I'm talking about those ridiculous, theatrical rules—like assigned seating or banning people from standing in the aisles. That’s been standard practice in the West for ages; in Chicago, it's relatively recent, and the rest of the country hasn't quite caught up yet. But they will. It's just like how Pride parades hit the big cities first before eventually making their way down to places like Miami.

Standing in the aisles is banned at the stadium in Miami too🙂—at least on the east and west sides🙂. They don't have the guts to send security into the stands to clear them out on the north side, much like how certain parts of the south side of the Rose Bowl still let people linger in the walkways. (In fact, Juventus often gets slapped with heavier fines for aisle standing than they do for flares🙂...

Two pieces of advice for your next trip through the airport: watch the corners for any shady characters, and maybe stay away from the drugs. 😁 😂
Mamić, watch out for those guys!!!

Can we take this to DMs?

Joshua Moore31 said:Out of all the brilliant posts on this board, I had to pick yours as the prime example. You claim to be a "force"? In what sense? Would you agree with me if I said you're just a fan club that lives and dies by the scoreboard? Would you agree that when you concede a goal, you suddenly have 250 people in the center stands? If you actually lost the Cup, there wouldn't even be 1,000 of you in New York City this Sunday—not even with your student section of the Raiders making up 60% of the stands on certain days. Why act like you've conquered the world after one successful trip to New York, when just a few months ago, there was zero presence in Newark or Columbus—not even a single flare lit? You aren't a force, kid. You're just fans existing by coincidence, without any consistency.

😂 Look, the self-appointed guardians of New York have arrived. Forget those "guardians" when their own student section screws them over in their own city every single game, and they can barely pull two buses down from Miami. 😂 😂
So, you're actually trying to lecture us on what defines a fan club?

🙄 For those of you who half-support Real Madrid while simultaneously wanting them banned... half-cheering for goals, half-acting like tough guys...
You stopped being real fans the moment you ended the boycott. 😉

The streets are telling a different story lately; maybe it's time you guys actually put in some work.

What kind of information?

Let’s be real here, Ford isn’t going anywhere just yet 😕 Liverpool FC still needs to hammer out the details with him, and I suspect he’s going to walk away with a massive payday 😲

Jesse Campbell said:Exactly. Mamić's power came from the institutions protecting him, not from the people. Now, he's finally losing that grip.

And the photo? 🤷

Jesse Campbell said:We’re the toughest in the universe because—take me, for instance—some middle-aged intellectual gets hauled off by the cops at 6 AM, while basically all the other influential groups from the old neighborhood are just notorious criminals who get a free pass...

That’s why we’re the strongest. ☕

Because we've been in a Fight with the system for 25 years, not with any other groups. You people don't even interest us... 😉

They arrest you because you've been lying for 25 years straight😉. Your posts are—to put it bluntly—kind of like looking in a mirror without your glasses and seeing Brad Pitt instead of some middle-aged, out-of-shape guy from the suburbs!

My advice? Get some rest after work!

Casey Gomez3 said:Laura Mitchell87 never actually wanted to be an intellectual; his family basically forced it on him. He spent his youth dreaming of being a street hooligan in the gritty parts of Washington, D.C., back in the nineties. But let’s face it—to be a true urban gutter rat, you actually have to live it, not just be some semi-wealthy kid with a trust fund.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

And the Oscar goes to .....🤣

Jonathan Lewis3 said:Yeah, right... "young boys" or whatever crap they're calling it now.

I think it was Fort Lauderdale before, right?!!!😁

electricpanther37 said:How is it that not a single one ended up on the tartan? Any compensation, or were you all just too lazy to throw them? 🤷

Look, at least we weren't lighting things on fire on the way to the stadium like you guys were, using lighters to torch your scarves. 😁 🤣

Jeremy Torres17 said:Happy birthday. 🙂

I’ve always said the navy loves us!😍

Hi there!
My gums have been acting up for a few days now. It feels inflamed—nothing looks obviously swollen on the outside, but the sensation is incredibly uncomfortable.
I can’t even bite into something firm, like an apple. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any idea what might be causing it?
Thanks!

George Sanchez76 said:You’ve all been brainwashed by this "cult of personality" nonsense. You honestly think there weren't people in the stands before him? Are we all just mindless sheep following a leader blindly? Get it through your heads: he isn't the point. Other things matter more. If he offers public support, I won't take it just because he backed someone else. I couldn't care less about that. I’ll give my full support the moment you prove you actually know what you're doing—when you show that your actions will bring a new dimension to this group, rather than just making changes for the sake of change or individual ego trips. You practically begged for it, if I do say so myself, but you haven't been able to pull it together in ten days. Why? Is it because it hurts too much, or are you just incapable? Or have you placed everything on one man's shoulders, and now that he's gone, you're lost? Why blame us for the division when we offered an olive branch on the condition that certain things be clarified? Or did you think you were chosen by God to lead this group, expecting us all to just nod along to your "visions" without ever knowing what they actually are?
One last piece of advice. In situations like this, talk directly to the other side to get the facts. Don't rely on one or two people to relay everything to you. They might forget something, misunderstand it, or—if they're being malicious—leave out key details. Either way, you end up missing information that could be vital.
I've written more than I intended, but fine, since everyone thinks they know everything, let them read this too. I'm sick of all the nonsense regarding kids, casual fans, fights, and cheering—none of which is even relevant here. Everyone acts like a hardcore ultra, yet half of them don't have a clue what they're talking about!
"In this world, evil mostly reigns, and stupidity holds the final word!"

Who are YOU, and who are THEY?

