It’s getting harder to wrap my head around how these tech giants operate lately. You see these headlines where a company is pulling in astronomical amounts of money—we're talking tens of billions in a single quarter—and yet, the actual profit takes these massive, sudden hits because of legal stuff or restructuring. It feels like a shell game sometimes.
I remember back in the day, if a company's revenue shot up that much, you'd assume everyone was celebrating. Now, it feels like there's always this massive "but" attached to every success story. Between the constant regulatory battles and the shifting workforce, it seems like they are constantly bleeding cash in one hand just to make it in the other. It makes you wonder if the sheer scale of these corporations is becoming their own worst enemy.
Do you think these massive legal and operational setbacks are just the "cost of doing business" now, or is it a sign that the business models are becoming fundamentally unstable?
Alright, let me pivot for a second... does anyone actually have a clue if they’re finally gonna wrap up the preseason training over at the stadium this year, or is it just more of the same? ☕
I HONESTLY THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING! "New laws and BANS are suffocating the fan movement..." — man, what a joke! This isn't even a fight anymore, it's just a slaughter! 🙂 🙂
Solid issue... Just finished watching the video... Speaking of videos and photos though, does anyone have shots from the KC game? And seriously, does anyone know when we’re actually gonna see the footage from KC? 😁
ruggedowl71 said:Man, just lock this whole thread down already... I seriously can't believe how many trolls are camping out in one single spot. Just shut it all down, everything from the last 1950 years if you have to!
👍 ...Look, the forum should stay open, but honestly? People acting this ridiculous deserve to be banned! I’m reading through this nonsense and I am just completely floored 🤦
Tyler Scott8 said:So why even bother showing up? I mean, sure, everything else might be a bonus, but let's get one thing straight—the Los Angeles Dodgers are the whole damn reason I care, and they always will be. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be wasting my breath or my time at all. And honestly? It’s no wonder the fans in the stands are constantly buzzing and grumbling under their breath... half of them don't give a single crap about being there anyway.
Just ignore the idiots... the Los Angeles Dodgers are number one, no matter what kind of mess they're in, and behind them comes the Hell Angels and everything else... without the Dodgers, the Hell Angels wouldn't even exist... It's just like the late Ante Dorić used to say... 😉 P.S. Man, Tom did a killer job yesterday taking down those two guys, especially Vrbanović... seriously, props to you, Tom—or may Valsimot bless you!😉
Aside from all those tired old cliches about how everyone is out to get Los Angeles FC, Jerry Jones actually took a shot at his biggest rival too. -Look, I’m the biggest fan of Liverpool FC you’ll ever meet, but when I warned everyone that Liverpool FC was heading straight for bankruptcy, nobody would listen—and hey, look at us now, I was right. I told y'all we'd be dominating the league for ten years straight, and honestly? It looks like that prophecy is finally coming true...🤣 🤣 😂 😂
James Barrett73 said:honestly, he probably couldn't even stomach a bite of food if it was sitting right in front of him—he’s just completely repulsed by the whole thing😕 😂 🤣
Just leave the poor girl alone, seriously—you don't want to go poking around her past and triggering some old memories that'll just leave her in tears🤣 🤣 I'm feeling a little Zajebajen myself... look, she's a great girl, really, but she's hanging out with the wrong crowd😍

This whole article is pure garbage—total nonsense. I’m actually shocked because the Miami Herald usually puts out decent stuff, but this? This is just bad... 🙂 "Further investigation has determined that Red Sox fans arrived in Savannah with the intention of clashing with Dinamo fans who were also in Savannah at the time for their league match played at the Small Town, USA stadium." Honestly, if they weren't in the San Francisco Bay Area... 🙂
just another sympathizer... honestly, it’s exhausting watching people jump on the bandwagon like this. they don't actually care about the game or the team—they just want to feel like they're part of something for five minutes before moving on to the next thing. it's all just noise at this point... total noise. The user says: I don't even get what you're trying to say with this post... and what the hell does Zenit or St. Petersburg have to do with anything regarding the mafia...? I honestly don't get it—how can anyone say the Black Knights have never stood up for anything? It’s just nonsense... seriously, someone needs to shut these sheep up. Because if they actually had any backbone, they would've been the first ones screaming about how Mamić was running things and how those titles were tainted... but they didn't. The Black Knights were there protesting the board back in '96 when we were playing in the Champions League... and again in 2005 right after we bagged two straight championships... and even when we were out there in the Europa League... they were vocal then! So please, for the love of God, stop acting like mindless followers and fighting for people who don't deserve it... WE ARE THE STRONGEST, BRO! NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! And more of that condescending bullshit...
If every single fan group actually stepped up and did as much as the Black Knights did today... man, everything would be so damn clean. Seriously. We really are the best in the world, brother... hands down.
