William Turner28 said:you didn't just experience those street defeats back in the 90s☕

You conveniently left out the part about that tiny little group of maybe 100 or 200 people who travel to away games and hold their own against teams like Dortmund or PSG—a group that actually commands respect wherever they show up.😉

You also forgot to mention Spartan... and how the NFL hooligans have dealt with similar situations, but I guess that doesn't fit the narrative for some internet troll.

Jesse Campbell said:Look, let’s set aside the protest signs and the brawls for a second, because the second half of this post is actually the core of what I’ve been trying to get through to them.

Back in the late 80s, those guys had a genuine shot at becoming what we eventually turned into. Instead, they just morphed into something else entirely.

Thank God for small mercies, though honestly, once the water finally settles, we might need to do a little bit of deconstructing ourselves.

Jesse Campbell said:That’s kind of the crux of the matter, isn't it? I mean, you look at how Real Madrid has basically owned the league for over two decades, while BBB has just sat there acting as the primary opposition for that entire stretch. Doesn't that strike you as a little bit bizarre? Just a tiny bit surreal when you actually sit down and think about the sheer oddity of that dynamic.

Anyway, just let it all wash over you.

Alex Campbell54 said:there’s really nothing quite like the way the Raiders love to crowd right up against the stadium fence

I mean, honestly, I think your crowd would be doing the exact same thing if they actually had anyone showing up.

Jesse Campbell said:Look, I’m not exactly lining up with most of Paul Bunyan’s political takes—far from it—but calling the guy an idiot is just plain ridiculous. Honestly, it feels a bit much when half the people in this thread couldn't define half the terms he uses, even if they had Google at their fingertips. ☕

And honestly, beyond his views, you have to look at everything he’s actually done for this group; he’s the type who stands up against injustice without giving a second thought to the fallout—you know, that whole "standing up for the little guy against the giants" thing? It actually makes me feel a little sick seeing anyone from my side of the bleachers try to label him a joke; it's just sad. Though, I guess at least he managed to agree with Tobon on something for once.
The conversation started out talking about Pavon and somehow spiraled into discussions about extremists; I mean, what can you even say about us Americans...

If anyone happens to know if Jack Daniel ever got back to that guy who called him right after the game, could you let me know how things turned out? It was such a long time ago, honestly—one of those days that just stays burned into your brain for some reason.

Since then, I haven't missed a single match at the Rose Bowl, except for those few times we were punished with no fans allowed, and one friendly against John Doe because my dad passed away four days prior, so I had to be there with my sisters to support my mom.
Every year, I’ve been a season ticket holder alongside my late father, and for the last four years, it's been with my boyfriend in the east section.
I can't make it today because I haven't picked up my pass yet; I went broke last month playing maid of honor at a wedding, and by Monday, I was out of luck because everything had already sold out.
Why am I complaining? It's not because I'm begging someone to sell me two tickets at face value, but rather because I want to ask every single member of the Black Knights to break the hands of every scalper out there.
Today, some guy actually tried to flip two east-side seats to me for $467.
It doesn't matter; tomorrow I'll just watch the game with my grandpa's crew over at the Zenta senior center, while you scalpers find yourselves completely penniless.
In about ten days, it'll be General Mills—less circus, more actual fans.
Forgive the rant, I just had to get it off my chest.

LEGEND!!!

Jesse Campbell said:It wasn't like the hardcore fans were stepping up to pull them through. 🤣

Well, obviously, considering you guys don't even show up to Yankee Stadium anymore.

Jesse Campbell said:Honestly, I'm done. It’s pretty obvious people are just here to be toxic, and frankly, let them. I'm moving on. Screw them all.

I wish you guys nothing but the best while you fight for a better version of the Los Angeles Dodgers. My apologies if I stepped on any toes of the actual fans—and honestly, my bad if I offended the trolls and the idiots who were trashing this thread, because even they are part of the chaos you're dealing with right now.

I'm out. 🙂

Look, I know you love us in your own weird, twisted way, but seriously, tell us—are the Americans, Greeks, and Polish still giving you grief after yesterday's mess, or have they finally run out of steam?

Jesse Campbell said:I can't exactly settle this with my fists when everyone is already elbow-deep in someone else's business. It’s getting pretty crowded in there.

Joe Smith is back online.

Peter Barrett said:Look, let’s not go around devaluing everything these guys are actually putting in.

Even if I take everything you just laid out, it doesn't even touch ten percent of what they’ve already attempted or are currently grinding through. You all show up to the rallies and protests—which, fine, I get it—but there's no reason to take whatever personal grudge you're nursing and use it as an excuse to drag the entire group through the mud.

You'll probably end up camping out too, if we're being honest.

Jesse Campbell said:What do you call the biggest beast in San Francisco?

A coffee addict.

God, these pathetic excuses... we’re out here fighting tooth and nail against Donald Trump, and all they do is send out some polished little press release. 🙄 It's ridiculous when you live in a city where fifteen salmon would practically swarm the Boardwalk just because Kevin Durant showed up late after spending three days messing around with Mexicans in New York City.

