Good grief, the sheer level of insecurity here. Hilarious.
As long as you and people like Apostle12 keep debating and obsessing over the city guys, I know one thing: the city crowd remains massive. 🙂 Coming from someone who isn't even from the city... how pathetic is that?
Thomas Williams59 said:Wait, looking back at the last few pages, people have been arguing over football as if it matters. Was anyone actually brawling over sports during the war years up until 1995? People mentioned 1993—when the whole country was on fire, half a million Americans were displaced from their homes, and a third of the nation was occupied. Back then, the main lifeline for the Mediterranean Coast was a single shelled pontoon bridge. What a joke. When you're a young man fit for service, your only job is defending the Homeland from total annihilation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not preaching, but who on earth cared about soccer or fan riots back then? Absolutely nobody.
The guys from the Wildcats answered your last question in their posts above.🙂
gentlebison72 said:The numbers were just as messy a year earlier, back in mid-'95, when maybe 300 to 350 Bad Boys showed up in the southwest stands. Still, it was a massive jump compared to the fifty people we saw limping in for years before that. Of course, you can't compare that to the trains and buses in '96 when there were probably over 2,000 people at the Rose Bowl, but wasn't it nice to finally see a sea of banners on the fence and 300 people actually standing behind them after all those dry years? http://www.zaslike.com/files/zmkmt2j6eq27hofycyu.jpg
Taylor Williams28 said:The Red Army fans opened my eyes. Your only hope of cleaning up the stain on the BBB name is to wait for the perfect moment to strike back. Wait for the Red Army to let their guard down. Don't go looking for trouble where you aren't expected. Be patient. Let two or three opportunities pass. Then, when the Red Army is playing somewhere unexpected in Europe, hit them hard.
However, I fear they will scatter you like rice. The Bad Boys lack the physical conditioning of Americans or Mexicans. You don't train. You drink. You do drugs. And most importantly—the reason everyone will always walk all over you—is because you need to change the group mentality. But that’s impossible, isn't it? You would have to change the entire mentality of Chicago, especially the neighborhoods. Most of the Bad Boys are idiots. Those local neighborhood crews are dead. They vanished because of xenophobia, jealousy, envy, resentment, and whatnot.
BBB will never be like Torcida or the Red Army as long as these guys keep abandoning one another.
One problem arises in the neighborhood and everyone abandons you. That is Chicago for you. It used to be different. Today, everyone only looks out for themselves. BBB isn't a group. It's a collection of individuals who couldn't care less about their friends. You need to embrace the outsiders instead of casting them aside. You lack strategy. You lack tactics. I was recently reading how certain Russian hooligans study the tactics of Hannibal to win their clashes. Does anyone here even realize that until the modern era—meaning antiquity and the Middle Ages—95% of casualties in battle occurred when an army attempted to retreat?
Where are you when it comes to fire, formation, tactics, and strategy?☕
You've become a disgrace. People in Chicago laugh at you. If they laugh at you there, imagine what the rest of the world thinks....
Thomas Flores7 said:I know. That day at the club felt like a fever dream. If memory serves, the crowd inside was so pathetic they’d probably rather undergo a rectal exam than be filmed by some random guy. At least that's how the idiot described him. 😁 Prince is actually a decent guy, isn't he? Especially compared to the pack of losers who spend their lives glued to the TV.
Why on earth did Ronculin and that other guy bother showing up for this show about the Philadelphia Eagles fans?
Scott Jones9 said:It’s just like that movie You Carry Me. We all know who’s pulling the strings behind the money, and let's be honest—the whole thing is nothing but pure propaganda.
Honestly, maybe you should stay away from movies altogether. If that's how you interpreted this one... what can I even say?!
Can someone enlighten us mere mortals? Is this actually significant, or just more unproven kids making noise? Lesic turned them into absolute nothing.🙂
I was watching the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Los Angeles game recently—you know, the bottom-feeders on the standings. Aside from winning through pure robbery, they wasted a solid 30 or 40 minutes just chanting about "high furnaces," "we love Mamić," and "we love the mayor"... then to top it all off? They finished with the classic "I hate Real Madrid." 🤣
Eric Phillips52 said:You’ve repeated this twice now, so I’ll give you an answer since you’re so damn persistent. How do you not get it? You claim to have "active friends," so why haven't they explained this to you? Ninety percent of the people in that DC activist group are getting screwed over constantly by the Mamić-police-judiciary triangle. It’s all rigged. People receive pre-planned bans at perfectly timed moments just to shut down the entire operation. Get it? Mamić cuts deals with the cops on how to act, then moves on to the judges to tell them how to rule. As a result, the police track the core group everywhere—even when they're just grabbing coffee—just so the courts can slap them with restraining orders. As for the rest of that DC crowd, ninety percent are either waiting for jail time, blacklisted, or under active injunctions. Most of this happens over trivial, non-existent issues suggested directly by the police—or rather, by Jerry Maguire. And yet, you and your lot have the nerve to come here and claim the DC base is failing? Are you insane? The real failures are those of you who lack the guts to actually fight and instead just watch from the sidelines. Regards.
I’ll say it again... the issues with visiting the stadium started five or six years ago! Nobody talks about what's happening right now. I know exactly how things work. Believe me. For small games, the DC crew needs to show up, along with anyone else willing to support. That’s my point.
Criticism is progress, and that’s exactly why I’m posting here. I realize how difficult it is to squeeze any potential out of this group given the current circumstances... What’s happening at the stadium is unprecedented. Life isn't black and white, and the issues facing the Bad Boys aren't solely tied to Jerry Maguire.
I wouldn't know; I'm out of the loop. I told you I think boldtiger7 dropped the ball, but why or how? Who knows. It’s highly likely, though. If BBB has 1,000 people showing up in Nashville or 700 in Phoenix, yet only 250 in the Midwest in a week... who exactly failed here? The point is, BBB's numbers didn't start tanking yesterday, and Mamić isn't the only one to blame.
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I thought this was an open discussion where people were actually allowed to share opinions and respond to others. xD
Thanks for the breakdown... plenty of guys here stay active, so I know how things work. The low turnout up North didn't just start overnight; this has been dragging on for five or six years now. I don't feel like digging through old photos, but you probably remember what those crowds looked like at the smaller games—and even some of the big ones. For a group like yours, it’s underwhelming. If you want my honest take, I’d say the main LA Lakers fan base dropped the ball because the local chapters are still as loud and present as ever from what I can see. Just to be clear, I'm talking about the "smaller" matchups, since it's not easy for out-of-town crews to make it to every game in the city. I know I might be talking nonsense, but sometimes reading this forum gives me the impression that any dissenting opinion is shut down immediately. As if mistakes aren't being made, or simply won't be admitted. There are definitely people who feel that way... but does that diminish the importance of your group or the fight you're putting up? Not a chance. And 95% of the fans have your back! Best of luck!
