Bad Boys

This just sounds like some pathetic loser whining about nothing.
Look, fine—you don't want to celebrate and you’re just sitting there waiting for someone else to make a move instead of actually doing something yourself—which, frankly, is a classic American trait—and okay, you have to realize that makes you look ridiculous and weak.
But I’m with the sentiment from the old square—once things change, why should anyone be forbidden from participating? You should just let them be and laugh at the losers rather than trying to defend them.

I’d argue that Real Madrid still exists, specifically because of that handful of "fools" who are still out there, digging in and fighting—and honestly, what could be more positive than seeing young people following that same path? To me, that proves that no matter how brutal the journey is, it’s clearly the right one.

As the song goes:

How is the title fake? Are losers whining now?

It feels like I'm reading paid comments straight out of some political operative's kitchen...

Why should I consider Real Madrid anything more than just a bunch of managers looking to collect a paycheck, coaches who stick around until a bigger offer comes along, or players who stay only until they land a multi-million dollar transfer... all while ignoring the fans who have been there since day one?
I refuse to give them the satisfaction of claiming they represent Real Madrid any more than I do. I’m the one who’s been a constant through all these years. I’m the one who kept pushing even when it felt like hitting a brick wall, wandering through the wilderness for years knowing full well that fines, bans, and being kicked out were always waiting around the corner...
To me, this team is what it is as long as I still feel even a shred of love for it.

silentcobra80 said:Just look at the sheer number of fake titles out there, how they were manufactured, and how this whole power structure was built so they can basically grab everything worth having in America while everyone else fights over the scraps... you don't even have to be some shady tycoon to see it.

I mean, what can I actually do as one person? The issue is baked into the entire fabric of American society, and Real Madrid is just a symptom of that larger rot... so why do people act like I don't have the right to point out when things are being handled poorly, or say that the messaging after the derby was just plain idiotic? Why am I not allowed to say there’s zero point in pretending everything is fine just because the big boss is off visiting Lourdes? Where does this ridiculous mantra even come from...

Look, did I ever actually say you couldn't comment? Why are you making up this idea that I'm trying to stop you from writing anything?

You could start by finding people who agree with you and actually building some momentum, but that requires getting off your ass...
See, since I'm giving you the freedom to write and think for yourself, you should let me have the freedom to laugh at someone sitting behind a keyboard, whining about how everything is someone else's fault while hiding behind a victim complex and waiting for someone else to actually step up and fix things...
To me, that whole attitude is just funny, and I enjoy pointing it out, so I don't see why my posts bother you so much...

hiddenridge99 said:How can anyone claim the title was fake? Are people really just sitting around whining about it now...?

It honestly feels like I’m just scrolling through some paid smear campaign cooked up in the backroom of an old political operative's kitchen...

Look, if this is really getting under your skin that much, you’ve always got that ignore button right there... just click it and move on with your life...

Can someone point me toward where BBB actually keeps the receipts on all those trophies they claim to be winning? I mean, if you look closely... I'm just trying to find the proof...
And honestly, all this whining that’s been going on... what is it now, two weeks or thereabouts? They just haven't stopped...
I mean, honestly, it’s only natural that they're a joke... there's really no other way to look at them, so you might as well just lean into the mockery and laugh along with everyone else...

stormybison9 said:I don't know what kind of delusional bubble you guys are living in, but Real Madrid doesn't exist, Chicago doesn't exist, and America doesn't even exist anymore. Everything’s been sold off and gutted. All we have left is this hazy memory of how things used to be—back when we had absolutely nothing, yet somehow, we had everything.

People aren't fleeing America because they're starving or thirsty—they're leaving because life has completely lost its soul and its purpose. And honestly? You can see that exact same rot reflected in Real Madrid and everything surrounding them. Just look at old footage from the 80s or 90s, or even decades before that. Back then, Real Madrid didn't have the massive bank accounts or the endless trophies, but man, they had heart. They had spirit. Chicago was the same way—today, the city has absolutely nothing left.
Everyone's scattered, just trying to scrape by however they can. Then there's all this garbage where everyone is basically selling their soul for a few bucks... I mean, who even cares about Real Madrid at this point? It's just a perfect little microcosm of everything that's gone rotten in this country. Real Madrid is basically just the GOP and the Democrats combined—the whole political mess I hate from the bottom of my soul.

