When it comes to pure grit and taking on the government machine—plus dealing with their own hired muscle—we’re easily at the top tier of the global fan scene. I know, sounds cocky, but it’s the truth. Who can really blame those Red Star or Partizan fans? They’ve got clubs that are basically joke setups, funded by actual drug cartels. Thank God they were never our role models. And honestly, if we started talking about their little "tours" through Chicago back in the '80s, we’d be here all night—but hey, wrong time, wrong place. They’ve spent the last fifteen years of the internet era making plenty of noise online, so there’s no point digging up the past. So, what’s your counter-argument to Jesse Campbell’s claim? If we aren't one of the best stories in the universe, then what are we? It’s hard to play humble when you see the kind of sacrifices some people make for their club and their crew. Meanwhile, those losers from the North side are basically just counting down the minutes until they vanish—either by choice or because the "North issue" finally gets settled once and for all.🙂

Look, maybe just mind your own business and stop acting like an expert on stuff you clearly don't get. These same kids—the ones people are criticizing—are usually the first ones to pull together a massive donation drive for disaster relief in the Midwest, or put on a benefit concert to help people who've lost everything. So, yeah, maybe dial back the moralizing a bit; life isn't exactly a straight line. Conflicts happen in families, sure, but they happen on the streets too—especially when you've got these types of characters running around. People in the Midwest have been helped before, and they'll be helped again—it's not like the Mediterranean Coast was the only region that stepped up during the war. Even Washington, D.C. did its part, just like every other corner of America. It was the same during the war, and it's the same during peacetime. So, don't go throwing shade if you don't understand the internal politics playing out in D.C. right now. This drama is going to keep happening until people finally grow up. They've bitten off more than they can chew, and eventually, everyone's going to have to pay the price.

Look, I was talking about the Republican Party back in the 90s—don't try to drag me into your endless communist debates because, frankly, I couldn't care less.

Just so you and everyone else reading this know, I don't vote Republican in any election, so quit trying to pin some "fanboy" label on me. I really don't give a damn about them. My point was simply that back in '91, they at least kicked off the process of dismantling that entity you love so much—that place that crushed Americans wherever it went and eventually drove the whole country into a complete economic tailspin. And by some miracle, it actually survived; the Soviet Union would have definitely gone down as the ultimate masterclass in how to successfully drive an economy into the dirt. You and your parents probably still sit around crying about those "good old days." Instead of realizing that free-market capitalism is basically the only way to solve the messes we deal with today, we just let sheep lead us—people who can barely manage their own households, let alone run a country.

Jeremy Ramirez55 said:What kind of substances are you on? You really think the Republican Party isn't spreading that old communist stench? Go ahead—count the communists in the odd rows and then the even ones, and you'll see where the actual elite resides. It’s just that some of them are better at waving the flags that happen to be in style right now. But honestly, anyone with half a brain can see there's zero conceptual difference between them.

Don't make me laugh—the Republican Party actually built this country back in the early '90s, whereas those Democrats with all their loud "anti-fascist" posturing were busy fleeing from Congress and singing old socialist anthems. You can't even compare the two; it's apples and oranges. Back in the day, the Republicans were the ones actually building a nation, but the problem is they've lost their way and devolved into the clientelist mess they are today. The Democratic Party was never about nation-building to begin with—I mean, only a total moron would vote for them. That said, I'll say this: I support whoever goes for it, he's got my vote. We desperately need some libertarians in the mix.😁

Edward Allen36 said:Yeah, and then I hear someone say, you really ought to vote for the Democratic Party because the Republicans won't actually get anything done. Like, what has the Democratic Party ever actually accomplished? They couldn't care less about Mamić—honestly, they don't care about anyone.

