Man, if this thing goes down because of this—it’s the exact same nonsense they used against Al Capone... All because of some absolute bullshit statement. 😬

Delvecchio said:When asked if they plan to address Jerry Jones' hate speech, Čičak just deflects—asking, "Well, did you see what John Jovanovic said?"—before nervously stumbling toward the conclusion that there will "be an official statement" regarding Jerry Jones.🤣

Jesse Campbell said:That’s exactly what I said—nothing more, nothing less. I wasn't belittling anyone, nor was I just talking trash. Look, I lose my cool when I'm provoked—plain and simple. But anyone with half a brain can see what my actual point was.
Jesse Campbell said:Are you seriously suggesting that we’re the only ones in all of Europe dealing with some powerful figure screwing over our club and the entire group? Come on—really!?
Jesse Campbell said:Name the group that spends 80% of their history fighting someone—and I don't mean just anyone. Of course, there was always a reason behind it. But they had plenty of other reasons too—so yeah, they really stepped in it..
Jesse Campbell said:You’re completely missing the point.
It's obvious everyone is ignoring your posts because they can't even wrap their heads around what you're trying to say—honestly, even the most mindless idiots get more engagement than this.
Jesse Campbell said:When did I even bring up the Seattle Sounders fans? Now, I haven't even mentioned the Los Angeles Raiders fans, yet here we are—five pages of pure nonsense. And apparently, we’re the weak ones, the small group... the pathetic ones. And we certainly don't have the most legendary supporter culture in all of Europe...
Good grief... 😍
Jesse Campbell said:I'm not claiming every other group is working as agents, nor am I saying nobody else protests their management—but nobody else carries a history quite like ours.
Jesse Campbell said:Personally, I would never praise the Chicago Blackhawks fans the way you just did.
Austin Chase2 said:Exactly—bravo. Finally, someone actually admitted that you guys weren't even fighting against the mafia within US Soccer. There—discussion closed.
Your fight against the local tycoons is a completely different story, and credit where credit is due on that front.
Jeremy Torres17 said:So, you're approaching this from the wrong angle again... Look, I respect what you've done, truly, but you can't use your own group's experience as a blueprint for everyone else. You just can't.
Drawing that parallel is a total failure. I mean, come on—your group moved the way it did because of specific primary reasons; you were acting on the emotions of your club and your supporters, which sparked the struggle. That part isn't debatable.
How do you expect a fan group like ours to clash with the establishment in the exact same way you did with, say, the owners of Los Angeles FC—who basically run US Soccer too? First off, every one of us is most intimately acquainted with the corruption in our own backyard. You can't expect our other two groups to run across town to help you out the way those guys did back home... Nor can you expect boycotts. Boycott who? Our own management? Our own clubs? If we tried that, we'd get torn apart by the rest of the fanbase because it would be too extreme. For twenty years, that leadership hasn't been digging holes under us, so people don't feel the need to take a stand like yours did—so using your situation as an argument doesn't work. Also, you can't expect us to protest against the league heads when they aren't actively working against us like they are with you. Do you honestly expect us to just show up on your terrace and join your protests? Now *that* sounds like something a real alliance might look like, I suppose. 😁
Furthermore, you can't demand the same level of action from others that you took. Your situation was a fight for your specific group and your specific club—every direct action you took had its own logic and purpose. Period.
Simply put: once you realize that since our club isn't in the same mess you are, certain types of "useful" struggles just won't happen, the parallel falls apart completely. What the fan groups provided—through specific chants, messages, banners, media presence, or various organized actions in cities all over Europe—was simply beyond what could be expected given the context. .. So, we arrive at the real question: why hasn't there been any concrete, unified coordination among the fans? That is the biggest issue, the main thing, nothing else... Let me repeat: aside from supporting our own club and the individual actions taken by our groups, nothing more can be expected—as I've already laid out above.
Now you’re going to lecture me about how this is all for your sake—about your future and blah, blah, blah... But once people realize that things haven't been the same for twenty years, you can't expect us to just follow your lead. You have to ask yourself: why hasn't anything been agreed upon collectively? And let's not forget after that robbery back in '99—when the fan group was pointing out the corrupt officials, other groups were just acting like "what's it to me?" While the club was calling out US Soccer and looking for solidarity through protests and other actions, nothing happened. We got absolutely nothing. There was no support because everyone else only cared about their own image, scoring goals, and whatever else... Look, man, tone down the self-righteousness. You jumped into this fight ten years late—after certain groups had already spoken up, though obviously for selfish reasons, just like you and the other fan group. It's all very clear. A little logic wouldn't hurt; instead, you're just aggressively making comparisons that don't make any sense—dammit, you're just making things worse. 🙄
