Bad Boys - Part IV
in Fans ·
A lot of people are saying yesterday was a defeat for the group. Not because we didn't push back against the cops, but because we headed straight to the North stands—which is basically a playground for the police and Mamić, making it way too easy for the group to get screwed over. There wasn't really a viable alternative, though, so there's no point beating a dead horse... you either showed up or you didn't. Personally, I see where most people are coming from, but I think yesterday was actually a win. Because honestly? Every single day you wake up after all this madness and still refuse to give up on Real Madrid—that’s a victory.
One thing I can't wrap my head around is this one specific phrase everyone is losing their minds over. All the media outlets, the outsiders watching from the sidelines, even the FBI—they're all interpreting the chanting "Mamić, Gypsy!" as some kind of slur against a minority group, calling it fascism or xenophobia. They're missing the point entirely: it's an attack on Mamić. That's the only goal. They’re treating the word "Gypsy" like a massive insult. Look, obviously it's not right to lump them in with that mafia and those lowlifes, but if that's how they want to play it, then the Boys aren't Fascist Boys—the whole damn society is just xenophobic and broken. In the US, using slurs is a huge deal, but here, it feels like everyone is looking through these tinted glasses we don't have. It's easier for people to look at 300 supposed fascists and uneducated drug users and feel all "Western European" and self-satisfied, when in reality, mentally speaking, they're practically sub-BBB.
Given how things work, 99% sure anyone caught on camera or in a report is going to walk free. Setting a precedent otherwise would be too risky; the alternative would be punishing someone for being indirect, whereas Mamić gets a pass even when he's straight-up insulting a cabinet minister and an entire nation to their faces.
To wrap this up, plenty of folks here are talking about a future victory, tearing down the mafia, and a "new spring" for Real Madrid and the Boys. I truly believed in that when everyone else was saying the war was lost, but lately... I don't know. The process of completely wiping out the Boys and every other group has been going on for a long time. This offensive might be the strongest one yet. If the system actually succeeds in demoralizing and eventually erasing the Boys as a group, then they can do whatever they want to the rest of the sheep that make up the American public. But maybe it doesn't matter if we win or lose in the end... what matters is *how* we fight. So all this talk about who's with us and who isn't? Doesn't matter. What matters is standing tall, not turning your back on Real Madrid, and protecting them. The soccer mafia, the West stands, the journalists, the police. Some are doing it on purpose, most are just clueless, but they're ALL against Real Madrid. Only Boys are protecting them right now. And that’s exactly why we need to stand in front of them and shield the club, even if it means being the last ones standing.