Look, if you weren't around in the 80s and you didn't live through the 90s, shut it. Claiming that Real Madrid had no money or titles back in the 90s but still "had soul" is easily one of the biggest loads of absolute nonsense ever posted on these forums.

Henry Hayes4 said:Look, you guys clearly didn't live through the 80s, and you definitely missed the 90s. Saying that Real Madrid had no money or trophies back in the 90s, but they still had "soul," is honestly one of the biggest takes I've ever seen on this board.

And don't forget how Real Madrid used to pack the stadiums back in the South.
Honestly, if I find a club in Europe where the ultras aren't totally fractured or dealing with internal drama, I might actually consider following football again.

Word is they might arrest him tomorrow... and then, if God wills it... we could potentially be celebrating around the "Remke" area in just a few days.👍

This just sounds like a pathetic Donkey crying over nothing.
Look, I get it. You don't want to celebrate, you’re just sitting there waiting for someone else to make a move instead of actually getting off your butt—which is a classic American trait, by the way—and honestly? You just end up looking ridiculous and soft.
But I have to side with Treveskov. If things change, why should anyone be forbidden from celebrating? We should just let people laugh at the losers rather than trying to protect them.

I’d argue that Real Madrid still exists because of that handful of "fools" who stay behind, grinding and fighting. Is there anything more positive than seeing kids follow that same path? To me, it proves that no matter how grueling the road is, it’s clearly the right one.

Like the song says:

Man, I can see logic isn't exactly your strong suit either. Is there some kind of epidemic going around?

Of course this season's title isn't "fake" in the way it was when Cleveland was brutally robbed. Sure, Cleveland played poorly and missed big chances, but the fact remains they were cheated while Real Madrid was pushed forward. But everything becomes "fake" once you factor in having a Locomotive playing in the mix, having the refs, and having the entire officiating organization—hell, the whole damn league—backing you up. When you look at it that way, the title is absolutely fraudulent. What are you even identifying with here? This mess? Even if Mommy wasn't pulling the strings, the situation is so bad that the club is worse than the New York Yankees and the Partisans combined back in the South. What exactly are you proud of? It's all a sham—fake titles, fake glory—but I suspect you lack the mental capacity to grasp that. I'm fairly certain of it, because even here, I see Donkeys like you. 🤣

Why on earth would I be "ridiculous" or "soft"? What am I supposed to do? Change the state of the entire country? Me? I don't vote for Kradeze and I do what I can. If you think I’m just wandering around stadiums, I’m neither old enough nor healthy enough for that. I used to travel to stadiums all across the South in the old days, so don't you dare tell me what I should be doing, you little brat.

Richard Lewis16 said:Look, am I saying you can't comment? Why are you acting like I'm trying to silence you?

You can start by actually finding people who agree with you and building some momentum, but you've got to stop being lazy and actually get moving.
See, just like I give you the freedom to write and have your own opinions, let me have the right to laugh at someone sitting behind a keyboard, whining about how everything is someone else's fault while hiding like a coward and waiting for someone else to do all the work.
To me, that’s just hilarious. I love pointing out stuff like that. So why does my writing bother you so much?

The logic is broken again... I was wondering why I shouldn't bother commenting if some condescending jerk is just going to jump down my throat and insult me immediately.

Man, where am I supposed to "get moving"? Did you forget you were in therapy or something? Go take a shower, clear your head, and when you actually start being able to read and understand things, then come back and talk to me.

JBT, it’s just an overwhelming amount of mediocrity here... everyone scrambling around thinking they'll stumble upon some hidden gem. But we won't get anywhere as long as we just keep whining about our own little problems and playing the victim. Has anyone here actually stepped up to change anything for the better?

John Martin18 said:Seriously, JBT? It’s just a massive pile of mediocrity—people digging through trash hoping to find a diamond. We aren't going anywhere as long as we just sit around whining about our own little problems and acting like victims. Has anyone here actually stepped up to change anything for the better?