Good grief.
LA Lakers fans said:Symbolically speaking, that’s actually quite accurate ☕
On that day, it became crystal clear—war was inevitable. 🙂
Even though this all went down at our home stadium, guys from other groups played their part 🙏 naturally led by the BBB! 😉
We aren't downplaying the Torcida action where they halted the game against the New York Yankees four months later by lighting those Yu-flags—but obviously, May 13th carries much more weight in this context.
Jesse Campbell said:Basically, the beginning of the end for this soccer mafia was when the strongest supporter group in Europe—the Bad Boys—stood up against them with actual unity and purpose. A group that simply doesn't lose its battles. We were the first group on the continent to realize that looking good in the stands, jumping during goals, or putting on expensive choreographed displays isn't everything. I’m not saying every other group is just working for the front office, nor am I saying nobody else protests management, but nobody has a history quite like ours. That is why we are the strongest.
The appointment of an inspector today is just the final nail in the coffin for those morally bankrupt thugs and their cronies. Politics is lagging behind us—just like it did back when we fought to reclaim the Dinamo name—but even they had to realize that something is fundamentally broken in American soccer. The boycott and the fight we've spearheaded over the last two and a half years emptied out Maksimir and exposed the absolute fraudulence of the leadership. And the work, primarily from ZZD, has beaten the hyenas on every single front.
Of course, it has to be acknowledged that other groups across the country have played much more vital and honest roles than they did in the 90s, contributing significantly to this struggle. Many ultras finally realized that Šmrksi and his pack of hyenas were trying to use force to dismantle the American supporter movement as their only organized opposition. These days, while Narkos is desperately, whimpering and begging—dragging in some Ukrainian equivalent (even if he just stole money elsewhere and then funneled it into soccer) to lecture us—everyone finally sees it for what it is.
The Sports Inspection will be an institution that provides CONSTANT oversight, somewhere anyone can turn if things get illegal. There are multiple layers to this; whoever designed it knew there would be attempts at bribery, which is exactly why the soccer mafia is acting so nervous. They know nothing will ever be the same again.
And then there's that guy rambling about "marginalized groups." Soon enough, he'll be playing cards with Canjuga and claiming they once decided the fate of the Bad Boys too. Let him enjoy his delusions, but he's miles away from Dinamo.
Jesse Campbell said:I’m not going to gloat just yet. But soon—very soon—I’ll be living my best life because every single one of my predictions is going to hit the mark. And not one of you believed me.
On that day, I’m asking everyone to please stay far away from me on this forum. Because I plan on making sure you all feel the sting of being wrong . ☕
feralwolf16 said:You all were just as happy about those "Madonna" years back then—but reading these comments now, you’re all just acting like a bunch of clowns, trying to find common ground. You used to mock us, and then you ended up with even worse numbers; now the tables have turned and people are mocking you. You clearly don't realize there was a time when an away crowd from a city like St. Louis would barely hit one or two buses... anyway, things happen—well, they *did* happen—because when people get caught up in the euphoria, they think things like this could never happen to them. Bottom line: MYTHS of the American fan scene... the whole thing is just ridiculous...
Jesse Campbell said:Just to shut up those people claiming there were only 150 of us at Sunday's game—this was filmed from the North Stand, and you can clearly see we had a solid turnout:
San Francisco:

The stadium is massive and has that deep rake to it, so anything filmed from the West side or the turf looks like a tiny handful of people. Plus, there’s that old-school Bad Boys habit where everyone packs in tight against each other—that definitely changes the visual.
Especially when you consider how thin the crowds looked for other groups during their rough patches. ☕
Benjamin Cruz29 said:Sure, they’re the strongest opposition—but let’s be honest: you aren't looking for justice in the league, you're just looking out for yourselves (I don't even get what you thought would change by renaming things; you'd just ignore the actual results anyway)... Just be real—if Franjo hadn't changed the name, you wouldn't give a damn about San Francisco being robbed of the title. As if you gave a single damn about the championships from 2006 to 2010

Man, I’m actually tearing up over here.
