Fine. I’m really hoping someone actually starts tackling this mess soon. Has anyone even considered a class-action lawsuit? It makes zero sense for us to just hang our heads and spend our afternoons sitting in local pubs while those corporate suits sit comfortably in their VIP boxes, rubbing their hands together at our expense...

Seriously, nobody?

Just pick a team and ask them directly.

My head is spinning from all this graveyard talk...
As if they wouldn't just toss me right back onto their watchlist by default.

Has anyone from the banned list over in Indianapolis actually tried getting their hands on tickets for the big rivalry game?

It’s the same logic, really. If they handed out bans to everyone who was hanging out in the north stands in Indianapolis—regardless of whether those people actually broke any rules or just happened to be standing where the insults were coming from—then by that same standard, the same thing should have happened during the Salzburg game. If we're following that reasoning, the insults were coming from that same section, so technically, every single member of the BBB fan club should be on that ban list just for being caught there...

The attorney certainly laid everything out clearly, but we can't just stop there. Has anyone actually considered filing a class-action lawsuit regarding the fact that fans are being blocked from entering the stadium?

neonraven112 said:The leadership is failing us completely; they’ve got a network of corrupt players looking out for one another while everyone else just watches. You can try digging up dirt on the top guy all you want, but honestly, I doubt anything would actually shake his foundation.We really need to be looking at the man at the top instead of wasting our energy on the little minions who are just following orders.

The real issue here is that we need to focus our attention on the very institutions that allow this kind of inhumane behavior to happen by protecting the leaders and their subordinates.

The whole point of those scumbags is to clear us out of the North Stand, and frankly, they need to be taken down a notch.

Look, I respect where you're coming from, I really do, but have you considered the fallout? These folks planning to storm the North Stand will likely end up on some permanent blacklist once the dust settles. It seems like the administration found a way to exert control because they’ve lost their grip and are basically on their deathbed, but it raises a question: should we, as the vocal opposition, just blindly swim into their net just for the sake of being stubborn or starting a fight? In my opinion, there are much more intelligent ways to show our defiance without walking straight into a trap...

Right now, we really need to show some solidarity with those who have been banned. It feels a bit hypocritical to just stroll into the stands when so many of our brothers from cities like St. Louis, who traveled here with the noble goal of putting an end to this administration’s tyranny and honoring the guys who took hits for the cause, are stuck outside or watching from their living rooms. I completely agree that we need to take this to the legal authorities, but since getting that kind of organizational momentum going takes actual time and effort, I think we should handle this match as a show of solidarity by gathering right outside the stadium with clear messages and a firm stance.

Steven Kelly35 said:So here’s the deal—I just called the club box office to see if I could grab a ticket, and they told me no go. Apparently, if I want to argue about it, I have to take it up with the front office since they're the ones who issued the directive to the staff.
When we played against Indianapolis, I walked right into the North Stand without a single hiccup, before or after the game. Nobody flagged me or put my name on any list except when I was actually buying the ticket.

Send me your number so I can check my own status!

I'm blocked, BANNED hahahah!!