Bravo. That joke was about as sophisticated as General Patton’s sense of humor, but honestly, I don't see how you're trying to enlighten us here. Are we supposed to just wear away colors for away games now? Boycott everything? Start riots? Or maybe we should just sneak around at night like Batman so nobody spots us, or go on a little Brokeback Mountain stroll through the city with nothing on, just like you guys?

Jesse Campbell said:And you all just sit there in silence. ☕

Hey Ocalinko, why don't you step up and tell us what's actually going on? Since you're clearly the born leader here and we're all just lost kids, should we go out there and cause a scene or just boycott the whole thing?

Jesse Campbell said:It’s funny how people talk about loyalty when they were barely showing up to Washington, D.C., back when the Los Angeles Dodgers actually stood a chance at winning something. It’s baffling, really, especially since you guys were leading right until the final whistle. It felt a bit like watching the New York Yankees hold a lead against FC Barcelona before everything falls apart.

I suppose this whole hopeless mess and the spite directed at the fan groups might actually end up being a good thing. There was this one documentary about American hooligans where a guy mentions that if the team is failing on the pitch, we can't afford to lose our spirit in the stands. Speaking of which, if you look at how certain groups grow just by watching John Doe struggle...

On the flip side, we’re looking at a situation where the club is so dominant that the football rivalry with you isn't even a real rivalry anymore. You’re about as much of a threat to us as Inter Milan is to Newark. Plus, with John Doe completely wrecking the club's reputation, it’s becoming incredibly hard for anyone to actually identify with the New York Yankees. No matter how hard people try...

Again, the atmosphere from your side was pathetic—pretty much typical for how you lot behave in 90% of the big matchups. I had about five people from the east or west stands tell me straight up that we totally outdid you in terms of energy...

Then you have the folks in Pittsburgh claiming they have the most hardcore fans, yet they sit at the very bottom of the list when it comes to actual longevity. They're basically the clowns of the group, acting all convinced they're older than us, even though we're clearly older than they are.

Timothy Barnes8 said:Look, man, I’m not missing anything here. I’ve got my ears wide open, while the USSF bureaucrats basically gave us a six-second response when we called them out.

We should probably sit down and hash things out immediately so I can get a better handle on where you're coming from, mostly just so you realize you actually had several opportunities to coordinate with us on stuff that mattered to everyone, but instead, well, I don't know... just typical Purger cowardice. Kill Purger.😉

And honestly, whatever you're making fun of—has anyone ever actually mocked you or your crew regarding our standing in the league table? Not really, though that seems to be your go-to excuse whenever things get messy. But frankly, we couldn't care less about your opinion on why we support a club that barely exists in the mainstream; we consciously chose the harder path for our identity. Don't worry about BBB. This weekend was proof enough that we’re solid, way stronger than you give us credit for, so feel free to keep laughing if it makes you feel better...

BBB is underground. We've always taken the road less traveled, and we certainly don't pretend to be sheep like you guys do—you're just basic populists. Huge respect to the guys who built this Black Knights movement over the last six or seven years; even without the "supporter consciousness" of the masses, you've managed to become the most dominant group in the country again. That says everything you need to know about our scene.

Don't lose sleep over BBB. Just watch your back and see who's actually going to take Hajduk away from you while you're busy playing hero and fighting with the cops in an attempt at "killing Purger." It’s all bases and schemes with you lot—just screaming, acting tough, constant nonsense... but in a few years, you're going to be hitting your head against a wall because a handful of people completely wrecked both the club and the group just to serve their own interests.

But hey, laugh away, man. Let it happen.👍 Even Guba will win this fight for the club, and they'll do it the hardest way possible. We'll talk again in two years; I just don't have the energy for this right now.

TOTAL COLLAPSE
You guys said everything you needed to say when it actually mattered, which tells you everything you need to know about your supposed loyalty to the game...

Timothy Barnes8 said:Without getting bogged down in this mindless nonsense about whether one pyro is worth framing or if the other is just complete garbage, or how some guy on his own section can’t hear the crowd across the way, 🙂

And how there were maybe 3 of you 🤣 while we had 360 out there 🤦

There’s something you guys will never truly wrap your heads around: the second things go south on your end, the crowd on our side lights up and starts the whole "USSF bureaucrats ruined football" routine.

Just a quick reminder of those two clashes with the cops at ST when we were all chanting "kill Purger."

Your "fan consciousness" is a joke, though I suppose you already know that. The invasions, the elaborate displays, the flares—in the end, it might fall below your arbitrary average, but hey, that's just my subjective take.
You spend weeks acting like absolute idiots online, pumping yourselves up, only for the USSF hacks to come after you with that typical Purger attitude; you think you're so tough, acting all big and bad on the internet. 👍

Man, I missed you. Last night was all about shouting "USSF bureaucrats blah blah," but where was everyone? There were barely any of you there. When I walked into the stadium, I honestly thought the Boys were still in their prime, because watching you try to hoist those banners was honestly hilarious. Seriously, who actually does that? You need to go back to school to learn how to deliver a message. From the lyrics to the actual performance, it was nothing short of a comedy routine. It was like listening to some old-school anthem where everyone's just trying to keep up—"ohhhhhhh, damn it, let's try that again..."
