Things could get pretty heated once the rivalry games start rolling in. We’re definitely going to take a few punches along the way.

As usual, the crackdown at Yankee Stadium just kept going. First, you’ve got security standing like ten yards from the entrance checking IDs and tickets. Then, right at the gate for the east stands, you’ve got security guards acting like they're part of the Sokol-Marić crew, demanding IDs even though they don't have the legal authority to ask for them. Then comes the whole blacklisted check.
After that, you deal with the first search by security, then move on to the actual police who take your ID again and film you from head to toe while holding your card. Then, once you finally reach the entrance to Yankee Stadium, you have to show your ticket one more time. It feels like the whole thing is just designed to create massive bottlenecks.
Despite all the hassle, about 50 of the Boys actually made it into the stadium. They were basically surrounded by security—there seemed to be more guards than fans—and there were another 50 riot cops stationed right under the stands. The Bad Blue Boys didn't even get to really cheer; they ended up leaving early because the security and police actually stormed the pitch mid-game and started hauling people away for no reason. I should probably mention that they went straight for the fans who refused to show their IDs at the gate.

Joshua Moore31 said:I just have one question about today. What actually happened with those 60 or so people when they were kicked out of Yankee Stadium in the 62nd minute? I guess maybe they were stuck under the stands for about 5 to 10 minutes before the riot squad finally escorted them toward the exit. They probably got logged or whatever in that window 🙂 I suppose everyone is mostly used to the torture and having to deal with the security sweep when we're cheering, but nobody said a word today, so I guess that didn't stop it either.

I know, I know, I'm not exactly the brightest bulb myself.
rustyharbor17 said:The whole concept of suppression has really spiraled out of control lately—and look, I know that sounds like a tired cliché, but with the big rivalry game coming up in just three weeks, it would be genuinely fascinating if we could actually unite. Remember how we used to gather together when the national team played—say, over in the West Stand? I realize most of us won't make it, but for those who can get there, we should chant: The Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Lakers are brother clubs, and all of America takes pride in them" and then, collectively, let our voices thunder against the USSF. I know, I know—it probably sounds utopian, almost naive—but wouldn't it be worth it? We are talking about two massive organizations with a combined fanbase of well over 1.5 million people; if we stood together, we might actually win a battle, or maybe even a war—who knows? 🙂 If we paired that with some messages calling out profiteering—you know, the kind that exploits conflict—it would definitely echo through the mainstream media. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic, but honestly, if we could pull things together back in '91, we can do it now. Back then, at least we knew exactly who the enemy was, but today? Today we face a much larger problem: internal enemies. These are the people tearing down every single ideal that our youth died for in various massacres not too long ago—people who line their pockets with wealth while spitting on the memory of the fallen. What’s truly heartbreaking is how those who perished are being exploited even now, while their very bones are turning to dust. It’s pathetic, really... just deeply sad in every sense of the word...
Let's use our heads here and let the better team win—which, obviously, will be the Kansas City Chiefs 🙂

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if those bastards ban you from entering the city entirely that day.
You’ve got to stay sharp and prepare for anything!
Keep in mind there’s going to be a massive crowd at the game, which is just the perfect setup for them to play the sheriff again or maybe even stage some kind of incident just to paint us as the biggest problem in this country!
So, use your heads...🙄
rustyharbor17 said:The crackdown from the powers that be has gotten way out of hand—and look, I realize how cliché that sounds, truly I do—but with the big derby just three weeks away, I can't help but wonder if we could actually unite, much like when the whole country rallies behind the national team at a stadium like SoFi Stadium. I know, I know, most of us won't make it, but for those who do show up, imagine if we stood together and shouted: The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees are brother clubs, and they represent the pride of all America before turning our collective fury toward US Soccer. It might sound like a pipe dream, a total utopia, but wouldn't it be worth it? We are talking about two massive institutions with over 1.5 million fans combined, and if we want to win even one single battle—maybe even a war, who knows—🙂carrying messages against those profiteers who exploit everything, it would send shockwaves through the entire nation. Perhaps I’m just being overly nostalgic, but if we could find that unity back in '91, surely we can find it now; back then, at least we knew exactly who our enemies were, but today, the struggle feels much more complicated because the real threats are the internal ones—the people tearing down every single ideal that our youth fought and died for in those various massacres. They grow rich on the chaos while spitting on the memory of the fallen, and what breaks my heart most is how those who perished are being used as political pawns even as their very bones turn to dust; it’s just pathetic and profoundly sad in every sense of the word...
Let's use our heads here and let the better team win—which is obviously the Los Angeles Dodgers, of course🙂
Ryan Chavez3 said:Why the New York Yankees are falling apart. It’s the same old story with Mamić running things—just a mess.
George Gonzalez said:I don't get why everyone's tripping. Victory is right around the corner.
Look, I'm not Bauer and I don't care about fancy passing games, but these moves are pathetic. You guys are just flailing around now. Brace yourselves, because things are about to get way uglier when the fight for "one member, one vote" kicks off—even if you try to dodge it legally. If you don't, expect the old names to come crawling back.

Over the last few months, this whole mess has expanded into a massive crusade for the soul of Real Madrid, which marks the absolute end of the road for Zdravkecov.