You guys are all making a huge deal out of nothing regarding the filming situation. There are actual professionals assigned to handle the official recording at a high level. Of course, you’re going to have fans and visitors snapping videos on their phones; you can't just root that out entirely, but that isn't really the point of what certain guys are trying to communicate here. Anyone with half a brain knows where to stand in the arena to catch a few moments for memory's sake, BUT SETTLING IN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SUPPORTER SECTION IS DEFINITELY NOT IT!! Basically, anyone who camps out in the heart of the supporters' section is essentially declaring themselves an ACTIVE FAN by their very presence. And the job of an active fan is to cheer for the club for all 90 minutes and actually follow the rules and guidelines being shouted through the megaphones by the leadership. Back when we were at the Syracuse game, the supporter section was a bit of a circus—and look, I’m not against having a diverse crowd; in fact, that kind of variety is how you build a strong core following—but those first games are always the hardest, and most of the "newcomers" tend to show they haven't quite learned the ropes yet. The printed flyers (especially the larger ones discussing the blue boxes and the 🙏 filming) are great, but from what I saw, the flyer about pyrotechnics was handed out in front of the arena, while the much more important one (the other one) probably got less attention because people were already preoccupied with finding seats, getting through security, blah blah blah. My suggestion would be to hand out the smaller flyers right at the sector entrance, and save the larger, more vital ones for the area outside the arena while the crew is gathering. Secondly, taking an aggressive approach or trying to enforce weird schemes regarding filming won't achieve anything; it'll just backfire. I saw plenty of security staff out there, and I honestly think those guys—who volunteered to help management make sure everything looks good and runs smoothly—should be the ones ensuring the supporter section looks respectable too. For instance, looking at the back row in Syracuse or that railing where a lot of people were congregating, it's the perfect spot for 3 or 4 security members to stand; they basically have the whole section in the palm of their hands and can spot where things are going sideways. If you place another 3 or 4 security members along every edge of the section, you effectively surround the group, giving you maximum control over the crowd and individuals. As soon as a mistake happens, you react immediately and explain to those people that what they're doing is wrong and that there’s no place for that behavior in a dedicated supporter section. Over time, that kind of approach will foster a sense of culture within the group, which is the primary and most fundamental thing we need to work on. Cheers ☕

Andrew Peterson6 said:on our section, the only things that should be flying are the Real Madrid flag and the American flag (maybe the Vatican flag if we're feeling fancy)

anything else is just turning the group into a circus; at this rate, we’ll probably end up with an Irish flag sitting right next to a British one on the same stand🤦

Look, everyone has already been told, though it really ought to be common sense by now: there is a specific reason and a logic behind every single flag, every banner, and every bit of iconography we display. This kind of constant whining and getting worked up over trivialities has crossed the line from mere complaining into actual harassment of the group itself. Instead of staying stuck in this loop of stupidity, why not actually step up, offer some suggestions, get involved, and move your asses to make things better? From what I can see, this "complainer without action" philosophy has been following us for far too long, and frankly, it's high time we put an end to it. You all find flags annoying, you find this annoying, you find that annoying—but when it actually comes time to deal with certain individuals who are sabotaging this whole thing (whether they realize they're doing it or not), suddenly you're all speechless and have nothing to say. And my take? It’s not my job to intervene, and I’d rather stay out of it, so just wait until the match is over to retreat back to your little corners to debate the "whys" and "wherefores." The problem is, that scrutiny is always aimed at the wrong people and the wrong issues. Stop wasting your energy on nonsense and focus on the real problems that will only escalate from game to game if we all maintain this "not my business" attitude. Cheers. ☕

Robin Anderson8 said:Four whole pages of absolute nonsense regarding flags, as if we don't have much more pressing issues and actual work to deal with. Let's redirect that energy toward ensuring there are at least 500 people waiting outside the arena during our next home game... then maybe we can start talking about moving to a larger venue.

👍 These debates are completely pointless, especially now that someone else has started rambling about how certain people showed up wearing Green gear from Athens 😁. Everything happens for a reason, including the flags—which have been part of this group's history for years, sometimes as a statement, sometimes just as a template for how the group operates—and the Green gear from Athens ("Ustaše Athens" 🙏 🙏). This whole thing got out of hand; we did two little choreographies, a mountain of flags, and all that, but not a single word about the organizational side—just flags, flags, and more flags. As mentioned above, the organizing crew is working their tails off and giving it everything they've got, which you could see at recent games, but our first step in this new arena season is to "LEARN TO LISTEN TO THE GUY WITH THE BARBELL, as well as OUR OWN PEOPLE ON THE COURT who are making sure everything runs smoothly! ". Because right before the math was tallied, anyone standing in the stands or near them could see that certain individuals (I won't get into the reasons for their behavior, nor does it excuse it) aren't following protocol and are treating things with a casual "whatever" attitude, thinking we'll just wing it. Well, if everyone thinks being part of the supporters means we just show up, hang out, grab a beer, and leave, we are dead wrong. You don't seem to realize that if the guys in charge break their backs setting up a foundation for us at the futsal matches, and the supporters don't consistently follow that plan, then the whole effort is wasted. Less worrying about trivialities and nitpicking left-field stuff, and instead let's focus on the real problems and the outbursts from specific people; if they keep showing up and acting like this, we're all going to suffer and end up looking like a damn circus in Colorado rather than the PRIDE OF THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY! Cheers ☕

