The Stadium and basically anything involving the fan scene has become something only people with iron stomachs can handle, regardless of which "side" of the fence they're on, and honestly, only the rare few outside the West Stand who aren't viewed as "enemies" by official authorities get the privilege of showing up without getting served their own little portion of trouble.
And looking at this seemingly inexplicable repression and this years-long, painful tragicomedy—at least based on what you guys are posting here—it’s pretty clear that a massive number of people who used to be everywhere, up, down, left, and right in the Salad stands, definitely fall under the BBB category, whether they were former members, current ones, or just people who stopped showing up for various objective or subjective reasons—and that number is SURPRISINGLY high.
Everyone else who considers themselves a "Dynamo" fan really needs to wake up from this winter slumber or whatever indignation they've fallen into, and the sheer amount of those people, along with the kids in the stands, is just as shocking when you consider how the BBB are portrayed to the outside world. It's obvious that the depths of the hole the Chicago football fan scene has fallen into are hard to grasp for anyone who hasn't personally been rolling around at the bottom of it.
