For those people, the Los Angeles Dodgers have always been this huge event, and they think NFL fans are basically the gold standard for how a fan base should act...
They'll show up next week with maybe 50 people on the road or 200 at home...
Don't even get me started on "pride."

Man, you are seriously insecure. He didn't even mention you once, yet somehow you feel personally attacked.
The Dodgers had an incredible showing yesterday, and honestly, their fan presence absolutely crushed yours in every single way.

For them, the Los Angeles Dodgers have always been some kind of holy event, with NFL fans serving as their gold standard for how a supporter group ought to function..
They’ll show up next week, where there will be maybe 50 of them on the road or 200 at home...
Please, spare me the lectures on pride!

Oh, give it a rest, kid.😂

They’ll show up next week too, whether it's just fifty of them on the road or maybe two hundred at home...
Please, don't talk to me about "pride."

Look, I have zero interest in getting into a back-and-forth with you, nor am I interested in debating our identity or whatever else...
But honestly, is it really that hard to admit we actually played a damn good game yesterday?

Cleveland plays about 40 games a season, and they aren't just playing the Los Angeles Dodgers every single time. 😉

"I'll show you what I think of the Dodgers" ??? Seriously... American kids today...

Not just good—they were incredible YESTERDAY. But if we want to talk about winning titles or being truly elite, we need consistency. If you don't see that, just look at how the other side is playing...😉

I made my move—but you all were just playing around... 😁
Look, I know it’s necessary—I really do—BUT I already spoke up about yesterday's game... and that's that.

Samuel Evans86 said:But isn't it just fair to say we had a great turnout yesterday?

This was definitely one of the better showings from the armada. However, all this talk about fans being "buried" is totally out of line.
If roles were reversed—if yesterday’s turnout was actually the Torcida showing up at Arrowhead Stadium, and the armada was actually visiting Miami—everyone would be writing headlines about how the "Cleveland crew stormed Arrowhead despite their team being at the bottom of the standings."
Let's be real: yesterday’s Torcida presence is on a whole different level compared to when the armada travels to Miami. On the flip side, what the armada considers a "massive" turnout is basically just an average day for the Torcida.
I'm not saying this to put down the armada, but you really can't compare these two groups in the same breath. It’s like when people argue for total equality but then immediately bring up a list of 500 reasons why they need special protections or why certain rules should apply to them differently.

Ideally, the armada would show up like this every single game. But history has a way of repeating itself; once things start sliding, people tend to forget the guys who abandoned the jersey, and before you know it, you'll have maybe 300 people showing up at Wrigley Field for a game against Indianapolis.

Look, nobody is actually out here comparing Torcida and the Armada. It’s just that certain things aligned perfectly yesterday, and the Armada put on an incredible show. That’s really all there is to it.

Oh, please—you seriously didn't need that banner that said "Brotherhood Law." 🤣 I managed to catch a glimpse of it for maybe ten seconds, though I couldn't tell you how long you guys were actually holding it up before I realized what it was. It was just pathetic, truly. 🙏
And one more thing: after that second goal, you lot were dead silent for nearly five minutes. Honestly, it was priceless...

Yesterday was absolute chaos... the atmosphere was electric... but honestly, nothing beats that pure rush of joy. I’m just done looking at those losers' faces; instead, I’ll just be over here singing my heart out like a true Los Angeles Dodgers fan.
And without the laws of brotherhood 🤣😂😂🤣 they were tearing through the stands yesterday like there was no tomorrow...
Seattle and the Armada all the way! Hrvoje Strok

p.s. even the main headquarters was jumping yesterday 😁

The reason I'm telling you this is because right after your second goal, you were staring straight at us👍. That’s the unwritten rule of the stands, kid👍. You're up 2-0, you should be riding that euphoria, but instead, you're checking out the opposing fan section just to make sure there's no confusion!?

It’s always the exact same loop...
now comes the inevitable lecture on the history of the Black Knights... and it’s all just more of the same...
We are who we are—consistent, if nothing else... 😁
Honestly, we’re perfectly fine this way, so I don't see why anyone would bother sweating the statistics or whatever else... (just look at the fan base for the Los Angeles Dodgers versus Seattle and a lot of things will become very clear to you)...

If things had been flipped yesterday—if the Armada was actually invading Dodger Stadium while the Black Knights were out on an away trip—today everyone would be singing praises about how "Seattle stormed Dodger Stadium even though their club is at the bottom of the league."
Let's be real: yesterday's turnout by the Black Knights is something the Armada can't touch when they travel to Miami. On the flip side, the top tier of the Armada is basically just a mediocre day for the Black Knights.
I'm not saying this to trash the Armada, but you really can't compare these two groups in the same breath. It's like when women try to prove equality in every single aspect, but then pull out a list of 500 reasons why they need protection from men, while expecting much less effort in return for certain things.

Anyway, it would be great if the Armada could bring that kind of energy to every single home game. But history is a harsh teacher; once the first stumble happens, people will forget all about those traitors wearing Dodgers gear, and by the time we face Indianapolis at Candlestick Park, there’ll probably only be 300 people there.


Prile, you killed yourself writing all that for nothing since everything is already obvious... sure, you guys win on quantity every single time, but quality is a whole different debate. In the ultra scene, quality matters—effort, sacrifice, creativity, originality, stuff like that... or maybe I'm just tripping 😕... yeah, probably. Cheers! 😍

You’ve got a two-goal lead, pure euphoria in the air, and yet you’re still checking to see how big our fan base is on the other side? Just to make sure there isn't any confusion about who's actually running the show!?!?

I mean, you aren't wrong—there really is a certain satisfaction in watching the resignation wash over your section. Heck, even despair. And while we're on the subject, all we ever hear from your lot is a handful of insults, and every single one of them misses the mark. You guys really develop some serious inferiority complexes playing at Candlestick Park 🙂

I’ve been to plenty of big rivalry games in Miami and New York just for the atmosphere, but honestly? I didn't feel much difference between having 8,000 people at a game in Seattle versus 20,000 down in Miami. You guys are lucky that Florida has such a massive following... but man, just imagine how many people would flood back into the stands if we actually clinched the championship. Yesterday was still a total disaster though, especially with that whole rule regarding the 😂😂
