That’s exactly how it looked to me too. They ripped that BBB Cleveland banner down in record time, which proves they were definitely there. Now I just don't get why they're celebrating a trophy for a club they supposedly don't even support.🤷

While you guys are stuck dealing with incompetent players like Michael Jordan and that social media influencer auntie who pops up in every single highlight reel...

Both sides are screwed; we're just the only ones who actually realize it. 😉

Can any of you boys tell me if that group over on the east side was BBB or what?

And what's the point? It’s all useless if we don't have a massive headline like our colleagues over in Washington, D.C. 😢

Eric Ross10 said:Did they even start?

Yeah, they never actually got going. A complete waste of a letter for the entire first half. Facing an opponent like Argentina is just brutal.😢>

Hahaha, looks like he finally bit the dust. Well, that's one way to go.

The Lech fans heading to Turin for the match against Wisla Krakow—check out the shot on the video board and the chanting. It was quite the sight, honestly.

Robert Adams6 said:Alex Barrett3, the Bad Boys have every right to demand more tickets, especially since Yankee Stadium always offers an "unlimited" amount to away fans—specifically 3,931 seats, which is 11% of the stadium's capacity!
whereas a place like an NFL stadium might only give 5% to visitors, maybe around 1,750 seats.
just a few days before the first Bad Boys game after the boycott, people were being warned they wouldn't all fit in the stadium, so some didn't even bother showing up, while others were turned away at the gates because they didn't have tickets.
Meanwhile, at Yankee Stadium, whether there are 390 or 3,900 away fans, they all get in.

Sure, but that’s obvious because Yankee Stadium is never going to be at full capacity, so providing extra room for visiting fans isn't an issue. I highly doubt Oracle Park will be empty either... but how many of you guys actually knew you'd be getting seats in the West Stand down at the local stadium?

Casey Gomez3 said:All of that holds water, sure, but what’s actually the difference between a broken bottle and a knife? Or between a marble table and a slab of stone? Why is it somehow more "fair" to throw one of Jack's bottles at someone's head than to just jump and drive a knee straight into their skull?

Your average fan is about 180 pounds, 23 years old, drunk, smelling like cigarettes, and couldn't care less about his cardio. But he starts making excuses—this guy is bigger, that guy is heavier, this one is more "trained." It’s total nonsense. You're starting from the exact same baseline as him, so what's the excuse?

Anyone who actually follows MMA knows how it works: an 80-kilogram wrestler in peak condition can toss around a hundred-pounder like he’s nothing. And if that guy actually knows how to strike? He can knock out a giant. You can't fake knowing where to land a punch to end a fight. If you don't understand the grit required for this sport, stop showing up to the arena. Go watch hockey instead.

First off, that marble table is way too heavy to be tossed more than two feet unless you’re someone like Sandra Perković—maybe she could pull it off. So, what am I supposed to do, train every single day just to show up to games? If I’m training that hard, I might as well make a living out of it. All I'm saying is that in a moment like that, people act on pure instinct to protect their own heads. How many times have you been jumped by a crowd that's bigger and stronger than you? Just give me a rough estimate.
It’s stupid when you have a group of 40 going against 10, especially if those 40 show up with bottles. But honestly? If those 10 decide to grab the bottles and push back, I won't even blink. They're outnumbered, yet they're still out there defending their own ground.

Jesse Campbell said:I completely agree. Though, I have no idea why you quoted me?

Look, your post was the last one on this thread, so I wasn't really thinking—I just wanted to respond to whatever it was you were quoting...

And if everyone wants to talk about a fair fight, getting jumped by them in a field isn't "fair" at all. That's exactly why weight classes exist in every combat sport. It’s not a level playing field when a 220-pound guy on steroids goes up against someone who weighs 150.

Jesse Campbell said:Boy, either you haven't been in many fan fights or you just have zero grasp on reality.

When dozens of people start brawling in a bar, it’s perfectly normal for at least one guy to swing a chair or a bottle. Once that first object starts flying, there’s no stopping it. What you actually need is a referee to step in, shove those guys into a corner to cool off, and have an assistant coach dry them down with a towel so that by the next round, nobody is throwing furniture anymore...

I’m not saying this is "good," I’m saying this is how it works. If you travel to someone else's city and they jump you while you're having a drink, chances are things are going to start flying. That’s how it’s always been and how it always will be. It isn't just an American thing.

Do you honestly think Englishmen don't throw chairs? That’s how fan violence has always functioned.

