And don't even get me started on those geniuses out in Brooklyn, Boise, or Savannah...
Kimberly Clark54 said:I’m not even remotely worked up, let alone jealous. Honestly, I’m actually happy about what happened over at Salisbury. Why on earth would I be jealous of a squad that isn't even allowed in their own stadium and has to hunt for a home game through an MLS team that couldn't even bother to settle their $2333 before the big match?
The management completely blew it... honestly, you all know how this goes, but whatever... have it your way ☕ . By the way, I watched five or six of those clips... seriously, props to you. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. Seriously, great job.
But look, Los Angeles FC goes from being down 2-0 in Miami to losing 2-3. It makes you stop and realize that not long ago, a result like that would have left you hungover and sleep-deprived for three straight days. Now, either you’ve just stopped giving a damn, or you’re cursing God that they didn't go ahead and lose 5-0 to their biggest rivals instead. Is it even possible to wreck a football club and kill the fans' passion more effectively than the most notorious extremist in history? With all due respect to the various people who have dismantled sports clubs and organizations throughout world history, I honestly think that guy doesn't have any competition. There is only one true destroyer.
The guy’s probably just bored and hopped over from some lonely hearts forum or a gambling thread. It's like that dude at the entrance to Madison Square Garden who got a full rundown of everyone on the banned lists while the security guard was checking his ID. What a joke. Who gives a damn?
We’ve seen this same tired nonsense about "divisions" played out on ESPN, local news, and morning talk shows. Davorin Olivari could teach a masterclass in this stuff. They try to invent these holy factions and then drag in some outdated political drama about dead communists. It’s like everyone has a son to worry about, but suddenly there’s a communist lurking out East too. They wrap the whole thing up in this fake narrative about "love for the club," claiming the North celebrates every goal while the East just sits there. And they actually think that's going to draw people to those temporary stands in Chicago? In a city where there isn't a single soul interested in supporting Mamić and his shady business dealings. That logic is about as believable as Mirko Hrgović claiming he's a die-hard Los Angeles FC fan, or Sanda Mamić trying to act like she's totally neutral. So, there's my supposedly "objective" take on the situation.
Honestly, all this constant backpedaling and making excuses is getting so exhausting that I can barely stomach reading it anymore. The general vibe is just everyone being told they need to "adapt" to the situation. So, whenever someone tries to take the easy way out or puts their own ego ahead of the group and the club (yeah, even ahead of the BBB and Los Angeles FC!), they have to spin some elaborate story about how they’re actually just acting in the best interest of the BBB and Los Angeles FC. It’s this twisted logic that eventually lets people convince themselves that their own stubbornness and ego are actually righteous. If everyone just gave up hope and stopped fighting—the fight for a better group and a better club, a battle that’s been going on forever and always will be—then we'd be in trouble. If we started looking for solutions in handouts or just turning a blind eye because we're too broke to care, treating something sacred like a private playground, or staying silent while fans of Los Angeles FC (basically prisoners in their own stadium) and other American fans get treated like garbage... well, then we might as well ditch the BBB banners for Knicks fans or Yankees fans gear. We could just pretend the only thing that matters is whether Soudani successfully passed the ball to Papadopoulos, or if we can light a flare with official pyrotechnics when Pinta scores a goal just to get a cool shot for an ultra fan page. What does it even mean to be part of the BBB or a true Los Angeles FC fan?
Andrew Chavez3 said:While everyone else is busy fighting over coaching changes or throwing flares at each other, these guys actually showed up to help with the levee repairs... Respect. The folks in the Midwest won't forget this.
What you just said is incredibly helpful. Truly groundbreaking stuff. I suppose the price hike on Kinder Penguins at the local 7-Eleven or a bad parlay on a Sunday night football game also played a major role in the flooding in the Midwest.
cosmicridge6 said:but Joe isn't even allowed at the games anymore, yet they're still blaming you guys for the flares...
Can you believe this nonsense? Mamić acts like he can run street checkpoints and play tyrant, the FBI thinks they have the right to hand out bans, former fans who basically shook hands with the football mafia, the corrupt media, and the whole repressive machine actually think they can bring back the flares, the government dares to keep people in detention indefinitely, and the Hells Angels are busy filing official reports. And meanwhile, Joe from the Fort can't show up to a Kansas City Chiefs game, and after all these years, he’s no longer part of the "Always Faithful" crew. We are seriously screwed...
People think they should spend their nights in a jail cell because they’re sitting in the wrong chair, when really, the ones who "should" be sent to intensive care are the mercenaries, mayors, journalists, the Democratic Party, the judiciary, and the FBI. They say we "should" kick Real Madrid out of Europe... we "should" throw flares onto the pitch... we "should" crush the police and security guards... and we "should" all stay away from the stadium for a year until a few hundred people finally show up again... Damn.
