I run into my students at the games all the time, and they always tell me they never would’ve even shown up if I hadn't passed on this obsession with being a die-hard fan—so yeah, it actually works.

Why are you guys attacking the guy? He laid out his proposal, and sure, maybe it’s not totally realistic right this second—but sooner or later, when things go south and we actually need to rebuild the group, we're gonna need ideas like this. A high school outreach project is one of those absolute necessities. That's when the supporters and the club can finally team up on promotion, hitting up schools together to talk about the passion for the team, the beauty of being a die-hard fan, and all that stuff.

Honestly, those whole multi-sport club setups never really clicked for me—I used to follow Boeing and Medvescak and even the Lakers back in the day, but I was always way happier just sticking with Dinamo.

Look, any kind of compromise with the big boss right now is basically a death sentence for this group—so quit the mindless chatter and stop feeding into those media provocations meant to trigger him.

Seriously, if the guys in the association just drop the time and location for the next hangout, you can bet we'll be there.

And all that crap they're writing about how "lucky" we are to have beaten you guys? Screw them. Seriously, screw them. They're a tiny minority. "Old boys"? Who even are they?
Now I'm heading straight over to their board to start some drama.
You nailed it with that post. Man, I've been through hell and back—last Christmas, I actually ended up in a French prison, so believe me, I know what real struggle looks like.
I'm 44, and I've been hitting games since '83. I was there when the first BBB trans happened, and even though I'm currently sidelined, trust me, man, I'm not the only veteran on our side of the fence.
There are way more of us real ones than those whiners, especially once you hit 40.
Let them talk. You guys played your part perfectly. Hats off to you.

I think there's this totally wrong narrative floating around that only the younger BBB crowd is standing up against Mamić. Just look at those comments—when I was traveling all across the South, those kids weren't even born yet. It's true that the younger generations are leading this charge, but there's a huge group of us over 40 right there with them. Maybe one day we should all team up—including the old-school guys who used to be in the front lines but aren't active anymore—just to completely smash that myth.

Way to go, guys. Honestly, Jerry Jones is terrified of seeing this kind of solidarity—it’s actually working. We’re gaining momentum now because people who actually care about the game are finally paying attention. Trust me, don't spend a single second feeling bad about walking away from that circus. If the Kansas City Chiefs had won today, that guy wouldn't have even thought about leaving. This unity is going to be his downfall. The team can be as strong as they want, but that clown will always find a way to screw everything up.

So, I got pulled over right in the middle of the street yesterday around 10 PM—screeching tires and all that nonsense. They were grilling me, asking for my ID and running my record to see if I had any priors. Then, get this, they actually asked if I’d been at the game. Once they realized they couldn't pin anything on me, they just let me go. Honestly, I'm only posting this because there's nothing they can actually do about it. Just imagine what they'd do to the guys who are actually front and center at every home game and most away trips, instead of pulling over someone like me who hasn't been part of the main crew in ages. My parting shot to them? "What would an intellectual like me even need that for?"

I’m dropping the payment tomorrow. Honestly though, this ruling could actually be a huge win for our lawyers trying to take down Mamić. The logic they used is that Mamić wasn't inciting racial or national hatred—he was just expressing his own personal beef with Jovanović. It’s basically the same thing as us calling someone a "big head"—we aren't out here trying to spark hate against any specific group, we're just taking a shot at one guy's ego. If we lived in some perfect rule-of-law utopia, none of this would matter, but we need to flip this verdict and use it to our advantage.

Look, I came in through the south entrance, so maybe security was a bit more lax over there—but honestly, who cares? The bottom line is the cops knew better than to mess around because they could see a massive crowd forming. Numbers matter, plain and simple.

Honestly, props for today. But man, the crackdown we’re seeing at the smaller games is way more intense. We had some outsiders with us who were basically looking at us like, "Wait, you guys deal with this crap every single week?" And honestly? Fair point. It wasn't even just the verbal abuse—we didn't have people being filmed or getting hauled off by the cops because of Mamić's nonsense. It feels like the higher-ups are actually getting spooked by our numbers, trying to make sure we don't show up in force. If we want to keep this movement alive, we seriously need to beef up the crowd.

