They say a fish rots from the head down, yet everyone keeps trying to scrub the tail. It’s a ridiculous way to manage things. Why aren't we putting actual pressure on the board members? If you look at the legal framework, they are the ones holding all the cards—they make the decisions, yet they operate with total impunity. They couldn't care less. It’s painfully obvious that they’re just puppets dancing to their mother's tune, but if there were some real consequences—some genuine friction—maybe they’d actually stop to think twice before acting. We’re living in an era where morality feels like a relic and money can buy just about anything, which is a depressing thought. But here’s the thing: regardless of how much the world shifts or how much greed takes over, the sting of a slap or the weight of a consequence remains exactly the same. Morality might be fading, but the fallout of bad behavior isn't going anywhere; it hurts just as much today as it did a hundred years ago, and it'll hurt just as much a century from now.

We need to be looking at this from a much broader perspective. To put it bluntly, our previous attempts haven't exactly yielded any results, so it’s high time we stop repeating the same mistakes and actually pivot our strategy.

P.S. I saw Mamic out on the I-95 yesterday around 4:00 PM, cruising right alongside the team bus. Honestly, he couldn't care less about the protests.

We need to get organized and stage protests with clear objectives and punchy messaging. Some people might not realize this, but history shows that this kind of grassroots action has actually shifted the needle quite a bit in America. I’m primarily talking about those targeted demonstrations led by specific civil rights organizations—groups that put enough pressure on the administration to force through significant legislative changes that benefit everyday citizens, such as the Freedom of Information Act or our national Election Law.

Now that Šuker, Ostojić, and their associates have announced these new measures they intend to implement, it’s time to act. The fans are the only group that wasn't even invited to the table during this meeting, despite the fact that every single decision being made impacts them directly. We all know exactly why that is, so there's no need to dwell on it, but we need to show up at Times Square on the day of the next US Congress and US Cabinet session. We need to make sure the representatives and ministers understand our grievances and demand actual solutions. And we can't just do it once; we have to stay consistent!

Exactly. Let's see how they handle it when people start showing up at their front doors every single day because they're fed up.

This is really the only way forward; everything else we've tried so far has just fallen flat. I’m not suggesting things will flip overnight or after one single protest, but sustained, relentless pressure is what actually gets results.

hiddenridge99 said:Look, man, are you actually paying attention? Everyone is turning a blind eye to what’s happening at Yankee Stadium. From the President down to the local government and the mainstream media... everyone is just looking the other way.

We’ve been banging our heads against a brick wall for years now, and all it’s gotten us is a slow, steady decline. We’re shrinking every single day.

I remember a few years back when there were massive protests against the administration. The news cycle obsessed over it for a month even though there were 5,000 people out on the streets at the biggest rally. Meanwhile, they’d "proudly" report on a handful of people in Miami, maybe 17 in Seattle, or 9 in San Diego, acting like those tiny groups were the real story.🙄

We need to crank up the pressure on the administration and the cabinet, especially right now when they’re desperate to fix their approval ratings.
If we have to protest five times a week to get results, then that’s exactly what we’ll do. While we're at it, let's get the casual fans energized so they actually back us in this fight to turn this club back into a decent organization.

Exactly. That’s the only way forward.

nimblecobra42 said:Look, man, for heaven's sake, if we actually went after all fifty people you're talking about, they’d all be rotting in federal prison by next week. You should be fighting the actual mafia—the corruption involving the big shots, the police, the trash in Washington; the whole thing is just one massive organized crime syndicate tearing this damn country apart. Instead, you're focused on some guy selling cheap styrofoam at a local gas station, thinking he's going to cause a national crisis or get ousted after a few small protests. Get serious.

Don't take this personally, but what you wrote is complete nonsense. No one, and I mean absolutely no one, can legally prevent us, the citizens of America, from assembling publicly. Sure, there will be pressure, blackmail, and dirty tricks, but we have to try.

Drew Booth60 said:There is absolutely no way you’re going to rally the common plebeians in this country to support something like that. We’re watching the entire nation go down the drain, yet you can't find a single soul willing to take to the streets and protest. It's pathetic.🤷
If people aren't willing to take to the streets for the sake of the country and the future of their own children, then they certainly aren't going to do it for LA Galaxy or the Bad Boys. At this rate, we might as well just let Germany or Austria annex us.☕

With the right timing and a bit of strategic organization, even a small group can make a massive impact. If you have about 300 fanatics showing up at the stadium, you can easily pull together at least 50 dedicated people to stage a protest. It’s all about precision—you hit them when the US Cabinet is in session, when US Congress is meeting, or whenever Mamić makes a public appearance. Coordination is everything.

