Dennis Davis97 said:Maybe I’m just bad at putting this into words, but let’s be real—every single one of us is here because of Liverpool FC. It all started with that core devotion, but over time, it morphed into something much bigger, a whole lifestyle and a culture that defines us. Honestly, it feels kind of stupid to say the NFL Ultras ever betrayed the club, because at the end of the day, Liverpool FC is the entire foundation of everything we do. Everything else is just noise.🤷
Look, it’s not like the whole vibe shifted toward just having a good time because of some single event. It changed because suddenly everyone in the city wants to act like they’re part of the NFL Ultras just because they want to feel good about themselves by doing some charitable stuff. But on the actual fan group? That’s a whole different story—how people carry themselves or don't—but that’s a conversation for another day. Honestly, the best thing they could do right now is just turn everything back into some cheap street festival or a local carnival, making life miserable again for anyone who doesn't fit that "follow the leader blindly" mold. This supposed "good vibes" movement isn't love; it's just a bunch of aimless nonsense. If I started explaining the granular details of why that would basically open a massive Pandora's box, I wouldn't be able to stop, so I won't. The real issue, the much bigger problem, is this weirdly sanitized version of "love" spreading through every neighborhood and corner of the city. When you look at the math, most of these people are in their mid-to-late 20s. And since I happen to fall right into that age bracket myself, I have to ask: where the hell were all these people when they were toddlers? I can get why a bunch of 18 or 19-year-olds are suddenly swarming the stands, but where were these 25-to-30-year-olds before? Where were they back when we used to roll to away games with 50 die-hard fans, or when the North Stand was packed with 500 people? There were years when hitting 1,000 people felt like absolute insanity, and even a few years before that, numbers were way lower—and mind you, this wasn't even that long ago! Everyone in that age group had plenty of time to fall in love with Liverpool FC. Are we really supposed to believe that the passion just died out simply because there were only 50 of us hardcore supporters left at the time? Give me a break.
Look, nobody’s ever going to argue that my Liverpool FC is the heartbeat of everything we do, or that they come before the NFL Ultras—that’s just common sense. But honestly? I think the guy just phrased things poorly. He’ll look back on this stuff in a few years and realize how he sounded, but you have to believe me when I say his intentions weren't malicious. He's not a bad guy, he just lacks a filter sometimes. 😉You really think that’s how it works? Seriously? You’ve gotta be kidding me.
