If you actually wanted to be productive, you could have started a thread like, "Hey, I've got this, does anyone need it?" similar to how people were chipping in back when we were raising funds for the local charity drive. There are plenty of folks across America who could use a hand right now, whether it’s furniture or something else entirely... rather than just posting photos of some fan group holding up a banner, if you catch my drift...
What's gotten into you? You're jumping the gun so fast...
Of course I don't care about the general public's opinion. When the next major piece of legislation is passed, say two years from now, maybe someone will chime in and suggest they aren't all bad...
Besides, we aren't some hooligan gang like the☕😁😁
we actually have things worth discussing in this thread...👍😍😉😁
vividcobra732 said:No, no, no... that’s not it at all. We are part of the hardcore fan group, the fanatics. The issue here is that people from neighboring states tend to lump every single fan or spectator in our country together with us, which is just wrong. We don't need some online PR campaign; we've proven ourselves in person. I was right there in Rijeka...
Furthermore, it wasn't about looking for a fight. It was about showing up and proving we have backbone, even after all the talk about revenge,
Terry Lee3, I have no idea what you're talking about
later...
And since when did you guys become a real fan group instead of just a bunch of expats hanging around?
Nobody is actually taking you seriously...

How the hell could he not have been at school!
Everyone needs to get their head in the game.
I didn't quite follow you there.
but regardless, that isn't what this conversation is about, and it certainly doesn't belong on the internet.
So, what’s the actual deal with the court in Brussels? I mean, if they actually won a lawsuit against the government there, how quickly would they be forced to change the sports fan laws... (asking seriously here, because I really don't know the specifics).
Because, honestly, it seems like that might be the only way. The law has already been passed from the administration to Congress, and I find it hard to believe our government would just admit they messed up and say, "Oops, we passed an unconstitutional law, our bad." And I find it even less likely that Congress wouldn't just vote it through anyway.
In my opinion, people should just pool their money together and take this straight to court.

Personally, I don't see this as an injustice. From what I gather, we're talking about someone jumping a guy who was much weaker and completely alone. Instead of making excuses for senseless violence, we should be focusing on the actual injustices being pushed through these new sports fan laws—like those massive fines for lighting a flare, having passports confiscated, or getting detained just for holding a beer. We shouldn't be justifying random acts of aggression..
That's just my take on it, anyway. I'm basing this on what I've read about the situation, since I wasn't there to see it firsthand...
I was there firsthand, so I know exactly what happened...
If anyone could tell me the original English title of this "way of life" letter you all posted... I heard it mentioned on the radio the other day and it's been bugging me ever since. Thanks in advance...