Trying to fight the Terror Machine is basically like bringing a stick to a tank fight. They jumped you in their own city with 200 trained thugs, and you're acting like, "Oh, they're hitting me, but I won't throw a bottle or a chair because I want to be honorable and end up in the hospital"? Give me a break... stop talking nonsense. I’d never want anyone to get hurt more than a few scratches after a riot, but be realistic—that’s just how these moments go. Do you even know what those guys look like? Or what their training is like? I'm not exaggerating when I say they train at the level of MMA fighters... so what, are 200 of us from the coast weighing maybe 165 pounds on average supposed to take them on head-on? That's pure stupidity. If they invite you to a field to fight, it's fine to decline if that's not your style, but if they ambush you in a plaza and you have bottles and chairs right there, of course you're going to fight back... No matter how much we dislike them, what they pulled off in Poznan deserves respect. I wasn't at that fight the night before, but anyone who was there firsthand knows the Bad Boys held their own brilliantly, while the Lechovac guys were hiding from them most other days... It’s easy to sit here and talk trash, but what they did to us on match day is a whole different story that I won't even touch, but in Poznan, the Bad Boys were hands down number one.

Charles Ruiz6 said:Look, you can afford to not give a damn about what happens on the pitch when "your" club has been dominating for seven straight years, playing in the Champions League regularly, and steamrolling through the MLS.
It’s a lot easier to fight for Real Madrid than it is for Houston Dynamo. They’re fans; they have to support them. And honestly, it’s much simpler to care when your team actually performs instead of struggling to complete two consecutive passes. You can ignore the players all you want if the club isn't facing a financial meltdown every other day.
People can say whatever they want, but regardless of how little they care, the fact remains that Real Madrid being the strongest club in America directly impacts supporter numbers and atmosphere. Because one day, once Jerry Jones is gone, all those trophies will be gathered up again, the Boys will have the top club back, the most attractive European matches and away trips, and everyone else will be laughing at them once more.

If this isn't truly their club, why didn't they just throw ten flares onto the pitch against Bugar to get Real Madrid kicked out of Europe and cut off Jerry Jones' money supply? That would be the most effective way to force him out.
Sure, it would tank Real Madrid financially and hurt the roster, but clearly, the guys want Jerry Jones gone while ensuring the club maintains its total dominance—Champions League spots, European travel, league titles... everything.

Let’s be clear: I am 100% behind the Boys in this situation. It serves everyone's interest, and we all know the repression is massive, but I'm also aware of the other side of this struggle...

Honestly, I think any further discussion after this post is pointless. The man said it all. You could write a thousand replies, but you aren't going to change the truth.

David Anderson5 said:As far as I can tell, this thread is meant for discussing the Bad Boys, not some irrelevant nonsense..
Regarding the banners, I doubt anyone is going to carry anything smaller than the 'FREEDOM FOR REAL MADRID' banner at home.. And as for carrying small banners from various different groups, it would be pretty stupid; a couple of people showing up to represent a group that isn't even active?

What do you mean by "carrying banners"??? For whom?? Three guys holding a banner at a game in a safe area?? What's the point of that??? Keep it at home. If there isn't a solid crew to represent them, why bother? There are 100 people in the stands; does that mean we need 25 different banners???? Like we used to see back in those small towns in the Midwest??? What do you actually gain from it?? Our core group of 7 or 8 shows up to every single away game, both European and domestic, yet we haven't carried a banner in ages because the "leadership" thinks the squad isn't ready for it—aside from us three older guys who want to pass the tradition down to the younger generation, even though I'm still relatively young myself... It’s easy to carry a banner, but what happens when things actually go south??? I don't usually write much on here, but damn it, we and the other Boys spend all our time criticizing everyone else without looking in the mirror for once. While the whole scene falls apart, we sit here telling fairy tales... Honestly, it's becoming disgusting.

Mark Reyes2 said:That’s exactly that "new school" attitude right there, buddy.
We're the ones here; it doesn't matter how we got here, and things are going to go exactly how we say they will—everyone else can go screw themselves!
Great, you can already see all that "progress," "synergy," and "unity" that was supposedly missing before!!
Villages?
Those "villages" were the ones keeping this group afloat while those of us at STMicroelectronics were driving vans or even cars just to get us to away games.
Watch how you try to play the leader and decide exactly how you want to be the boss!
Here’s a little piece of benevolent advice from me, since you clearly know so much about giving it out!
That's enough talk from Drake and me on this forum!

Good one. The crew stands with Gavin. You can't bring water to someone who isn't thirsty when it comes to the fan life, because there are very few fans like that among the NFL Ultras. I don't even need to vouch for his character; no matter how many likes you hunt for, anyone who actually knows whose handle Maslina belongs to will confirm exactly what I'm saying... thanks, goodnight.