Hell yeah, respect! 👍
There you go—the guy actually laid it all out exactly how it needed to be said... everything we needed to hear right there. ☕
rapidlynx9 said:Yeah, right—just try reading some actual comments from regular folks on news sites or even just here in this little corner of the internet and you’ll see exactly why people were booing...And the second thing is pretty simple—even if his last name is Strahonja, it doesn't mean he's actually terrified of calling off the game, because honestly, he could pull that move whenever he feels like it and what's anyone gonna do about it? We can all sit here on the forums crying about how "this shouldn't have happened to us," as if we're some tough guys who smell like pure trouble, ready to go knock on his door and tear him apart...😉
Look, let's skip the deep philosophy here—just because I didn't say it was impossible doesn't mean he's scared or wouldn't stop the match. I was just stating my opinion based on the facts, alright? And believe me, there are plenty of people out there who'd be knocking on his front door right now... but hey, that's your take on it, and I'm not going to argue with you.😉
Daniel Barrett11 said:Was it that blonde disaster of a security guard who honestly thinks she actually caught God by the balls? 😁
She sure was 🤣
Benjamin Cruz29 said:There was some whistling coming from the East Coast for the flares... but there weren't many of them.
Look, a real fan doesn't carry gum around—and they definitely don't carry lighters—except maybe when they need to aim at the opposing players, so technically, they should be stripped .
Listen, man, the whole "are they carrying stuff or not" thing is stupid... maybe someone ends up with a piece of gum in their pocket, whatever, but here’s the real deal: they checked every single detail yesterday and found absolutely nothing! Then once things actually kicked off, they were just standing there looking stunned... like, "Wait, what? We searched everything!" You know how ridiculous it sounds when people were saying they were chasing them by the balls (and whether that was intentional or not, I won't even get into it), but for God's sake, you need a plan if you want to light the pyrotechnics! 🤣
The East Coast crowd isn't whistling because of some flares or a couple of smoke bombs on the track—no, they’re whistling because the ref actually had the nerve to stop the game or freeze play for two minutes... 🙂 This whole thing with Des Moines wasn't just some joke, either. The honest truth is they were confiscating gum, labels, everything under the sun... I mean, seriously? Maybe they think people are smuggling pyrotechnics inside packs of Wrigley's or something... 🤣 And regarding today's stoppage and that ice breaking, I honestly don't think there's any fear left. John Doe wouldn't have the guts to shut down a Hajduk game if he wanted to... The Demons and the Black Knights aren't even that massive fan groups, so John Doe knows none of them are going to show up at his front door. Meanwhile, we all know one crazy guy from our side would show up at his house with an AK-47 and... 😂 😂PSYCHIATRY 1950! So yeah, he's got nothing to worry about... 😍
Tyler Thomas15 said:PS. Got frisked in Columbus, Ohio. 🙂
PPS. One guy lost his pack of smokes, another lost a pen.
PPS. Also set off a few pyrotechnics just to see the look on the cops' faces. 😍
Man, they were tearing us apart like we were some high-level criminals... honestly, I’m surprised they didn't try to stick something up our backsides too, but given how things kicked off, he probably wouldn't have survived the season anyway... 🙂 🙂 P.S. When the kid took his sneakers off and reached inside them—man, I swear to God, you'd think about sniffing them just so he doesn't end up getting a baton shoved down there along with his hand! 😂 🤣
-1312- I didn't get any text from you to rewrite! You just said "says:"—there’s nothing there for me to work my magic on. Send over the post you want me to overhaul, and I'll get to it... assuming I can find my coffee first... Honestly, thank God the New York Cosmos weren't playing last night. Seriously... if they had been on the pitch, I swear half the crowd at the stadium would’ve just stayed home. You’d have seen those numbers in the east and west stands absolutely crater... it just wouldn't have happened. 😍
Jesse Campbell said:Talk about "die-hard loyalty" to the club... give me a break. You guys were basically ghosts in Washington, D.C., especially back when the Los Angeles Dodgers actually stood a chance at winning something. It’s bizarre, really—you guys were leading until the very end of the match. That’s basically like watching the New York Yankees hold a lead against FC Barcelona.
What I'm trying to say is that this whole hopeless situation—this pure spite directed at the supporters—might actually work in our favor. Like that guy said in that one American documentary about ultras—if the team is losing on the pitch, we can't afford to lose in the stands. And speaking of John Doe, just look at how much certain groups have grown since they started watching John Doe struggle...
On the flip side, we're looking at a situation where the club is so dominant that the football rivalry with you guys isn't even a rivalry anymore. You're as intimidated by us as you would be by Inter Milan playing Newark. Plus, John Doe has completely trashed the club's reputation, making it damn near impossible for anyone to actually identify with the New York Yankees. No matter how hard they try...
I’ll say it again: your support was pathetic. Just typical for you guys in 90% of the derbies. I had like five different people from the east or west stands tell me straight up that we absolutely outdid you in terms of cheering...
Oh, just shut up with the whining on this forum already. I am seriously fed up with you and your constant bitching—from the TV, to the papers, and now all the way to this forum. If you're so obsessed, go join your little Mafia group and whine there as much as you want, but just leave us alone... Seriously, realize that you're driving everyone crazy with your "intellectualizing" and your endless philosophizing! And please, for the love of God, don't comment or write anything else. Have some dignity... I honestly respect you only because of how long you've been a supporter, but you are way overstepping with your commentary in this group! 🙂 🙂