That guy who isn't here right now? He's a true fan. And no, I didn't just jump to that conclusion—it's my opinion based on seeing his actions, whereas most of you have given me nothing but empty words. 😍

Once "You and THEY" (as you call yourselves) realize that the Chicago Bulls fans aren't some marketing firm centered around money—which, let's face it, is what everyone cares about 🙄—and that the club isn't just a membership drive but a place to hang out and meet people, then maybe we can actually talk about a real supporter movement!

Casual fans have never been the problem. Thank God we have them; we should always have them. The problem lies within us—we don't have a cohesive fan group, just a bunch of individuals, as you've already proven over the last ten pages.

That's it. I'm done commenting on any fan topics! 😉

p.s. Honestly, it's pathetic to see so many of us on this forum instead of heading out to a major game. 🙂

Anonymous said:I'm reading this and I just can't believe it. 😁

The main thing is, some of you were being incredibly cynical when I wrote 5 or 6 weeks ago that you'd soon be going through exactly what we went through ages ago.

You’re simply five years behind us. Everything you're dealing with right now? We lived through that back in 2007—and well, everyone knows how that ended. That's what's coming for you.

And just to stir the pot a little: our issues started when certain people (who we successfully got rid of) began hanging out at weddings and parties with Mamić. Recently, half your group was at that Kerum family wedding, stuffing their faces alongside Nevenka. 😈Are they mercenaries like UV or what?

Anyway, please, keep it coming. It's a total pleasure watching this slow-motion train wreck. 😁

If you're actually as informed as you claim, then there's no need to even compare the two. They weren't eating from the same plate, nor did she pay for her meal; she was just a guest, much like "half the group" (and you're wrong there too, since only the closest friends were present).

Your problems are yours, their problems are theirs—so just leave ours alone!
And if you're going to publicly claim you've fixed your issues, you're lying to yourself. You're living in an illusion you built in your own head, because you aren't even close to being a real fan club.☕

Calling yourself a fan and actually BEING a fan are NOT the same thing!

In both this season and the last, we’d head out to away games from Miami in just two vans—always the exact same crowd. That’s what a real group looks like.
Everyone knew each other, old timers and young guns alike (though there were fewer veterans back then)....
If we're defining what a "group" actually is, it isn't about raw numbers or hitting a hundred people.
A real group is built on trust. It’s treating one another like family—like your own mother or siblings—and showing up for each other every single day, not just on Saturdays and Sundays!
And all this talk about us being "outcasts" or the best in Europe? Cut the crap. Let's be real: we aren't even top tier in the German second division compared to anyone else from the North America. 🙂!

As for marketing and all that other nonsense, that's a completely different conversation. ☕

fadedtiger8 said:Can someone catch me up on the Knights? Has a new administration been picked out, and what's their actual policy...

The Democratic Party is in power. As for the Knights, they've leased everything out to Vanilla. 🙄

The assembly should be convening shortly...

Jerry Patel66 said:Fair enough. Look at it this way:

Police usually just do their jobs. Same goes for doctors, teachers, bakers, etc.—I won't drone on forever. Most people are just doing what they're supposed to do. Only people who are completely out of their minds would try to slap a label on an entire profession. That’s my take, anyway.

Don't get me wrong—I've personally dealt with my fair share of unfairness from the cops during or around matches. But it doesn't occur to me to get angry and claim everyone is the same. They aren't. I know that from firsthand experience.
Let's not be hypocrites. Let's look back thirty years and ask ourselves: why is there even police presence in the stands? Because we were handing out flowers to each other? Give me a break...
Every consequence has a cause. I vividly remember when you could practically do whatever you wanted in the stands, or even around them. No one was whining back then. Now that the opposition (the police) has rallied, organized, and struck back—suddenly, over the last few years, everyone is crying, wailing, filing lawsuits, and shouting about human rights.
We’re all being hypocrites here. We asked for this, and now we're getting it. The supporter movement in America is nearing its end because nothing was done when it actually mattered—three or four years ago, when repression was looming and the groups actually had the numbers and the smart people in charge to organize. Back then, anyone suggesting we defend ourselves against group shutdowns was called paranoid. I remember those meetings well. Now, suddenly, miracle of miracles, that "paranoia" has become reality. I'll leave it at that—yes, police usually just do their jobs.
Sure—fans are responsible for 70% of police reactions. What a performance. What a joke. How did the police even get dragged into the conversation regarding fans? It happened for a reason over time, I suppose. For that remaining 30%, the fans aren't at fault at all, and those are the cases involving serious legal violations by officers.
Like that example of that kid being beaten on Saturday...
But let's not be hypocrites... and there is plenty of hypocrisy to go around.

They usually do their job, sure, but specifically toward the fans. No one complains or cries—well, at least not me. They stick strictly to one part of the law that needs enforcing, while ignoring the rest....

They target us because we're the weakest link in the country and because we've already been convicted in advance (by both the public and the justice system).

Ehhh, you gave me a partial answer.🙂 😉

Jerry Patel66 said:Which part are you struggling with? Do I really need to spell it out, or am I supposed to be a hypocrite like the people you're calling out?

I don't get it either. Care to enlighten me?

"I have nothing against the police; most of the time they just do their jobs."

For a second there, it sounded ironic to me, but clearly I was wrong. So, please, explain to me—where exactly is the police force doing its job?

At the games?
In Miami, there are at least two robberies every single day, and I can tell you that in 90% of those cases, they never even find the culprits!
So, I don't follow your logic. Please, explain where they are actually performing their duties?

Celebration of a villain's downfall. We'll have cake and ice cream when Jerry Jones finally goes under—maybe even hire some dancers to celebrate his exit!!!😁
