Honestly, there’s just no point in boycotting anymore. I mean, it’s not really in a fan's nature to boycott anyway—we're meant to cheer, right? So this whole boycott thing feels kind of silly to me. I was actually on board with it for a while back when the owner was at the peak of his power, but things are different now. He's basically halfway out the door already; the only question is when he'll finally step down. I guess everything will settle itself out in a few years, but until then, we need to focus on keeping the group strong.
And if we're being real, the boycott has only ended up hurting the group. It hasn't actually done anything to get the guy out, and honestly, a boycott isn't going to change anything in that regard. I don't see the sense in it, unless people just want to shoot themselves in the foot so they can act all high and mighty—you know, talking about how BBB is so noble and moral and isn't "sold out" or whatever. Man, I really don't care about those stories if they just end up causing the group to fall apart. Sometimes you have to be a little selfish and think about your own interests first before worrying about everyone else. Because let's face it, even with the current version of Dinamo, they couldn't care less about the fans, let alone BBB. So yeah, the boycott is a bust. We should be looking forward, not backward.
Besides, only a strong BBB can actually fight against the guy running the club. The boycott didn't make us stronger; it just weakened us. So, let's move forward instead of regressing.
Basically, the only good thing about the boycott was that it showed who people really are within the group and helped weed out the traitors. Since that part is over and done with, I don't see why we should keep this up. Now we know who's who—who's on the owner's side and who isn't—and that's that. Forcing a boycott just for the sake of protesting is counterproductive and, in the long run, it's only going to hurt the group. Like I said, sometimes you have to look out for yourself instead of the "greater good." In this country, it's hard to get enough people together to create any real change through protests. When was the last time you saw a massive protest in America? Even veterans struggle to get more than 500 people out for a demonstration. People here are just too indifferent, so there's no point wasting time and energy on things that aren't going to yield results.
