"As everyone knows...

Basically, Article 32 of the Sports Riot Prevention Act outlines our obligations as organizers regarding ticket distribution. According to paragraph 7 of that article, we are legally obligated to refuse to sell or allocate a ticket for a specific match to anyone we have knowledge of having engaged in prior unlawful behavior. We’re also required to take steps to ensure that person can't even set foot on the stadium grounds....

If the club is LEGALLY OBLIGATED to refuse a ticket or block someone from entering the venue when there's proof of bad behavior, then why on earth aren't they doing the exact same thing for Zdravko Mamić? Look, security guards might be busy watching fans from Indianapolis, but when it comes to him, we have solid evidence of his past illegal activities at Raymond James Stadium. All they’d have to do is request the records from the Split Police Department.
Honestly, if you ask me, the whole point here should be to get the media talking. And let’s face it, the press only bites if the actions are actually original or innovative. For example, what if a group of people sent an open letter to the club stating they have knowledge of Zdravko's previous illegal conduct? They could argue that based on that email and the law, the club is now duty-bound to bar him from the stadium. The news outlets would jump on a story like that way faster than just another boring protest in a long line of them.
Regarding those legal provisions used to build these blacklists—that clause about "knowledge of unlawful behavior" was originally written by legislators with "good" intentions, basically giving the police some teeth because they couldn't stop the rioting. But in reality, that article gets abused constantly. It’s not just about preventing riots anymore; it’s become a tool for discrimination based on "political or other beliefs," which, unfortunately, is nearly impossible to prove in court. That’s why we need to push this narrative harder. The ultimate goal has to be getting this provision repealed entirely, and every single fan in America needs to get involved. Which brings me back to my earlier point: we need concrete, real-world actions that serve as living proof that this law is being applied selectively and discriminatorily to target anyone who thinks differently, rather than actually stopping violence.