The Democratic Party is just as much trash as the Republican Party—it’s just that the Republicans at least claim to support this country, whereas those guys won't even go that far. They just steal, and to top it all off, they persecute anyone who actually loves this nation. It's like back in the old communist days... look, the Republican Party is just the same crap in different packaging, and yeah, they aren't going to get rid of Mamić either, but at least they aren't spreading that whole communist stench throughout the country. That's the only reason they're a tiny bit less irritating to me than the Democrats; otherwise, their politics are identical and you shouldn't expect any actual progress from either side. Honestly, until Jesse Campbell becomes Prime Minister with his libertarian, neoliberal capitalism bullshit, nothing is ever going to change. Right, Jesse Campbell? 😁

Honestly, forget about shutting them down—just let the whole thing burn out. What they’re doing right now is just a temporary fix, a flash in the pan. This trash won't last forever; if they don't crash and burn soon, they'll end up behind bars eventually. They've started arresting government officials, but you know this piece of filth won't be touched until the timing is "perfect." I'm not going to try and pin down an exact year—it's impossible to be precise with how things run in this country—but two or three years seems like a reasonable window for the fallout. Though, let's be real, I highly doubt the Republican Party will actually try to clean house once they take over, since this guy is practically part of their DNA at this point. They probably even fund half of them, which is why he's got enough cash to stay untouchable. No trials, no accountability... and unfortunately, no real democratic elections either.

And regarding the stadium situation—if this trend of banning people keeps up, maybe we should just stop showing up to home games altogether until that scumbag is gone from the club? Just focus on away matches instead. I’m saying this because we need to protect our own. These groups survive on people, and if the authorities keep handing out bans, they can't even get into the games for free like they used to. Look, screw pride and screw playing at the stadium when it's obvious they can just do whatever they want. The government doesn't give a damn; politics is too bogged down in its own mess to care about the team or the sport. It's always the fans who take the hit. As soon as there's any kind of unrest, the politicians start preaching about "tightening the laws," trying to copy that draconian "English model" where you can't even stand in the stands without someone harassing you for supposedly "obstructing their view." 🙂

All in all, yeah, it's a rough stretch for the group, but there's no use spiraling. You just have to stay persistent and keep making the right moves.

Will leaving the Boston Celtics ever actually get easier?

- The Celtics are an institution, just like Real Madrid. About ten years ago, I started heading out to see San Francisco games, and they’ll always be my first love—don't get me wrong—but the Celtics are *my* team. They're under my skin, and when the day finally comes that I have to walk away, it’s going to hurt. It's going to be a tearful goodbye. I am tied to this club.

I honestly think Al Capone is one of those "institutions" that everyone is going to miss—and it’s not even about basketball, really. It's more about that specific type of player we need in sports across the board. Honestly, bring back that kind of grit... we need people like that, not these soul-less, zero-character mercenaries working for guys like Jerry Maguire.

Jesse Campbell said:It’s high time we call a truce—and then immediately start a war to root out the very last crook left in American soccer.

Does this rule apply to the "big boss," too? I mean, are we going to pause the game only when the owner starts behaving like a complete degenerate in the furnace room in front of everyone?

Honestly, you can stop paying attention to those idiots altogether—it’ll be much more entertaining just watching their pathetic little road trips from afar. Their run in the city is over, but what about the rest of them? They actually think they’ll have an entourage everywhere they go... they think they can just act like total clowns, hiding behind a wall of police officers like polar bears looking for cover. One of these days, they’re going to run straight into some real trouble—something intense enough to leave a permanent mark—and frankly, they'll deserve it. But I shouldn't even be surprised, really. This whole thing has been scripted for ages. It honestly baffles me that that scumbag didn't just set up his own "loyal supporters group" sooner—you know, some fake "fan club" dedicated to "organized cheering" for his "beloved team." Absolute garbage.

Look, this is coming straight from my own brain—and if you’ve got some kind of beef with me, we can always settle things in a field somewhere so you can see for yourself that I'm not some shady character. 😍

Jonathan Lewis3 said:I am never going to a game again unless this stuff actually gets written into some kind of constitutional amendment.

The Ultra is the most honorable group in the country, and you all can say whatever you want—honestly. We all know how the Bad Boys behaved back in small-town Ohio, or when they were looking for trouble in Chicago... which is exactly what happened when they showed up in Philly or even at the last stadium, despite being outnumbered three to one.

The Ultra was unarmed at the last spot, and that almost cost us a massive brawl. But seriously, it’s just insane to be debating this while guys are sitting in a jail cell right now.

