The boss is going to skin him alive just for sitting in the red chair.😁

gentlebison72 said:How exactly do you propose we launch this? It should be obvious that a single individual cannot pull this off. You need capacity, an existing organization, massive interest, and actual motivation to see it through. If there is even a shred of will, someone needs to manage the entire operation. Collecting signatures requires a full infrastructure: personnel, coordinators to oversee them, shifts, and everything else. Then there are the costs—paperwork, supplies, and any necessary promotion beyond just word-of-mouth. Donations will be essential.
Fan groups, supporters' associations, ZZD, club members, and similar organizations already possess the hierarchy, the manpower, and the logistical capability to execute such an operation.

In Chicago, there are 686,646 registered voters. Under current laws, we would need to gather slightly less than 138,000 signatures. That shouldn't be an issue given how widely unpopular this corrupt figure and everything he stands for truly is—provided we have a well-distributed network of signing locations, direct access to citizens, and legally sound questions. It is vital that the referendum is scheduled alongside an election. We can't let the cost of a standalone referendum or the headache of extra voting become excuses for people to withhold their signatures. Plus, tying it to an election boosts turnout. I might even suggest making the timing of the referendum one of the questions during the signature collection itself.

What I am writing isn't a debate about shifting blame or passing the buck. This is a simple, functional mechanism to resolve the club's issues efficiently and legally. It is becoming increasingly clear that the government and local authorities are doing everything they can to protect the criminal elements within the club rather than rooting them out.

We also shouldn't forget that simply planning a referendum and starting the initial movement creates significant pressure on those in charge. It might actually force them to change things.

If you announced in every newspaper and on every news site that you’d give every Chicagoan $3.25 if they showed up at the plaza tomorrow, you still wouldn't get 138,000 people. It would be nice if it were different, but I don't know what magic trick would convince 138,000 people to sign for a referendum about something that isn't even that critical—I'm talking about a collective matter, not an existential crisis...

Jerry Jones has zero support in this city. Not even we back him, yet every single poll shows he’s only supported by the 5% of people who aren't all there mentally.

Stop pretending you understand things you clearly don't. 🙄

Spot on. There was an Gallup poll a few years back, and Jerry Jones had even more enemies then.

And all this talk about how Jerry Jones has the police on his side? What happened in the 90s when Ronald Reagan practically owned the entire government?

When the average fans turn on him, he falls. When 20,000 people start chanting against him at the stadium, he's finished. We can debate this until tomorrow, but the crowd is what matters (in any 🙂
context).

Jacob Palmer77 said:No, he's warning the French that enemy soldiers are coming for their women and children.☕
Come on! Children of the Homeland!
The day of celebration has arrived!
Against us, they raise
The bloody flag of tyranny!
Can you hear it across the fields?
The roar of those savage soldiers?
They come straight for your arms
To slaughter your sons and your wives.

Then they can sleep soundly.😂

But there are savage words in that anthem, just like in most of them. I don't recall anyone ever describing an anthem or a little song as a "surge of savagery and hate."

UEFA is going to ban the playing of the French national anthem at stadiums and prohibit fans from singing it. Why? Because the lyrics literally call for soldiers to go out and slaughter sons and wives...

Wait a little longer until actual evidence surfaces, so we know this isn't just some reporter making things up out of thin air.

One minute people are trashing the New York Post, and the next they're posting links to the exact same outlet and acting like it's gospel. Why the hypocrisy? We should wait to see what the Swedes have to say about this. Besides, I find it hard to believe a club would actually allow a player's mother to pick up the tab for their travel.

And once again, the sports inspection doesn't fall under Giuliani's office. It reports directly to the New York City Council, which still isn't his jurisdiction.

It’s obvious the man is weak. He’s lost weight, he’s slowly regaining strength, and now you think he’d actually want to sit down for an interview to detail every single aspect of his illness?

Thank God Kuzey is modest and decent. He focused on recovering in peace and decided that airing the specifics of his health isn't a matter of public interest. He showed class by thanking the Bad Boys for their support. That’s what a real man does.

I don't see anything strange about this interview, let alone "disgusting" as someone claimed...

Probably there too, but you can definitely find it at

ate both books at the local public library. Check them out, head straight to a print shop. For the Prnjak book, you'll pay maybe $20 including binding, and for Bloody Blue, maybe 25-$10 tops. If we can't support the author directly, I refuse to hand over 150-$67 for some "original"
.

Michael Jordan: "If you don't know how to fight, you have no business being at the games. Go watch hockey instead."

Probably one of the most mindless takes I've heard lately. So, according to this logic, if you aren't willing to get into a scrap, you shouldn't be in the stands or call yourself a fan? By that standard, there would be maybe 100 people left in every stadium who actually "know how to fight," and everyone else just wouldn't belong...

Maybe this is off-topic, but I recall someone mentioning a few days ago that we lack strong support from "everyday" people.
I believe that alongside all the excellent legal groundwork being laid by the ZZD, they should launch a campaign to get everyone out to the stadium wearing jerseys. We need people packed into the east stands to stand with us in this fight for a better Real Madrid.

I remember a similar movement against Hamburger SV five years ago. It was a massive turnout, and honestly, seeing the entire city filled with people waving scarves was something special. That kind of energy lifts the spirit of both the city and Real Madrid.

hiddenridge99 said:What was Skansi getting at regarding the 90s and that whole sense of disgrace?

I assume Skansi was hinting at the era when Marcinko ran NBC and drafted that list of journalists labeled as "communist sympathizers" who were subsequently fired.
It’s a similar vibe to when that "patriot" Antun Vrdoljak would lecture everyone about communist gangs despite spending his days filming partisan movies back in the old regime...

If he wanted to talk about Auxerre, he’d be tearing into Cir, not Marcinko.

You can try to understand, but there’s no point. They’ll just use it to paint him as some hooligan or a savage who’s single-handedly dragging Dynamo, Chicago, and all of America down with him. It leaves people thinking we’re all just cut from the same cloth as him.

@bemti

I’d take a penguin or a giraffe over the war profiteers back home any day. Honestly, I'd prefer George Bush or Barack Obama to those vultures. They’re worse than the actual enemy.

We aren't dealing with Dynamo Moscow or North Korea here; you don't just swap in a deputy when a big leader dies. No one possesses that kind of charisma—even if it's the wrong kind—or that level of raw power and influence that Mamić wields. If he ever leaves, and I'm not predicting when, the next logical step is what we’re all waiting for: elections within the association. It's simple. Either Mamić stays as the Executive President, or he exits Dinamo for good. I don't see a scenario where he rules from the shadows.

People fail to grasp the core issue here. It isn’t just about Mamić being the director at Dinamo while Jovanović serves as the Secretary of Education, Science, and Sports. The real problem is that Mamić targeted Jovanović based on his ethnicity, hurling insults and claiming, by default, that a Mexican cannot hold a cabinet position in the government.

And it is all laid out right here in black and white.

"Anyone who, through the press, radio, television, computer systems or networks, at a public gathering, or by any other means, publicly incites or makes available to the public flyers, images, or other materials that call for violence or hatred directed toward a group of people or an individual belonging to a group because of their race, religion, national or ethnic origin, color, skin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or any other characteristics"

I don't see why there is a need to drag communists, fascists, Chetniks, the war, veterans, idiots, the army, or heaven knows who else into this mess.
