Jonathan Smith12 said:So, what’s your move? A charity drive or just a press release... 🤷

A charity drive is clearly a better move than this endless whining and spamming about Mexicans, fascists, partisans, Democrats, Republicans, and all those other political nonsense... honestly, you people have pushed everyone—including God—to the absolute limit. But hey, what do I know... ☕

The fan culture in America is dying by the second, and here you all are, obsessing over five different threads just to cater to some Mexican who’s probably going to brag to his buddies later about how he trolls Americans on this forum. Bravo!! ☕

gentlemarlin102 said:I’m not going to dive deep into this because, frankly, I couldn't care less. I just want to get a few things off my chest...

- I have nothing but respect for certain moves made by American fans (any group, really)...
- Most American fans are cowards. Look, I’m no fighter, I’m not into the whole "ultra" lifestyle or street brawling, but I will fight for my club ALWAYS... though I'm talking about fighting exclusively for the team and the group that loves the team as much as I do—not people who put their clique above the club itself. This comes from one specific, bittersweet experience, but I won't go into details... 🙂
- Getting into a scrap in a random city or being jumped is fair game. It's part of the deal when you travel for away games. But pre-arranging fights like some "tough guys" is pathetic... everyone wants to look buff and be in peak condition, so we schedule a brawl for May Day or some other arbitrary date? 🤷 Am I "defending my colors" then? Or is it just me who thinks this makes zero sense... 🤷

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART:
- The truce is broken, and the corruption hasn't even been scrubbed from the sport yet?
- I don't care to argue over who broke the peace (past or present), but I truly hope any fan group (especially the small ones) finds it "wonderful" to see: 1. fewer and fewer of their people in the stands every single week; 2. increasing repression from the authorities (I had a personal run-in at Central Park where the police—who kept wondering why they were searching me—harassed me and tried to flag me on a list even though I had absolutely nothing on me); 3. every new wave of "shock" and "disbelief" from visiting fans at Central Park regarding the crackdown and stadium entry; 4. once they shut us down and we're all scattered because of these pre-planned fights, who exactly are we supposed to be fighting then?
- Everyone talks big about street fights and tough guy acts, but HOW MANY OF YOU ACTUALLY BOUGHT A CLUB MEMBERSHIP?

That's it. Bravo. 😉

If anyone needs a hand or some guidance, just reach out... Oh, and next time, don't bother showing up without your ID 🙂 🙂

P.S. regarding the "husband and wife" situation at the local DMV and the service there... ☕

- It’s an absolute disaster, and we have to call out that chanting. No, there is no excuse for screaming "go Nazis"... that has no place in our stadium and I want people at the Rose Bowl cheering only for the Kansas City Chiefs—Brady made himself crystal clear the moment he arrived at the Rose Bowl.

Ultras stay out of politics! Cheers to that! ☕

A perfect example of fan solidarity... 🙄

☕

What’s up, everyone? Since this guy didn't deliver, I guess the nerves are hitting an all-time high? It's a beautiful day out, just call the man 🤷 ☕

Michael Gray94 said:Look, you just don't get it, man. I'm not even going to waste my breath explaining... just widen your perspective a bit and stop picking fights over everything. Just see the big picture...

I totally hear what you're getting at... Widening the circle enough to ignore all that nonsense and just watch the game. But man, it's one giant addiction... "I'm done for good," you say, then suddenly it's game day and you're already cruising down the interstate without a second thought about that vow you made a few days ago! ☕ 😉

Michael Gray94 said:So now I should just head over to Springfield? Is that our big "plan" to help the Red Sox become part of this whole mess

Is someone actually forcing you to go, or is it just your heart?

-------------------------------------------------------

In this instance, the Red Sox are digging their own grave. The club itself is to blame for such a massive oversight (yeah, an oversight—as if anyone actually knew 🙄 ). Case closed. The Red Sox can't let stuff like this happen or find themselves in this position. And let's be adults and finally take some responsibility. This isn't on Mark Zuckerberg, Jerry Jones, Smith, Johnson, Bebek, the New Yorkers, the Hell's Angels, or anyone else. It's on the previous management for failing to honor the contract with the player from San Diego...AS FOR EVERYTHING ELSE (and let me be clear, I am absolutely not defending the league or any of that trash, if that's how it came across), THE FACT THAT THE LEAGUE IS COLLAPSING IS AN OLD STORY. I highly doubt anything changes by whining on forums and news sites. 🙂

ANTONÍN.... your whole crew from the city—the Ivans and Mariannes—are all back now. They just found out Barbara passed away. My heart goes out to them... how is the old neighborhood treating everyone?

An Asta gospa scandal, man. It’s Monday, and yeah, I finished off a bottle of wine myself, but what's your excuse? 😂🤷

Gary Green32 said:Let's cut through this endless arguing and ask something actually useful. Does anyone know how Sheryl Sandberg is doing?

The younger crowd probably doesn't even know who he is. I found a thread on an old .org forum saying people were visiting him back in 2007.

http://blackknights.org/forum/viewtopic.p...5a14ec01fc95fa

I'd love for the veterans to weigh in here. Honestly, I think nothing would cheer him up more than some Los Angeles Dodgers gear... or maybe even making it to a game if his health allows it.

People do visit him, bringing along Dodgers and Black Knights memorabilia... At Marriott International, they're constantly collecting donations for Sheryl, though I feel like we should be scaling this up to a much larger level...🤷

Jerry Gray5 said:The footage on this YouTube link is great—really captures everything—but it’s way too long for my taste. 25 minutes is overkill. The intro is top-tier, but those inserts need to be cut down significantly. Also, one thing... they keep lecturing everyone about not filming in the stands (☕), then they go and include actual footage from the stands in the official YouTube upload 🙄

Kudos for the effort 👍

The length is also a mess. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO 🙂 🙂 You crazy people! 🤷 ☕