Oh, they definitely have. You can hear them crying from midnight to midnight on every US message board out there.

silentcobra80 said:The logic is just broken again... I was sitting here wondering why I shouldn't even bother commenting if some self-righteous little nobody is just going to jump down my throat and start insulting me immediately...

Honestly, man, where are you supposed to go? Did you skip your therapy session or something? Just go take a walk and cool off, and maybe once you learn how to actually listen and try to understand someone else, then we can talk...

Look, it isn't an insult when someone is just telling you the truth, though I am truly sorry you're such a sensitive soul, honey...🙄
why does some random person's post on the internet affect you this much? It’s honestly pretty unhealthy, you know?...

I mean, if you were actually confident in what you were saying, any sane person would probably stop to wonder if everyone else is wrong or if they've just missed the point themselves...
and I did tell you to step away and change something about yourself, but hey, my bad, I didn't realize you were such a delicate little flower, you have every right to be upset, I guess... this world is just too harsh for you...

Richard Lewis16 said:Look, telling someone the truth isn't an insult. I’m sorry you're being so incredibly sensitive, honey. 🙄
Why does some random guy posting online hit you so hard? Honestly, that's a pretty unhealthy way to live, you know?

I mean, if you’re actually convinced by what you're writing, then any sane person would start questioning themselves if everyone else was saying the exact opposite.
And I told you before—you should probably get out there and change something. But my bad, I didn't realize you were such a delicate little flower. You're right, this isn't for you.

Let me ask you something: have you actually changed anything while talking down to people like that? What have you actually accomplished? Come on, let's hear it.

silentcobra80 said:So, let me ask you this... did you actually change your tune at all when you were talking down to everyone like that? Seriously, what exactly did you change there? I’d love to hear your side of things for once...

if you actually knew, you would have...
but anyone sitting on their couch hiding behind a computer screen doesn't have a clue who really matters in this game 🙂🙂

that's why I say, either step up and actually do something—which, let's face it, you won't—or just sit there and deal with being mocked by some random group of people because you refused to act...

Richard Lewis16 said:If you actually knew, you'd know. People sitting at home hiding behind their little computer screens don't have a clue who really matters here.
🙂🙂

That’s my point—either step up and actually do something, which clearly isn't happening, or just sit there and let some random group of people laugh at you.

In other words... you haven't done a single thing. 🤦

But alright, let's try this: tell me, what exactly am I supposed to do?

Did you lose your tongue or something? Is that why you can't explain what you've actually accomplished? Come on, teach me something. Apparently, you've done massive, earth-shattering things for this country, for society as a whole, and for LA Galaxy... I'm just sitting here, waiting with bated breath for your answer.

Sure we can, but I don't really see the point in hashing this all out over the internet... I'm not exactly looking to brag online
but if you want to grab a seat over on Lincoln or maybe just hang out by the pier at the club and talk for as long as you need...

or we could just meet up at the club on Broadway and find a spot nearby to grab a beer, if that works for you?

Or check out the blood drive happening over on Peter III between 11 AM and 3 PM👍
Just a quick way to see who actually has the guts to step up.😁

analogheron19 said:Or maybe over on Peter III, where they’re running that blood drive between 11 and 3...👍
It’s basically just a way to see who actually has the guts to show up, I guess... 😁

I think I'll pass, though... if you donate blood you get a sandwich, but if you don't, you get nothing, and honestly, that just doesn't feel fair... 😁

Richard Lewis16 said:I’m skipping that. It’s rigged. If you donate blood, you get a sandwich, but if you don't, you get nothing? That’s just plain unfair.😁

That’s just wrong. It’s pretty obvious you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about.
The guy above called you out immediately.🍿

analogheron19 As if I haven't heard this all before...
That’s just not true, honestly... it's pretty clear you haven't actually got a clue what you're talking about...
That guy saw right through him immediately...🍿

🤣🤣🤣

I'm just putting this here so I don't end up getting slapped with a warning or a ban... since according to the forum rules, you can't just post a lone smiley face and call it a day...

Gotcha, I hear you loud and clear now...
