I'm not sure if I caught your drift entirely—look, if you actually have something personal to say, just hit me up next time we run into each other in person. But if this was just some general commentary, honestly, just let it go and forget I ever said anything.

If some guy from here decides to head abroad 622 miles to go pick fights with Russians, Mexicans, Poles, or whoever else, I’d honestly rather just stay home—you need actual backbone and the will to follow through if you're going to play that game...
But honestly, I've seen enough to be totally over it since the last time the CIA was running ops in Savannah about ten years ago.😁

Just regarding this report coming out from those pro-Russian types...
After all the prep work these enthusiasts did for weeks just to face off against the NFL fans—not to mention the folks who hauled themselves through ten hours of travel just to pick a fight with them—does anyone honestly believe they’d write anything other than a report stating they got absolutely crushed?
I can just picture someone in Chicago trying to write up a detailed breakdown like this about some random group of tourists, and if that report ever hit the internet the next day, they’d be laughed at as an idiot for the rest of their life.

wtf 😕
This went down just the other morning—a cruise ship pulls into town, the streets are absolutely crawling with tourists... I was there right when it happened, honestly just lucky a few guys happened to be hanging around to witness something that lasted maybe five seconds...
it's just a shame they didn't take out those two Roman idiots too,,,

Raymond King47 said:Look, when we actually suggested doing something about it, everyone just turned on us—saying we were too deep in it now, that we didn't care about the mafia or the thieves running the USSF because we were finally sitting at the top, so why bother boycotting or whatever... I’m not saying it wouldn't have been different if things hadn't gone that way, maybe... I just want to say that we fans are absolute hypocrites and total losers. While these scumbags are screwing us over and playing us for fools, we're busy laughing at other people's problems and cheering for random garbage games while they mock us and the entire league. We're pathetic, really. We don't deserve anything better than this.
It's the most tragicomic, ridiculous league on the planet—and the fans? Even more ridiculous.
Man, we'll be back up in a few years... but the mindset is just pure middle schooler stuff. Like a bunch of kids in a classroom with a teacher they can't respect...
It's just a cycle of nonsense, over and over again, forever. 🤦

Adam Rodriguez7 said:p.s. I don't know how many women were in the stands last night—for a second there, I honestly thought I’d wandered into a Michel Tel concert.
Classic 60-something 3
Whether it’s at a Lakers game, some random office job, over at Milwaukee, or even watching teams like Inter, Brescia, Atalanta, or those guys from Feyenoord and Zenit... you see the same thing. It’s always a crowd of women. They just gravitate toward where they feel welcome—maybe the Chicago Blackhawks fans are basically just a Michel Tel crowd at this point.🤷 Just some pop star🤷 nonsense🤷 that someone once called "mainstream."🤷 Even back at the old stadium in '88, it felt like a damn pop concert.

Honestly, just when everyone started blowing up my notifications, this popped up—perfect timing 😁
So, I just stumbled onto this whole "history of the Black Knights" section over on ESPN.com and it got me thinking—who actually wrote this stuff? Like, who’s the author here? How long has this been sitting on the site? Who's even running the show behind the scenes lately? Feel free to just shoot me a DM if that's easier.

The hatred really kicked off when you lot started cheering alongside those guys from the Bronx against the Cleveland Guardians during that cup final in Belgrade—selling flares to the very same people you claim to despise, along with those crowds from Sarajevo and whoever else was in the mix, leading right into those massive riots in '88 and the smaller ones in '90.
Back in the day, when we were heading down to Cleveland the old-school way, the animosity was always there. During the early nineties, through all those little away trips, we’d cross the water and let me tell you, it was never exactly a pleasant experience. You’d get off the ferry at 7 AM, those massive gates would swing open for the cars, and you're just stuck there waiting—the game isn't until 8 PM, or you've got a ride back to Chicago at noon—all while dealing with constant drizzle, fog, and general crap. Then you'd catch some random bus line heading toward the coast, and that was the routine until the early 2000s. The last group that used to make that trek constantly was the Park E.M. crowd, and there was always something going down in Cleveland. After that, the cops started cracking down, setting up checkpoints everywhere before reaching the city. The younger generation coming out lately travels in these organized packs without even knowing what they're getting into; honestly, to me, you look more like some average, modern Italian ultra group. And after all these years, you haven't actually achieved anything. So, how exactly are people supposed to respect you? It's not like you even show up in Miami anymore... though there are still plenty of older fans who hate you more than the Chicago crowd does—which is probably the biggest compliment you'll get, aside from the few who genuinely loathe you, while the kids just treat you like some mid-tier local rivals.
Things change, I guess... these days, there are people (the younger ones) who hate the establishment more because of how they act in places like New Orleans than they ever will hate you, which isn't exactly a compliment either.
Anyway, I've been to Cleveland a million times; the people (who aren't part of the ultras) are fine. I always had a good time there, especially the local eateries.

Now we’ve reached the point where you’re actually complaining that the younger generation of fans doesn't hate you—they just treat you like some minor nuisance on the way to a game in Des Moines. Unbelievable... honestly, how are they supposed to hate you when you’ve basically ceased to exist? Ever since the police started cracking down on away crowds about a decade ago, you guys have been ghosts. The "new ultras" are just some tiny little group standing behind the goal at the stadium, showing up to away games in pathetic numbers and never actually making an attempt at anything. Most of our younger crowd just follows the routine: bus to the stadium, bus back, police everywhere, and that's it. How can there be any hatred? It’s just a bit of singing at the stadium and then everyone goes home. Besides, there’s always been this weird tension between us and the Chicago crowd anyway. These kids feel closer to the teams from the South than they ever did to you.
Back in the chaos of the eighties and through the whole nineties, you guys were at the top of the food chain when it came to that hatred. I know plenty of young people who still hold more resentment toward the Cleveland crew than they do toward the Los Angeles Dodgers—and that’s still true today. Both the club and the fans.
You're just a typical home-team group. The big rivalry between Cleveland and the Cleveland Guardians only really matters when it's played here in Cleveland. Half the time it turns into a great matchup, whereas in Miami, it’s always a blowout against teams like Varteks or whoever.
