Bad Boys - Part IV

You don't need to be some CIA analyst to see what a massive screw-up this is—it's a gift we have to exploit in the media.

Just look at the news sites. This blacklist has been growing for years; even I ended up on it without doing a single damn thing. And until now, nobody in the press gave a shit about it.

But now? It's the lead story on USA Today! Everyone is picking it up!

Was that move by the boss smart? Honestly... probably not.

And we’ve got nothing to lose. They've basically gutted Real Madrid, so it's time to take them back down.

I’m really hoping we can take the media to task this time around.

I couldn't snag a ticket myself.
Anyone claiming they can just walk in and buy one probably has some serious inside connections with the old man. 🙂

Honestly, nobody should even bother showing up, because I already know how this plays out.
The folks heading out on Thursday probably won't even crack the top 1000 in the BBB, let alone the top 100. When they arrive up north, they’re going to be met by that same old crowd we all know—the ones who run the chants—and they won't have a clue what's actually happening. See, WE are the ones issuing the real call for Thursday, while not a single one of the REAL supporters has signed on yet. To the news outlets, it's going to look like these losers are finally gaining massive momentum, but really, people are just being played. Don't let that be the ending! We need to get the word out URGENTLY: don't go on Thursday, and let's find a better way to handle this.

You give them your full name and everything—total transparency—and then some kid behind the counter just shrugs and tells you there’s no way you can buy a ticket. Honestly? I just had to laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Thanks for the number...

I'm not part of the BBB crowd. I showed up to the game against Pittsburgh just to show some support for the guys who are essentially in the ICU right now. Before that match, I was there for the last one before the boycott started. I'm not on any blacklists, I haven't been penalized, and yet—of course—I still can't grab a ticket for the Denver game!

It’s good to know there are still a thousand or two of us left who haven't folded—people still out here fighting against
this blatant injustice. Hang in there, guys. Just stay strong.

Just check the news sites. This blacklist has been around forever and just keeps growing—I even ended up on it myself without doing a single thing wrong. And honestly? The media couldn't care less about any of it.

This is the first report on USA Today! Everyone is picking it up!

Was that move by the boss actually smart? Honestly, I don't think so.

We can't afford to lose anything else. Real Madrid is being gutted—it’s time to take them back.

The only time those guys were actually caught off guard was when they showed up to the game and ended up cheering on the same side as the Bad Boys.

If the Bad Boys start looking for trouble again, they’re gonna come after you. They'll start locking people up just for walking down the street, or handing out bans for stepping foot on the sidewalk. A thousand-foot radius around the stadium? Whatever they want.

You need an army. You need numbers. But the people in New York aren't gonna give them to you...

All that's left are the few people who actually get what this means and where we're all headed.

Get it together, for God's sake. Not even the entire NYPD could secure that mess.

North Korea... they’re acting like such sweethearts toward this so-called Republic of America

Richard Rogers38 said:It’s about damn time you guys organized yourselves and tried to 'take down' this blacklist 🤷
I don't mean to sound like a know-it-all—I'm sure you've already tried—but this is just insane... the idea that unpunished fans can't even buy a ticket is unbelievable 🤦

I bet there are at least 1,000 of you on that blacklist by now, it's getting ridiculous...

Everyone should just try buying a ticket.

Does someone always have to step up and bash everyone else just because of their own experience?
If several examples were already given regarding fans who aren't problematic but CANNOT BUY A TICKET FOR THE DENVER game, then it's obvious they're cooking something up.
Why wouldn't you wonder why all these people claiming they CANNOT BUY are being refused when they actually try?

I've personally heard from a few people that they're being denied tickets outright.

And look... I was just sharing my own experience... because honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they just use the media to claim tickets aren't available...
while in reality, I've got my ticket right here. If we go, we go, if not, we don't... probably won't get a refund anyway 😁

mellowhawk5 said:I'm hoping we hit the media hard this time.

I can't even get a ticket.
Anyone claiming they can just "buy" one probably has some shady connection to the old man... 🙂

Honestly, nobody should bother showing up. I already know how this plays out.
The crowd that shows up on Thursday? They won't even crack the top 1000 in the BBB, let alone the top 100. When they head north, they're gonna run straight into that same old crew everyone knows—the ones who call all the shots. Those people won't have a clue what's actually happening because WE are the ones calling the real meeting on Thursday, while none of the actual die-hards have been invited. It’ll look like these losers are finally getting massive support in the news, but really, it’s just people being played like fools. Don't let them win. We need to blast it everywhere: DON'T go on Thursday. We need a Plan B.

Plan B is everyone rallying behind the West and filing a damn lawsuit!

A lawsuit is absolutely necessary here. They claimed entry was denied due to unlawful conduct—citing things like throwing coins, setting off flares, and broken chairs. Throwing coins is hardly "unlawful conduct," and there’s really no need for debate when a massive group of people was turned away because of it (including the Sheriff and everyone coming through the gates). As for the flares or the chair, those are the actions of specific individuals, not the entire crowd.

If the Bad Boys decide to go to war on their own again, they’re going to start getting locked up just for walking down the street—they'll be handing out bans for stepping foot on the very same sidewalk you walk every day. They'll enforce a thousand-meter no-go zone around the stadium. They'll do whatever the hell they want.