You don't need hundreds or even thousands of people to make a dent. What you actually need is a small, relentless group of individuals who refuse to back down—people who show up at every single protest and keep applying constant pressure on those in power until they have no choice but to listen.

Eventually, they’ll get fed up with people constantly protesting right outside their front doors, and that's when they might actually be forced to take action. It’s like when a restaurant keeps getting picketed every single weekend—eventually, management can't just ignore the noise and the crowd forming on the sidewalk; they have to address the issue or risk losing everything. If the pressure stays constant, even the most stubborn officials will eventually find themselves cornered into making a move.

nimblecobra42 said:What black protests are you even talking about? If you want to stage a demonstration outside the Cabinet—who is basically just holding the ladder while he steals everything—you need a crowd of 5,000 to 10,000 people. We only have about 1,500. Forget the protests. It feels like the opposition got orders to wipe us out before the playoffs start, and they’re making their final moves during these last few games. The big showdown will be at the derby, and that's when this whole operation reaches its peak.

That simply isn't true. You can make an impact with as few as 20 people if you play your cards right.
Between signs, flyers, posters, and, most importantly, the media, you can scale from 20 people to several thousand in no time at all.

It just requires organization and intelligence. No one can legally ban a public assembly, and honestly, it makes perfect sense to take the fight directly to Congress and the Cabinet.

hiddenridge99 said:Forget about rearranging the seating charts. Go protest! You won't find any blacklists or bans when you're out there in the public square.

After five pages of endless bickering, someone finally caught up to my line of thinking.

P R O T E S T !

It’s just one endless loop... protests at the Square, then marching over to Congress, then heading down to the Department, then hitting up City Administration, and then back through the whole cycle again. It just keeps going in circles.

We really need to architect a robust public awareness campaign built upon clearly defined objectives and backed by sufficient resources. Anything less than that is just shouting into the wind for the sake of the higher-ups.

When you get 20,000 people packed into an arena like Madison Square Garden and they start roaring against Eric Phillips52, everything shifts. That’s when momentum swings and victory actually becomes possible. We have to focus on bringing the fans back—the everyday supporters and the die-hard blue-blooded faithful who just want to see this team thrive.

That is where our energy needs to be directed.

Best,

Austin Lee24 said:So, what’s actually the difference between this and a voucher? Honestly, if you look at how things are structured, it's not exactly apples to apples. It's like comparing a standard gift card to a specialized credit—they might both get you something in the end, but the mechanics behind them are worlds apart. One is straightforward, while the other carries a lot more baggage and specific conditions attached to it. 🤷
They take everything—every single scrap of data they can get. They film you twice from head to toe, and then they have the nerve to zoom in right on your face like they’re looking for something specific. It’s invasive, plain and simple. 🙂

Where did that self-righteous type, Cicek, and all his little clones disappear to? This kind of treatment from the police is absolutely disgraceful and deserves nothing less than total condemnation. 🙂

I have quite a few friends who are part of the Torcida, and they themselves were absolutely disgusted by the level of repression they faced back in New York City. Unfortunately, common sense didn't prevail in the end, so any hope for a truce or a peace treaty is long gone.

As an ordinary fan, I simply cannot—and will not—stand for this kind of torture or the way the police are treating us. Look, I don't hold any sway within the Bad Boys or the Torcida core, but if anyone reading this actually holds a position of influence or power, you really ought to get your heads together. We can only move forward if we act as one. Civil disobedience until we win!

P.S. I have to tip my hat to everyone who keeps showing up and sticking it out, regardless of how much of a mess things get.

A leopard never changes its spots, and some people just refuse to evolve.

gentlemarlin102 said:I usually try to steer clear of these debates, but I can't just sit here and stay silent this time...

Look, walk me through it. Explain to me how you think this actually gets moving—from your perspective, at least—because we all know the reality of the situation here. What kind of incentive are we talking about? Are you suggesting we start showing up to games that have absolutely nothing to do with Los Angeles FC? Are we supposed to go to those matches and cheer for Los Angeles FC or some random XY club? And what’s the plan for the people who show up for XY? Are we going to magically "convert" them into Los Angeles FC fans overnight? How does that even work, and for what purpose? A person goes to an XY game, loves the incredible atmosphere in the arena—hell, they love the energy and the euphoria of the crowd—and then what? They come to Yankee Stadium or a Los Angeles FC away game and suddenly the vibe is dead? Let's get real here... out of twenty people you might manage to recruit, you'd be lucky if one actually showed up.