Harold Kim5 said:The goal should be to fix this within the next year while the Democratic Party is still in power. Honestly, they’re pretty incompetent, but at least they actually launched a sports inspection that produced some results—results that are causing some serious headaches for people in charge. More importantly, they changed the laws regarding associations, which some Republicans were busy calling "Mamić's Law" just because it targeted him. As much as I dislike how inept these guys can be, the Republican Party would never have pushed through those two specific changes against tata HDZUSRC. If this isn't settled in the next twelve months, once the Republican Party regains control, we might not see any progress for a very long time.

It is truly fascinating, almost a hobby at this point, reading posts like this one 😂. You either haven't grasped it yet, or you're choosing to ignore the obvious: there is no "us versus them" here. It is all the same crowd, just wearing different jerseys 😉. Besides, why is there this constant emphasis on why WE have to solve everything and meet these deadlines? Where are the other groups in this equation? This isn't about one single individual; we are dealing with an entire system that is dragging everyone down. Think about it for a second. If you actually want to achieve something meaningful, stop living within the narrow confines of the Bad Boys, Torcida, Armada, and the rest. When it comes to questions like this, there is no middle ground—it is either everyone or no one at all.

Honestly, this exhibition match just goes to show that these kinds of events are exactly what we need, and we really ought to put some effort into making sure they become a permanent fixture in the schedule. And we also need to make sure nobody manages to compromise the narrative, because it would be all too easy for some provocateur to step in or for someone to try and stage a scene just to create drama where none exists.

Every single one of us needs to keep this one thought front and center once the indoor season kicks off for our club. At the end of the day, we all own this team, and we all share the responsibility of protecting its reputation and honor. Now, we all know there’s a small group of people handling the heavy lifting on the organizational side, but the staff simply doesn't have the bandwidth to police every single person or hand out sanctions to everyone. Because of that, we really need to act as a united front when it comes to keeping things in check. We went through the trouble of printing a mountain of informational flyers, and rather than letting them just sit around gathering dust, we should be handing them out whenever someone joins the club. Being a member isn't just about having certain rights or privileges; it means your conduct as a fan reflects on the entire organization. Every individual acts as a representative for the whole futsal collective. We need to keep things positive and keep things smart. Lately, I've seen a massive influx of both young kids and veteran supporters showing up at the local park, but if we don't prioritize communication and education, that momentum could vanish overnight. We've taken the first step toward pulling ourselves out of the gutter, so now we just need to push forward—even harder and with even more pride. After all, we are the heart and soul of Los Angeles Galaxy!

Honestly, we really shouldn't give these kinds of comments the time of day. There have always been people like this, and frankly, there always will be. What actually matters is that the city has finally started picking up steam, and that we, as the core driving force, keep pushing that sense of pride and positivity for our city, our club, and the country. Their negativity says everything about them and nothing about us, and quite frankly, we all have much more intelligent things to do than waste energy on such bottom-feeders.

Yesterday’s meetup at Salisbury was honestly indescribable. Since it was our first official outing, it’s going to take some time for us to find our rhythm and get everything synchronized, but I couldn't help feeling like certain people completely ignored the very first rule of the house. Just so we’re all on the same page regarding what’s expected:

http://tinypic.com/r/15y7vhe/8

We all need to approach this project with a sense of actual responsibility, and those specific guidelines—especially the one under number 1—really need to be followed to the letter. This is a major turning point for our group, and I’d hate for us to let a few half-baked decisions ruin everything we're trying to build here.

Just give that number a call and ask 😉. There are still some seats left, but you really ought to get your name on the list sooner rather than later—the trip is going to be $60!!!

EVERYONE TO MIAMI!!!!! UNTIL THE VERY LAST MAN STANDS!!

Don't forget that right after we hit Madison Square Garden, we’ve got an away game in Miami this Sunday!

EVERYONE TO MIAMI!!!!

The Bad Boys supporters club is putting together a trip to Miami for anyone who needs a ride.
