How is it even possible that 1,300 to 1,400 people ended up on this blacklist? They’re being blocked from buying tickets for games at Yankee Stadium, yet members of the fan club still have full access to the stadium.
That’s a question you need to take directly to the New York Yankees.

On another note, right before the boycott against the Bad Boys began, there was that horrific attack on the fans—those riots back on May 1st.
At that time, the club failed to provide any legal protection or support whatsoever to defend its own supporters. To be clear, that was before the fans officially launched this actual fight against the administration...

- As long as the current leadership in the Republican Party and those controlling the soccer structures stay put, I really don't expect any real change to happen. The US Men's National Soccer Team isn't what it used to be; we aren't talking about the era of Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta, and Tim Howard anymore, but rather a team owned by some guy who thinks he owns the entire sport. There’s just no integrity left, and sports should be all about integrity, - said Claudio Reyna.

- Soccer without fans is meaningless. I honestly don't know how this whole thing is going to play out, though I truly wish there was a solution to be found. Personally, I don't think I'll be heading back to the stadiums until things actually change. - concluded Claudio Reyna.

The rebellion has officially started, and we absolutely have to capitalize on this public attention right now, because it's either now or never, and if they don't take down this massive weight on their backs immediately, they never will. My fear, though, is that it'll all just end up being empty talk, because everyone keeps repeating that same old line like a bunch of parrots—that politics shouldn't mix with sports—which is really just a convenient way for them to say they shouldn't arrest the mobsters and the people breaking hundreds of American laws who act like an unruly rabble right in the middle of our nation's capital. It’s almost laughable, if it wasn't so pathetic, that if they don't crush them now, they never will, especially since we know what kind of administration is coming in a year, and judging by their past stances and the attitude of Bill Barr, who happens to be Jerry Maguire's little buddy, he can probably sleep soundly through the next four years while that crowd is back in power. So, if the Democratic Party screws this up, it’s obvious nobody is going to take action, even though I find this version of the Democratic Party to be a total mess themselves; instead of quietly uncovering crimes and prepping someone for a reckoning, that guy John Smith was just out there trading insults with Jerry Maguire on a national stage, basically providing entertainment for Joey Jones and his extremist antics, and frankly, those people in top positions are just idiots, one moron after another running this country.

So, I was watching this segment on an American news network earlier—some guy from a hardcore supporters' group was on, complaining about being flagged on some watchlist. He’s totally baffled as to why he’s being singled out when he hasn't even been cited for anything... then you have Mueller stepping in, basically telling him it's impossible for there to be a mistake and suggesting the kid just head down to the Police Department so they can "explain" his presence on the list. Honestly? It feels like it's high time we all start making some noise—especially those of us who've already been hit with stadium bans after that game against the Lakers...
And seriously, can someone please drop Antolica's email address here?

Yeah, we need to seize this moment and actually do something about it, but we have to be smart. We need a solid strategy so that when we pull the trigger, the media and the public actually get behind the "action" instead of turning on us.

Everyone’s obsessed with the voter rolls lately. People are digging through everything, trying to figure out why the Bad Boys haven't been playing well. Even though we've brought this up a million times before, maybe now is actually the right time to start making noise again about those hundreds of names sitting on Mamić's lists. It's all part of the BBB

While we have brought this up many times before, perhaps now would be an opportune moment to reignite the conversation about the hundreds of individuals appearing on those Bad Boys lists controlled by Jerry Maguire.

The blacklist is supposedly meant to ban people from entering certain stadiums, yet it somehow managed to travel all the way to Moldova and Vienna last year... I don't think anyone has actually written anything about that specific issue anywhere.

Spot on. I’ve sent nothing but emails to the higher-ups, went down to the Police Department to demand why I’m stuck on some damn blacklist, and what do I get? Zilch. Nothing. Just silence about these blacklists and how innocent people like us are being targeted. We need to push this hard and prove once and for all that they've been lying through their teeth this whole time.

I’m sitting here watching Mueller, and honestly, he’s just spinning webs and twisting the truth to fit his narrative. It's frustrating. At least when they came after you guys, they showed their true colors by deploying the entire weight of the state's repressive machinery; you actually have the most solid evidence to bring to light. When you look at him, he acts like this pillar of stability sent to ensure security and public trust. But once you realize how they turned Yankee Stadium into a literal camp and all the other garbage they pull...😠

neonraven112 said:Exactly. I haven't heard a single word back from the emails sent to Antolich... nothing regarding my visit to the Department of Justice or those questions about why I've been blacklisted myself, this whole business of these blacklists and us being stuck on them when we're completely innocent—we need to push this to the limit and prove they've been lying through their teeth this entire time.,

What do you mean "nothing"? If a crowd of 500 people suddenly showed up right outside their headquarters because they were all unfairly blacklisted without cause—and if some major TV news network picked up the story—then we’d see just how much "nothing" is actually happening... we'll see exactly how Mueller tries to spin the truth to the public then.