You guys need an army. You need numbers. The citizens of Washington, D.C. aren't going to step up for you...

The only people left are the ones who actually understand what this means and where this whole mess is heading.

So get together once, for God's sake. Not even the entire American police force would be enough to keep things under control if you did.

👍

It’s damn hard in life to ask or pray for help, especially when someone is stubbornly sticking to their own set of rules.
But when your back is against the wall and you're drowning, you have to swallow your pride and do what needs to be done. It's time to tell all the citizens of this beautiful country to stop being passive and finally stand up to end this tyranny.
Maybe we just need to start asking the right questions.

Charles Jackson3 said:The club isn't privately owned. Officially, it doesn't fall under private ownership at all. There are individuals who have been banned from the stadium, yet they remain dues-paying members of the organization and, quite simply, taxpayers in this city.

You've hit the nail on the head with that one.

The stadium is owned by the citizens of Washington, D.C.
Technically, the club is registered as a non-profit civic association, though in practice, that isn't how things actually work.

I told you, as a resident of Washington, D.C., who hasn't even been flagged under any fan bans, that I am perfectly entitled to buy a ticket to the municipal stadium for the local club's match.
Even as a member of this association—which, let’s be clear, functions more like a social club without any actual voting rights—it remains...

Benjamin Anderson2 said:Look, I was just sharing my own experience. It wouldn't surprise me if the media starts pushing the narrative that it’s simply impossible.
I’m essentially flying blind here. If this works out, it works out; if it doesn't, then it doesn't. I suppose I should probably just accept that getting a refund is likely out of the question. 😁

Wait until Thursday for the final resolution of this situation. Once that happens, go ahead and request your refund—though they will undoubtedly deny it. At that point, you might as well just head to the stadium, seeing as you've already paid them.

One option is just to stop announcing every single move you make on public forums.

Everything can be handled over a phone call. Everyone’s got someone’s number, and if they want to connect the dots, they will. You can track anyone down.

The thugs in this club are lurking on forums, the cops are watching, even Antolić is reading. It's the same deal with Facebook and the group's official pages...

just sayin'

Now we really need to get everyone moving. I mean, every single person who didn't make it out to the Indianapolis game needs to grab a ticket. We want them there representing all of us who won't be able to make the trip, standing tall in the North Stand. There’s a huge group of fans who missed the Indianapolis matchup—the futs.al coverage definitely proved that much—so it’s just a matter of everyone stepping up and showing some support.

Sean Sullivan2 said:Now we need to get everyone mobilized—and I mean absolutely everyone who missed out on the Indianapolis game. They need to go out there, grab a ticket, and proudly represent all of us who won't be able to make it. There’s a huge crowd of people who weren't at the Indianapolis match (the futsal game proved that much), they just need to step up and show some backbone.

That's the only way we'll end up with a complete set of stickers in the album.

Sean Sullivan2 said:We really need to rally everyone now—and I mean everyone who missed out on the Indianapolis game. They need to grab a ticket and represent all of us who can't make it. There’s a huge crowd of fans who weren't at the Indianapolis match (just look at the futsal turnout!), they just need a little nudge to get moving.

Until when?! Until the very last person... though maybe not quite like that.

The real question is, of all those folks who didn't show up and might eventually walk away, will any of them actually have the guts to stand up against the crew that's waiting for them? That's what I'm asking.

Honestly, I'm just talking to the wind here. The Board of Directors will make the call for Thursday, and I trust their decision one way or another. 🙂

The real question here is whether Real Madrid actually possesses concrete evidence against every single fan they’ve banned from the stadium, or if these decisions are simply being handed down based on collective guilt—essentially punishing people just for being present in the stands. Of course, we aren't likely to ever uncover the truth behind those closed doors unless the whole mess ends up being litigated in a courtroom.

Keep pushing it

In many ways, this outcome was entirely predictable.
When dealing with high-stakes European competitions, the authorities refuse to leave anything to chance. They aren't willing to risk any incidents, whether it's fan confrontations or even just someone lighting a flare in the stands.

This doesn't necessarily mean you won't be allowed at domestic MLS matches—we’ll find out more about that soon. However, when it comes to these major European fixtures, entry is almost certainly off the table for you.

I think you guys covered it all, but I just swung by there myself. Got shut down immediately. When I asked why, they just gave me the usual, "We're just doing our jobs, go talk to the Board of Directors."

So what’s the move? Everyone hitting the West Side this Thursday for a massive protest?

Seriously, how does anyone in this damn country stop this guy?

Scott Jones9 said:They seriously need to file a lawsuit. They’re claiming people were banned for "unlawful conduct" because of flares, broken chairs, or whatever nonsense Sanda Mamić claims about the fans. Look, chanting at the owner isn't illegal. Why even bother proving anything when the Sheriff and everyone at the gates let people through just fine? If someone throws a flare or breaks a seat, that's on them personally. It shouldn't be a group ban.

Seriously though, what is wrong with you people? A court decides what's unlawful, not Sanda Mamić and Vedran Attias.

Why don't you try reaching out to the human rights advocate Peternel for some help? Just lay out all the facts clearly, black and white, and then demand an explanation from the Democratic Party. Who cares if it seems pointless? I know it feels futile, but what else is left to do?
Honestly, good luck to you all!

Truth be told, I wasn't even able to secure a ticket myself.