Look, I already said I’m not against weapons on principle, but we really need to scale them back because someone is eventually going to get absolutely wrecked. I don't see why we should try to imitate those groups over in Europe or elsewhere—people who just slaughter and kill each other. The whole point of fan rivalries isn't to leave someone permanently disabled or dead. These guys overseas think they’re so tough because they carry weapons, but if they ever ran into some Russians or Poles, they’d be wiped out instantly. Generally speaking, weapons just give an edge to people who aren't physically prepared—realistically, some random kid could jump you with a stick and win the fight. Without weapons, that’s impossible; the kid might take a couple of slaps and then go home crying to his mom for lunch. 😁

My take? A combination of both would be best. That said, we should be slowly reducing the weaponry. These recent clashes prove that instead of decreasing, the violence is actually ramping up. I’m certain that in a few years, if people keep acting this stupid, someone is going to get seriously hurt. Who is the "winner" in a conflict where someone ends up dead from a stabbing or a shooting? We need to ditch those old-school violent traditions right now. Just because they think they’re hard because they walk around with guns and knives is their business, but I don't want us sinking to that level—to the point where we show up to a stadium fueled by pure hatred just to kill each other. And honestly, it will happen if these kids don't get reined in. There are older fans around, sure, but the younger generation is definitely dominating the weapon game. So, we need more control, though I know—believe me, I know—that it's probably impossible and won't change a thing. The older generation just doesn't have any influence over the kids anymore, which is part of the problem. You can't just "educate" them; everyone is living in their own little movie and doesn't care about real-world consequences.

As for that small-town incident and your point about weapon usage—I don't know why you're lecturing us when you guys are the ones constantly shouting about it. From firecrackers to throwing rocks from the stands, your crowd makes projectiles a specialty. I remember once being in a situation where I almost took a firecracker to the head because one of your guys launched it right past my face. This is serious stuff, and some people have zero clue what they're doing; they have absolutely no self-control. Obviously, you shouldn't ban everything entirely, but regulation is necessary. Like I said, I can see the merit in both styles, but everything needs to be moderate. We need to be ready for the street fights against Italians or whoever else we might run into. And regarding the stuff about Russians or Poles—you have to stay in shape for all kinds of crews that practice different styles. Some people would say if you aren't keeping up with the trends, you aren't "cool." You have to be ready for any kind of clash, which is why I support both approaches, provided it's done in a way that doesn't result in deaths. If we keep going like this, there's zero guarantee we won't end up there.

cosmicdrifter44 said:die-hard fans who won't back down—even if they shut us down entirely...

If you’re asking me—though I doubt anyone really wants my two cents—we probably would've stayed in a state of truce. But honestly, there's no point in making a massive scene about it, because let's face it, the peace was always destined to break. It couldn't have lasted forever. In fact, this whole thing was pretty much predictable—most people were just happy once those vouchers were scrapped, and that was basically the end of that chapter.

Jacob Newman74 said:☕

I'm just messing with you guys. Obviously, I’m against the axes and the heavy bats—look, as the saying goes, it’s about being a man or not, and you need some real guts to handle both the organized chaos and that raw street style (going all out 😁).

I honestly think blending both styles would actually level up our scene. I know there are plenty of die-hards who can't stand the idea of open-field brawling, but let's be real: you see who's got actual heart and grit when things go down in an open field. It's just hands and feet out there—no gadgets, no weapons—and it’d be a hell of a change of pace to see how people actually hold their own in that kind of setting. Plus, it's practical. When we eventually run into those Americans or Russians who live for field fights, we need to be ready. It shouldn't just be about throwing flares and bottles; if our "arsenal" runs dry, we need to know how to take them down with nothing but our fists. That's why I'm pushing for that field-style discipline in our scene—to pin some opponents down in the grass. And hey, they'll have the chance to do the same to us if they play it better. These open areas aren't all bad, and it helps dodge the bans while still letting us claim a victory. With these sticks and other crap, there’s always that massive risk that someone swings a little too hard and someone ends up in the ER. People overdo it with the gear too much—that's just my two cents, so don't come at me, you stick-waving enthusiasts. 🤣

