If you actually meant what you say you stand for, you would have headed down to the stadium right now to burn the whole place—club offices included—to the ground and end this once and for all. Good luck!

Jerry Morris2 said:It is pointless to debate anything here when you don't even know who you are dealing with on the other side. Is it some bottom-feeder who was never part of the inner circle, or just some twenty-year-old kid brainwashed by the ideology of whatever group leadership they follow?
The reality is that there have been mistakes on both sides, and there will be more. The supporter movement isn't exactly pure or pristine, despite how the younger generation might perceive it. I understand you have your own politics, but the other side has theirs too. That doesn't mean anyone is wrong; it just means there are different methods and specific tactics for the fight.
At times, I feel targeted myself when someone attacks me on this forum over a group statement, but then I remember everything we have endured versus what they have gone through. Those two things cannot be compared. Those are facts; everything else is just propaganda. Every one of our people—from the old guard leading the group to the kids just starting out—has had their sense of belonging to the Yankees damaged because the club has been a victim for so long of a populist, kleptocratic clique. This clique worked closely with their lot until they finally cut ties. Those kids lived in the dark for years; they were fans without any luxuries. They were arrested for every little thing just to make them hate the lifestyle, all while their enemies grew unchecked, carefree, sipping coffee on the waterfront with girls or drinking wine at Matthews, thinking they could easily light a flare against Seattle tomorrow... or how they would attack a column of Chicago kids because their own group was nearly wiped out (I don't blame them for that; it’s how it has to be). Beyond that, it is obvious in America which of our two groups commands more respect from rivals. Even on a small stage like this, it is crystal clear. It is also obvious how that cup in 2013 was celebrated when it was blatant who gifted it to them. It is also obvious that you took vouchers for years while we were scraping by in every possible way. It is also obvious that you wrote messages questioning our struggle, claiming we were lost, while they were cracking down on our kids. It is obvious you exploited a joint protest in Chicago to pose for photos as if it were some organized march... it is obvious that if things had gone differently, it would have been a disaster. Everything is clear as day. Only an idiot could forget that, or someone who believes it is in both our interests to raise a healthy scene. But that was never in your interest because you have always looked down on everyone else, despite having absolutely no foundation except for a crowd made up of bottom-feeders who, if Trump were your leader, would write his name in gold in the Dodgers' history books. It is all normal. Supporter banter is an elementary part of this; I am not going to change anyone's mind, nor is that the point of this post. There is no sense in arguing with a group that contributed almost nothing to a common goal yet wants to lecture you on everything.

The path outlined below is actually the correct one.Whether the performance in the city improves due to the local mentality is a separate issue, but the club's structure must remain identical.
Members elect the Board, but they do not elect the CEO.
I agree with analogheron19. Regarding the Board, anyone can be elected provided they meet the eligibility requirements, regardless of whether they are a die-hard fan or not.
Based on what I know of the current group, perhaps only five people would actually pass those requirements.

Walter Morgan said:Guys, this might sound like a silly question since I haven't been following the scene lately, but what's going on with Boys Mokosica? They haven't shown up with any support during away games for quite some time now.
Thanks for the info.
boldeagle20 said:Have you guys actually decided which group you're inviting to the derby at Yankee Stadium next? Since those certain Scandinavians turned you down—and given that their subgroup consists mostly of people from the Midwest and the South—it seems you need to compensate.
Still, having only three groups is insufficient.🤣 🤣

It is as if you haven't seen this guy on TV before.
He is just going to show up and spin tales about paid salaries and holiday bonuses.
If Perasović were in the studio with him, then there might be some substance. As it stands, how can this man talk for four hours without anyone posing a single real question?

Nothing has changed since then...

Whenever I see a dream like that, Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze" starts playing in my head immediately.
