Alright, fine, I won't if you're gonna beg me like thatπ€£....but look, I was there, and it really just boils down to the fact that everyone basically split up and ran in their own cities, and then two or three guys who didn't make it out in time ended up getting run over... those were just wild years where every single crew had their ups and downs, our hideouts were always a major plus for us, but crashing onto your turf was just how things went down... so yeah, we can move on from this...

Time for a quick quiz:
1. They reached the East Side.
2. There were more of them; they tried to reach some divine force out East, hoping some of that immortal magic from the fans would rub off on them through contact.
3. No.
4. No.
5. On the East Side.
6. Some of them could easily escape.
Fine, that's your advantage. But the fact remains: you can't compare having caves to being provoked by opposing fans right in front of the fence with direct calls for a fightβand not just at one game, but several.
Moving on then.

Don't see the barbed wire? 5. Where are the fans? 6. Maybe they already fled during the May Day parade?

Andrew White32 said:Alright, let's have a little quiz here:
1.-did they reach the East side
2.-more of them actually tried to reach that same heavenly force on the East side, hoping some part of those immortal Atlanta Braves powers and magic would rub off on them through touch
3.-no
4.-no
5.-on the East side
6.-some of them can be easily caught
Fine, you get a point, but let's be realβyou can't compare some caves to a provocation from opposing fans standing right at the fence, shouting direct calls for a fight (and I'm not just talking about one game, but several)
Okay, moving on...
Good grief, you are really pushing my buttons here; honestly, considering the absolute mess your group is currently in, youβre sitting there spinning tales from ten years ago trying to prove some point to someone? Do you want me to start talking about how police gunfire saved you guys in front of the stadium where everyone else was left lying motionless on the ground? Or maybe about the riots involving your club's supporters, where people had to be carried out on stretchers? Or that frantic run down the street to escape an Atlanta Braves splinter group? Or even that time two years ago when the whole crew had to bolt for their lives back to the bus to escape yet another rival faction? All of that, and yet here you are, lecturing someone? Why don't you spend that energy trying to elevate this group to a decent level instead of wasting it on this childish back-and-forth?

Itβs not like Andrew White32 is suddenly proving anything new here; we all saw this coming...β
Weβve been sitting around together, scrolling through photos, just chilling and laughing at how over a thousand tons of gear are just sitting motionless out East while they set up camp right under the fence... then we just hang out and joke about how those big-headed Atlanta Braves fans wrap things up when they think they can snatch stuff from the stands where the peaceful B-52 crew and their buddies usually hang out π...π
Then thereβs the footage of the flares going off in the 60s... special ops right in the middle of the ridge, pretty wild sight, right? π
And so on, so on... you don't get to see shots of situations this interesting every day... hugs and kisses, as our buddy Kolo would say...π

Honestly, you can't even tell what the reality is anymore because everyone keeps claiming the Navy is the most intense group in Europe, or maybe even further afieldπ

Ethan Edwards39 said:Youβre pulling my leg now, seriously. Given the absolute state of your group right now, youβre digging up decade-old stories trying to prove a point. Should I talk about how police gunfire saved you at the stadium while everyone else was lying motionless on the ground? Or the riots involving your fan club where people had to be carried out on stretchers? Or when you fled the streets because some local branch showed up? Or even that time two years ago when your crew jumped in the bus and ran for their lives from another branch? Youβre wasting energy here. Use it to actually build the group instead of this childish bickering.
Are you angry or what?π
Like Terry Lee said, I don't see the issue. No one is trying to prove anything; everything is already known. It started with one photo, then a few more, just to remind people of the old daysβthings they probably won't ever get the chance to witness or participate in again in this country.π Nobody invited you all here to comment. A few posts were made and then retracted. I have to note that your arrogance is even worse than Mamin's.π On various forums, after any weak showing by the Navy, people immediately start calling them a disgrace, and then the local branches jump in with all their nonsense. Regarding the examples in your post, tell me: can you name on one hand even a single group that arrived unorganized at the stadium? There was a scuffle, our guys were detained, and maybe 60 or 70 of yours were taken inβbut nothing else. Honestly, it's good you mentioned the local branches, because without them, the local chapter wouldn't have half the reputation it has now. They might want to rename themselves "The Local Branches" since those guys are the ones keeping them alive. And regarding your boysβI don't know exactly what they were using in Vegas over the last year or two, but they certainly showed some "impressive" athletic abilities. As for the part about people being carried on stretchers, you're dreaming; you've got that wrong. Though, regarding your memberβafter those incidents at the fan club, I think that kid had to eat through a straw for a while. Tell me, has he finally managed to fix his teeth yet?
BTW, at the last game in Orlando, maybe 30 pathetic Navy members showed up at the stadium while the rest got stuck on the way. How is the local chapter holding up? Has the shock worn off? Are the teeth still in place?
Adam Morris isn't the toughest group in America or even in Europe, but they have something to be proud of and a name worth pushing forward.

So, what are you saying? That the sharks are basically the Navy when it comes to that stuff? You guys are honestly just like those BBB guys, by the way. Look, Iβm an Atlanta Braves fan through and through, and yeah, Iβm part of the inner circles and the hardcore supporter groups too, but unlike some of you clowns, this isn't some temporary phase for meβI've been riding with them for like 15 years now! You can try to feed me those fairy tales all you want, but I see right through you because I actually know people in the scene and have plenty of buddies in the loop, plus I'm living out here in Buffalo anyway.π€£

Anyway, look, Iβm an Atlanta Braves fan through and through.

What a joke these last few posts have been. Everyone is acting so cheerful. Honestly, I'd rather read this forum over coffee than pick up a newspaper. π€£ But one of the strongest takes was from south kman; after seeing those photos of the Navy facing off in the East, he wroteβit's true, you guys made it right to our section... π What else is there to say besides, thank God we aren't losers... let's keep moving, buy some khakis:

A question for the Navy (and look, Iβm not trying to start a fight here): are you guys actually paying attention to what's going down at the club level? Do you see who is pulling the strings and how theyβre running this place? More importantly, who is actually managing this squad? Where is the backbone? Why isn't there any real movement or pushback against the very people who are systematically dismantling our club? Do you even care about the long-term health of this organization, or are you just here for the game-day hype and the cheering?