Because if we keep going this way, we won't be swinging sticks for long before everyone gets locked up—and then the only fighting we'll be doing is in prison against the guys looking to jump us in the showers. 😁

This whole street style thing... honestly, it feels like it's mostly for guys who lack the guts or the actual physical conditioning to hold their own against someone in their own weight class. It’s pretty obvious you can’t truly gauge the raw strength of a crew this way—that’s a major downside if you ask me. Then again, there's something about those pre-arranged fights that just kills the thrill. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind setting up a couple of scraps in some empty field once or twice a year just to see where everyone stands, but generally? I’m all about the city streets—stalking your opponent and catching that specific look on their face when they realize they've been blindsided and are about to get absolutely wrecked. That’s what gives this whole urban guerrilla vibe its real edge. That said, maybe we should bring those field fights back into the mix just to keep the casualty count down and stop the local authorities from piling on bans that end up suffocating every single crew. It seems like perfectly sound logic to me, but I'm not holding my breath thinking it'll actually happen in our scene anytime soon.

Robert Cooper60 said:if those 110 bans hit people who actually show up to games on weekdays... if I were a cop, I’d just say "nice haul"
it’s hard to see that as a win for either side, really

but whatever—it’s intense

"A nice haul," sure, but I’ve got a feeling this whole crackdown is just going to pique the interest of some kids looking for a little adventure. We'll see some new faces in the stands, so there are pros and cons to all of this. 😁 The main thing is we need more young blood flowing in; these groups can't survive on old glory alone. We need kids—they're the future. The old guard is fine for stability, but everyone needs fresh energy to stay alive. 🙂 Without these kinds of stunts, there’s no interest—or at least, interest drops compared to when this stuff happens. Everyone wants to be a rebel, and honestly, that’s what draws people to the stands. That repression, that life-or-death struggle—without it, our world feels dull, devoid of any adrenaline, and let's face it, adrenaline is what makes fans, well, fans. So, yeah, fight the mob all you want, but we can't ignore what we are. Conflict is baked into the fan experience, and when two groups cross paths, things are bound to get messy—and they *should* get messy. Maybe a truce would have been better if it had lasted a bit longer, but hey, it's over now, no point crying about it. Life goes on. Our struggle continues despite the bans and all the hurdles thrown our way; fans will come out stronger on the other side of this whole mess. And that's the only thing that matters, alongside the fact that the American police force is riddled with bribes and corruption. And of course, screw you, Mamić. 🙂

Austin Watson38 said:Everyone’s acting all outraged on this thread—honestly, just shut it down. Everyone’s turned into such a bunch of sensitive little snowflakes. It’s easy to sit there, munching on burgers and chanting "defense, defense," while every suburban grandma pretends to be on our side. If we actually stood our ground, management would be out of a job by tomorrow morning. You guys really make me sick.

I am 100% with you—nothing beats a good old-fashioned blunt object to the skull... oops, sorry, meant to say "to the ego." 🤣

"Defense, defense." 😍 Please. There’s nothing quite as sweet as catching a sucker punch to the eye, then using those scars and traumas to charm women later on. 😁

Sean Wilson2 said:Bo is a legend! 👍 Everyone needs to take a second to ask themselves if they could be giving more for this group—because at the end of the day, it isn't just about how much you can run or how hard you can throw a punch, it’s about heart.. As for those bandwagoners... honestly, they aren't worth the breath.

When we're talking about fans, nothing else has ever really mattered—not from getting into scraps to how often you show up at the stadium—it all comes down to that heart. I know some people will roll their eyes and call that cheesy, but Bo is living proof that it’s real. God, if only there were more guys like him; things would be a hell of a lot easier while we're fighting against the absolute monsters and evil forces that have marched their way into our club.

And why are we even surprised by this bunch of losers? It’s enough to see they've aligned themselves with the management—to me, that tells you everything you need to know about the kind of people they are.

Chris Castillo68 said:I honestly can't tell if their boss actually heard them when they accidentally started singing—you know, that whole "listen to us, oh people of the sacred order" bit... just total chaos.

It’s basically a perfect snapshot of our society right now—just a bunch of people selling their souls.