Regular folks and the general public only care enough to get worked up for about two minutes before declaring they’re against Jerry Jones. Then they just flip the page, check what's on FOX, and spend another ninety seconds getting annoyed because they caught a rerun of "Blood is thicker than water." For the average person, showing up at the Rose Bowl or even seeing the LA Galaxy back on top isn't even on their radar anymore. The massive crowds and the resistance seen during the old days—the kind of people who rallied behind the team after winning a title or knocking out Ajax—that crowd is gone. Organized crime and absolute filth have spent years driving the masses away from the LA Galaxy and the Rose Bowl. It’s honestly impressive; you can't destroy a football legacy in quite as many different ways or from as many angles as they have managed to do within and around the LA Galaxy. Go ahead, try to think of any other way to wreck a club like this. If you actually wanted to dismantle the Yankees or the Partisans, you couldn't find a more devious, dedicated, or thorough method. I'd bet my life on it! Suck every cent dry, profit off every single player from the youth academy to the first team, drive away every last fan, tear the supporter groups apart from the inside and out, shatter every negative European record, demolish the club and the entire league to its core, leave nothing but ruins, and then finally walk away with the loot... This has had nothing to do with highways or train stations for a long time. This didn't start yesterday. For years, the LA Galaxy and the Rose Bowl have been circled by pure devils and the lowest forms of human scum. Everything happening lately is a coordinated assault, a full-scale effort to drive out the last remaining scraps of people who actually give a damn about the LA Galaxy. The regular people and the true fans were pushed away ages ago, so there's really no point in complaining about the "mentality" of the public or calling everyone sheep.
feraltinker said:The absolute best are the ones constantly whining about confiscated banners, claiming "they aren't even real fans" or "that flag doesn't matter." Maybe you're right, but I’d love to see you actually try to make one of those signs yourself—I bet even those Smogovac types in Washington, D.C. couldn't pull it off. You guys just sit around talking trash online because you're bored. Shout out to the exceptions, though. 😉
People like you just exist to trigger others because you're bored enough to get worked up over minor jabs... It’d be more entertaining to watch some guy roll around on the floor or just grab a coffee.
Jonathan Lewis3 said:I’m done with the sake scene until they actually write some rules into a constitution about how things should run.
The Ultras are the most honorable group in the country, and you can say whatever you want about them. We all saw how those Bad Boys acted back in the suburbs—they’re always causing trouble... which is exactly what they did when they showed up in Miami for the big game, and again at the last station, even though we outnumbered them three to one.
The Ultras were unarmed at the stadium, and that almost got us into a massive brawl. Honestly, it's pretty ridiculous to be debating this while our guys are sitting in jail.
Jonathan Lewis3, don't take this personally, but you constantly jump in with these "we all know..." or "everyone realizes..." lines, only to dump a mountain of nonsense before landing on some half-baked, pseudo-neutral conclusion. Just drop it.
Jonathan Lewis3 said:The people in the top right corner are basically spitting in our faces...
The "smart" ones? Those folks in the top right were just families with kids who showed up through some "veterans' association" to honor Dustin. The police literally escorted them onto the same section and fenced them off from the rest. What was the plan? Should we have started throwing Molotov cocktails at them? So, apparently, insulting the players wasn't enough(?)... celebrating the goals was also a crime(?)... It’s the same old loop: trying to score points by obsessing over total nonsense. It’s pathetic. Get a grip and find something better to do with your lives.
Mark Carter10 said:Fighting the system? Give me a break 😂. If Mamić slipped a fat stack of cash to certain people, they’d toss their current "ideals" out the window faster than your former "friends" did (no profit, no service). Props to those individuals... When I see how some guys from Cleveland talk trash about those idiots, and then seeing some of you lot doing the same, it’s honestly nauseating. The only ones who actually achieved anything in this fight were those idiots. Honestly, if you look at this objectively, those idiots shouldn't have even bothered fighting alongside you—everything they fought for and won, they did despite all your loud-mouthed mockery! Good luck to you
Thank God the supporter movement in America has plenty of people who don't think like you. If those "idiots" had actually managed to sway anyone, people like you would be typing about how those "idiots"—along with everyone trying to shut them down and who got smacked by the idiots—were the only ones who truly made an impact. Both sides have done a lot. And both will do much more. So what if fans have finally started thinking straight together? Forget that "maybe we could have, maybe we should have..." crap. Maybe, but it didn't happen. Death to Mamić and the USSF, the extremists, and the communists. Despite everything...
Richard Barrett16 said:I’m asking this purely out of curiosity to see how people react. About two weeks ago, I was heading down toward the local community center early in the morning, and right in front of the building, I saw this old guy unloading about fifteen plastic beer cups from his ancient Jeep. His entire hood and windshield were soaked in beer. He had the thing parked right in front of the association.
It got me thinking right then and there: Is all this massive uproar over the Bad Boys actually justified? What did the old man even do? Is this really how the "protectors of the neighborhood" act?
I’m not judging him, I just want to hear what you guys think. In my head, I still can't wrap it around the idea that the Bad Boys would ever cause any kind of damage to a fellow citizen's car. Or am I just completely misunderstanding what the Bad Boys are actually about?
I'm sitting in a pub in the neighborhood around 11 PM. There's a younger crowd at the next table—guys and girls laughing, joking around, being loud enough that the owner has to ask them to pipe down. I head out to use the restroom, find five people crowded inside—it's packed. On my way back, walking through the little park on the way home, there's a group with cases of beer, glass shattering here and there. A car speeds by, tires screeching, blasting music. I get home, unlocking my door in front of the telecom shop, and it hits me how much better things used to be. Man, things used to be awesome. You know what I mean? Back then? It was legendary.