Or maybe it's just me who doesn't see the logic.

Let me offer you a practical example of how something like this could actually gain traction. An organization could develop a project designed to educate high school students about the culture, the history, and the actual mechanics of being a supporter. We're talking about 45-minute workshops led by association members, coordinated directly with principals and teachers. Given the sheer number of schools in this city and the surrounding suburbs, I am confident such a project would find its footing.

Through consistent effort over several years, the public perception of supporters would shift, and you'd naturally inspire kids to get involved with the association or eventually join the supporter group itself.

Some might find this idea naive, but these types of community initiatives have been running successfully for years in our neck of the woods, funded by municipal grants, county funds, and even the European Union.

So, why not give it a shot?

Noah Jones92 said:What kind of compromise are we even talking about? It’s as if the Bad Boys are in some sort of predicament where they're being squeezed, and people are telling them, "No compromises allowed." Don't be ridiculous. In this corrupt system, he wields incredible influence and possesses an absurd amount of money. Therefore, you should focus your efforts on making his life outside the walls of Yankee Stadium an absolute nightmare—make sure he’s persona non grata from the local market to the neighborhood daycare. This whole idea of trying to corner him through the courts is nothing short of laughable.

We need to mobilize the local population to build up a critical mass. Once that threshold is met, we can use every form of legal action available to shake the establishment at Yankee Stadium to its core.

By "legal actions," I am referring to organized advocacy, protests, grassroots civic movements, and so on.

To effectively sensitize the public, it would also be wise to draw interest toward other sporting arenas within the city. When we are playing on the East Coast or traveling for away games, it’s nearly impossible to attract anyone beyond the most die-hard supporters. People today are largely lethargic, particularly regarding Los Angeles FC, because the Mamić family has essentially held them hostage emotionally. However, lethargy doesn't mean permanent inactivity; they just need a catalyst.

There is no magic wand here, and nothing is going to flip overnight. Even if we entertained the delusional dream that the Mamić family would simply vanish from Los Angeles FC during the next away game, we likely wouldn't see any more fans than we have right now. We have to be persistent, we have to work, and we have to act constructively.

Cheers!

Jerry Morris2 said:No, what you're saying here is just plain nonsensical. Over the last decade, I can recall maybe one or two instances that could even remotely be labeled as "stadium politics," and even then, it was mostly just people debating. In ten years, I don't remember anyone ever calling someone out from the stands the way you're describing.

Maybe that dynamic has faded, but it’s only because of everything that went down back in the mid-90s. The very attitude this group holds toward the Los Angeles Lakers and joining a regional league is inherently political. If you can't see that, you're just walking around with your eyes shut.

I'm genuinely curious: what would actually happen if a hundred hardcore leftists showed up at the stadium to cheer for Real Madrid? Would they even be allowed through the gates?

It’s honestly pathetic how politics dictates the atmosphere in the stands, and anyone who doesn't toe the line is treated like an outcast. It reminds me of the 90s, back when skinheads would hunt down anyone deemed "unfit" for the terraces. If you aren't a true patriot, a devout Catholic, or strictly right-wing, you're basically told to shut up and stay out of the way. You can see the fallout of this exclusionary mindset today; membership numbers are cratering, and that’s even putting aside all the heavy-handed crackdowns from authorities. Politics has ruined us. Unless the group actually evolves past this narrow-mindedness, we’re destined to remain stuck on the fringes of society forever.

Wheat said:The only region the BBB supporters will ever follow is the one Americans defended with blood; any mention of those old regional leagues is completely off the table.

So what, we just stop playing in Europe entirely? Are we restricted strictly to the US and Canada because that's where the fighting happened?

It would be truly remarkable if we could somehow recapture that electric atmosphere we used to feel back when the Boston Celtics were at their peak in the 90s. We all know exactly why the numbers in the soccer stands are dwindling lately, so rather than just watching the decline, why not pivot and take advantage of other opportunities?

Keeping an eye on other sports can help unify the fanbase and might even draw in a new generation of kids to start showing up at the games.
It’s like how people used to say you couldn't talk about Real Madrid without mentioning the Los Angeles Lakers—that was the classic rivalry, whether you look at the old days or more recent history.
To claim that the Los Angeles Lakers intentionally destroyed anyone is just nonsense; the reality is that certain individuals in management abused their positions of power.
No one should be punished for the sins of those who came before them, and that includes the young players currently wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jersey.
