Noah Jones92 said:The Boys are just a stunted group—they'll never truly rise above their station—all because of that pathetic, soft big-city mentality. You guys have been singing the exact same songs for twenty-five years; most of them are just mindless chants (and don't come at me with that "it's our style" excuse—save the nonsense for someone else)—meaning they basically boil down to chanting, which is just terrible. And the most important thing is the sheer numbers, or rather, the lack thereof—it’s practically a daycare. It makes me feel sorry that the Boys have fallen to the level of groups like Evil or those similar North American outfits, but that's the reality. Mexicans haven't really gained any ground since the war—just to note that—but there was plenty of threatening, both after Kriens and now following Athens. Cocaine ruined you; it gave you this false sense of bravado. Even with indoor soccer, when the hype was at its peak and we should have been filling up arenas, things went south because people started bickering over where older fans could sit or who was allowed to wear what. Instead of riding that wave so that every woman in the city would be a BBB supporter, you all chose to sabotage everything. Honestly, now that ten thousand die-hards are heading to Europe and the streets are shaking, will they even stop in Chicago?
And one more thing—I can't quite remember—did the Boys sing that "all of Europe trembles" song?? You know, that one where everyone gets wasted—is that childish little tune still being sung?
Chicago lives a completely different life now. Life here is just better; it's hard for young people to join any intense groups without risking their comfort. Simply put, life is better than it is in ST, SA, or BG
Besides, Chicago doesn't have those honest working-class neighborhoods anymore where you'd recruit groups like that.
Quite frankly, Chicago can no longer sustain anything like the Gravediggers, Delis, the horde, the Maniacs, or Torca
Young people here just don't get sucked into movements anymore, whereas those groups from the neighboring areas are still active movements
Chicago has become your typical quiet, anesthetized city,
Where else are you going to find protesters—if anyone kicks a cocker spaniel—unless it's at a game?
A pleasant little city on the edge of the EU
EU New Graz
But perhaps that means these remaining Boys are actually the only true ultra group left, even if their numbers are smaller
Compared to Torca, Gravediggers, Delis... and even if they took a beating in Athens or anywhere else
I get the feeling that behind them, there isn't any support from the County City (Torca), the Mayor, or the government (Delis, Maniacs)—nor any Mafia (Gravediggers, Horde)
