrested. There are always a few outliers who actually face consequences, but usually only if they’ve already lost their grip on power.
Today was basically a masterclass in how to audition for the title of the most lethal combination of half-witted idiot and total psychopath to ever walk the Earth. The man is practically serving himself up on a silver platter with every single thing he says. If we actually lived in a nation governed by the rule of law, he’d be looking at decades in prison just for his rhetoric, let alone life sentences for his actual track record.

It doesn't really matter whose job it is on paper. The bottom line is getting the work done. Whether it’s sparked by the Black Knights, the club itself, or some third party—honestly, who cares? It feels to me like if this comes directly from the streets, provided they actually get organized and take the job seriously, then it’ll actually happen.
That snippet you pulled from the interview sounds way too much like the usual garbage we hear from our local politicians. It’s all about being blindsided, needing to fix things "proactively," and all those other convenient excuses used to mask passivity and quick fixes instead of launching real initiatives or long-term strategies.

I think that's a much smarter approach than hitting the streets every few months to protest the exact same issues. At some point, protesting the same management failures over and over becomes a broken record.