Just wait until a crowd of 500 people—all listed for absolutely no reason—starts forming outside the headquarters while the local news stations broadcast the whole spectacle. Then we'll see how "nothing" it is; then we'll see what kind of spin Mueller tries to feed the public.

Exactly. This media circus is getting out of hand—the elections, the constant coverage—it isn't just going to blow over without a fight. 👍

Then we'd see what "nothing" looks like. We'd finally see how Mueller tries to spin that nonsense to the public.

I was talking about them leaving one by one. As for this whole group thing and the media circus? Yeah, I'm all for it.

i if someone could please dig up Antolic's email address, that would be great.

For everyone else who’s been blacklisted for "verbal offenses," you really need to start organizing and making some noise following that Lakers vs Celtics match.

This is our moment. It’s now or never.

Christmas is coming up fast, which means a three-month break without any action. Pressure is going to drop off next week, so this is the window.

The San Francisco supporters need to put some serious pressure on the front office regarding the scheduling for Los Angeles Locomotive in the MLS. I honestly find it hard to believe they’re actually approving this. It’s pretty obvious certain people are getting under the table payouts if they're staying this quiet. I suppose it serves their interests too, keeping San Francisco in the title hunt.

The core group needs to lean on that heavy-set guy who keeps making these vague, double-sided statements.

The Republican Party needs to fall. If they don't go down now, they never will.

First, you need people on those lists to step up voluntarily—people who know their records are spotless and don't mind being dragged through the tabloids for a bit. Then just get them all in one room for a press conference so they can finally clear the air regarding Hillary Clinton, the LAPD, Jerry Maguire, the New York Yankees, John Doe, Joe Biden, Eric Cantona, and the rest of the trash currently pulling the strings..

Because all these lies and deceptions that have been going on for years, creating these myths (honestly, the only thing that's actually debunked is a few of Mamić's tall tales, since the stadiums are always empty), it all needs to be exposed... and now is the time, because these rotten politicians are just looking for easy points, while the media just pushes whatever sells today.

Maybe this has been posted already, but:

Robert Mueller confirmed today that Headquarters sent the Los Angeles Lakers a list of 92 names, explaining that since no court has actually banned them, there isn't a legal restriction:

'There are three legal grounds used to track fans. First is a valid court injunction which applies to anyone banned from attending games domestically or abroad for a two-year period. Second involves anyone listed in the Department of Justice database—basically those who committed serious offenses, plus repeat offenders. It's worth noting that both those individuals and the event organizers have the right to deny them entry to the stadium. The third group consists of people who don't necessarily need to be on any official list, but based on how the police perceive things on-site (which is just insane, honestly—total subjective referee calls...), such as alcohol influence, harassment, or drug use, they can (I mean, they can if they feel like it, screw you..) be detained for up to two hours after the game,' says Mueller.

He also mentioned that besides Police Headquarters, the home club is allowed to compile their own list based on their observations and assumptions regarding potential illegal behavior.

I don't know... given everything above, plus that last bolded part, we're basically a tiny version of Turkmenistan or North Korea combined.

Exactly! I’ve seen people online asking—or more like pointing out—that this basically lets anyone, including coaches, players, or even front office execs from opposing teams, get banned from games they're actually supposed to be part of just because the home team claims they have info on some illegal behavior. And based on everything I've read coming out of Police Headquarters, it’s totally legal. 🤔

As the organizer, you really should have just banned the whole New York 92 crew from showing up to the futsal match in the first place...😁

Honestly, the Bad Boys should probably put out a statement too. They need to let everyone know they’ve been screwing over both their own guys and us regular fans for a long time now, especially with those blacklists and all the harassment at the stadium gates.

I'll say it again, and I'll keep saying it every other month. An attorney mentioned several times that we can't break these blacklists, and today Borovec gave an official confirmation. Since they work with the FBI, the club can basically compile them however they want, which probably means our hands are tied. Torcida is encountering this for the first time, so their impressions are still fresh, but that’s just how things are. Luckily, for now, they only seem to be used at Maksimir Stadium.

BUT maybe we can push to get that specific law changed because it’s just not freaking normal... especially since it seems to apply only to us whenever it suits them, while everyone else is out there acting like drunk idiots slapping each other and nobody cares.
