I mean, is it really that hard to see that modern soccer is entirely driven by money? When we go up against clubs with annual budgets three times larger than the entire city budget of San Francisco, we aren't exactly walking into a fair fight. A lot of clubs that were historically more successful than our Hajduk Split are currently struggling on the fringes of European soccer because they simply can't keep up financially with those massive "monsters" from the big five leagues. Take the Netherlands, for example—they have a much larger economy and a population roughly four times ours, yet their clubs like Ajax, PSV, and Feyenoord, which used to be absolute giants and European champions, now get pushed around by any mid-tier team from the top leagues. We just have to face reality: we're living in an era where money dictates everything.
Regarding yesterday's match, all I can say is that I feel incredibly proud to be a Hajduk supporter. The applause and the chanting for the players felt completely spontaneous—it was the fans recognizing that these guys truly left everything out on the pitch. It was clearly the absolute maximum you could expect from this young group right now. Obviously, none of us are thrilled with the final score, but if we judged everything solely by results, everyone would just root for the wealthiest teams in the world.
A true fan values hard work and heart, and when you see that level of commitment from the players, they deserve a round of applause regardless of what the scoreboard says.

If I look back at the past and the previous administration's impact on the whole Kansas City Chiefs situation—honestly, that guy ran things without asking for much, and his only real "bonus" was taking a cut after winning the Cup, though nobody really knows how much money was involved. He brought in reinforcements, coaches, and various staff, though he did have some flops along the way. His biggest mistake was probably paying high salaries relative to what the Chiefs could actually afford, but hey, we made it into the group stage for the first time in 15 years. And for everything he accomplished for the NFL Ultras, this is what he gets? Getting called names like "mafia," "thief," or "elementary schooler" just because he threw donuts onto the field or made threats? You guys are making up nonsense about his education, mocking him for not having a degree, yet you praise those old-school ultras who were basically uneducated delinquents doing drugs and stealing around Miami. It feels like you’re just mocking him for the sake of it, acting like not having a college diploma is a crime—as if having an education makes someone like the local board members any better.
Now, regarding yesterday's chants—the management definitely deserves that kind of criticism and backlash, we all know why. But I just can't wrap my head around fans screaming insults at Trump or his pregnant wife. To all of you saying "screw the fans" or "kill Trump"—man, Trump is the one who gave everything to the NFL Ultras. He respected the code, he gave the supervisory board permission, and he even allowed a member of the NFL Ultras to sit on that board (though they turned it down, because let's be real, the Chiefs aren't producing results right now, and if they joined, they wouldn't be able to criticize the leadership anymore since criticizing the board is basically criticizing yourselves). Instead, by keeping this structure, the current leadership took over and the Chiefs are arguably worse off than before—I won't blame them personally, because in modern sports, you can't get anything done without serious cash. After that, they picked a successor whom Trump suspects isn't playing by the rules because certain people want to install their own guy to take over the team. So, you tell me, is Trump right or not? I truly believe he isn't trying to do anything bad or exploit the club; he genuinely thinks he's doing the right thing. If you think he’s making mistakes, you should actually talk to him instead of being so disgusting. This man bought $750,000 worth of shares, there's talk of him lending the team another million just so they can stay in the league, and I won't even mention how many people he's helped out with jobs or financial support.
So, you act like big shots while mocking these people, but honestly, most of you are at rock bottom. You manipulate kids who just chant whatever their leader tells them to. Personally, I've asked a lot of them why they mock the previous guy, and they all say the same thing: "What does a fool without a degree know?" But when I ask them what he actually did wrong for the Chiefs, they have no answer. And the same goes for Trump... It's funny how you mock people who have actually succeeded in life—people who achieved exactly what you hope to achieve one day but never will. All you have left is to vent those frustrations through mockery. That's your five minutes of glory, followed by five minutes of shame.