Alright people, we need to put out a joint statement so nobody falls for the cops' provocations this Sunday. It looks like we’re all gonna be stationed over on the East Side together—and man, I’m telling you, there’s gonna be a massive amount of undercover cops planted in the crowd just looking for any excuse to start a riot. Let's get ahead of them and call out their little game to the public before they even try anything.

Look, there are basically two ways this goes down... either 1. We play along with this whole voucher scheme—which is just a blatant attempt by Acaba and his cronies to kick us out of the stadium—or 2. We do everything in our power to absolutely wreck them.
Or, you've got the idiots who think they can win this fight by sitting on their hands, refusing to cooperate, and staying quiet. Total nonsense.
This is a direct hit on Acaba and the football mafia, and now the ball is firmly in their court. Some people get that—and some people will be the last ones to sign up just so they can talk trash about me.
We all know exactly who’s been trying to drag my name through the mud, and look where they ended up. But hey, maybe there are still a few of those clowns left lurking around.

You nailed it. You said exactly what needed to be said.

Rest in peace.

If we actually had some objective journalism around here—like if a real newsroom or a TV station actually gave a damn—they’d have sent a reporter to the stands to sit among the fans just to witness this blatant violation of human rights firsthand. This is the first article of its kind, and it’s coming from a paper that’s basically on the payroll of the big shots. Looks like the power dynamics might finally be shifting, though. Honestly, it would be pretty genius if the ZSD or the Bad Boys sent out a press invite to the media, essentially tricking reporters into showing up disguised as die-hard fans just so they could write an exposé on what's happening.

Here’s just one example of what we could actually pull off now that the big boss is gone. We could organize meetups between fans and players across different neighborhoods and cities—but nope, we can't do that because the big guy won't allow it. We could set up stalls with all our gear and promote BBB right in front of high schools. Or bring in some North Side legends to talk to the kids about what being a true fan is actually about—though with the current crackdown, even that's basically impossible. We could also start winning over the media through charity work, showing the world that we aren't terrorists, just regular people with families and lives. Stuff like that.

I feel like I’ve been called on quite a few times to explain why there’s such a massive "supporter mentality" takeover happening in the city lately—mostly because my job puts me right in the middle of it, chatting with kids and seeing things firsthand. Honestly? Today's kids follow soccer, sure, but they couldn't care less about the MLS; they’re too busy acting like die-hard Real Madrid or Barcelona fans. They don't have that deep, emotional connection to Dinamo like we used to. Even their parents—the ones who grew up going to games—think the whole scene around American soccer is just a joke, so they just stop taking them to matches out of pure inertia. Then you've got the BBB crowd being labeled as nothing but hooligans causing trouble, mostly because that's all people read on news sites or see on TV. That’s basically the consensus right now from both the club and the BBB, and man, it's tough to shift that mindset. But look, once the big boss finally exits the picture, there's going to be plenty of room and enough ideas to flip the script. I'm not being a pessimist here, believe me.

I honestly can't believe how sneaky they are—just like every other shitty politician out there, they’re twisting the whole situation to suit themselves. They couldn't care less about people's basic rights or the fact that taxpayers are basically funding their little social experiments. And now, just like that, they think they've "solved" the issue of gang violence at football games in the US by using vouchers. What kind of country are we even running? Honestly, the worst part is that our own people are just going to roll over and take it.

Look, we’ve all already established that our numbers are pathetic. I tried to rally my crew from the neighborhood, but honestly? Total bust. Eric Phillips52, what exactly is the end goal here with spreading all this negativity? If you're having some kind of mental breakdown because our numbers are so low, go find a therapist or something—there are plenty of specialists out there who can deal with your issues. I can't help you, other than promising that I'll be the one starting the next thread on the East Coast. That's about all you're getting from me.

So what if it’s a total disaster? Does that actually change anything in your fight? Jesse Campbell is right—there is zero point in sitting around whining about it. We have plenty of people on our side, and we're done with this whole "woe is us" routine. Honestly, Mamić loves it when we act defeated—it plays right into his hands—and that's exactly why I’m not going to spread that negativity, even if it's just a few of us left in the stands.
