Jesse Campbell said:Why would BBB bother teaching kids to be decent or normal? They should be going into schools to teach them how to tear down a corrupt state.

Even if they don't, bankruptcy is coming, so they'll learn the hard way. Once the idiots realize there's no money left, I'm sure their fans will suddenly be "good" again.

Go ask people in Kyiv if their fans are being helpful right now...

Signed. Might as well send a few squads to Ukraine just for the training experience.☕

I mean, I guess we kind of need something like what's happening in Ukraine to actually shake things up, but honestly, we just aren't built that way. It feels like we need generations of people just constantly screwing us over before anyone finally snaps and decides to call bullshit on everything.
And then, after a brief period where everything seems fine, we just drift right back into the same old patterns. You should probably check out that essay by Bruno Bušić—though nobody can say for sure if he actually penned it—it might make a lot of things click for you, even if it was written nearly forty years ago.

Then everything settles down for a while, and it happens all over again. Read that piece by Bruno Bušić (though it isn't confirmed he wrote it), and a lot will become much clearer, even if it was written nearly 40 years ago.

You write so much on this forum that one would think you're constantly at the games and heading to Florida tomorrow. 🤣

William Turner28 said:It’s honestly pathetic and distasteful when certain individuals try to force these artificial schemes just to make a group look more relatable to everyday Americans.🙂

What citizens? What people? You all seem to be missing the obvious. Ninety percent of this country's population are just mindless sheep. Total idiots.

Are we going to try to manufacture that kind of goodwill artificially?

The average American isn't going to notice a thing. Most people just let the media dictate their worldview, and their entire sense of civic duty boils down to clicking a like or dislike button on Facebook.

The core of BBB has always been radical. It should stay that way.

Back in the '80s, people were on our side because everyone was riding that wave of nationalism, pushing hard for independence and the breakup of the old system. In the '90s, we had support because everyone stood firm against changing the country's name, and that old regime just lost its grip on the public. Fast forward to this last decade, and unfortunately, Americans have become so checked out and distracted that they can't grasp what's happening anymore. The true LA Galaxy faithful are absolutely on our side when it comes to Mamić, but they've gone passive. They’re too caught up in daily struggles and the general grayness of life to bother fighting the critics. Honestly, the team just isn't at the top of their priority list right now. It's more important for them to figure out how to make it from paycheck to paycheck and secure a decent life for themselves and their families.

Since their inception, the Bad Boys have always been viewed by the public as a volatile group prone to hooliganism and outbursts. So what?

The reality is simple. Back in the day, our cause resonated with the average citizen. People stood behind us. They didn't care about a few outbursts from the hooligans; they saw the bigger picture and joined our side. Nowadays, everything has shifted. With this modern obsession with tolerance and liberalism, people have turned on us. It's a different world.

Look at the hypocrisy. When people torched the stadium just to protest a name change, the public barely blinked. But when a few flares were thrown at the sheriff during a protest against the owner? Suddenly, every petty little critic on the news outlets is out for blood, all while they enjoy their own self-righteousness.

Basically, the group will always have a core of a few hundred people. Depending on the era, outside influences, and specific circumstances, there will be a rotating number of supporters around them. They aren't part of the inner circle, but they're there. They show up for away games, they cheer, and they get the vibe.

Will we be looking at just a few hundred, or maybe several thousand? There are far too many variables at play here, most of which are completely out of our control.

The man explained it perfectly! 🙏

cosmicbear15 said:Man, you really went on a whole rant on the forum. I guess someone might actually think you're out there at every game or like, heading to Miami tomorrow or something. 🤣

Man, it’s been a minute, I guess... honestly really missed seeing those smart-ass posts of yours around here.
I guess I'm just somewhere in the middle, maybe? Not really sure where I fit in exactly, honestly. active either Passive? I guess maybe...👋

Joshua Moore31 said:let's just rip out their safety net and see if they finally shut up🤣

Yeah, because that's just brilliant logic right there🙏
So the whole issue was the damn net, so let's just get rid of it forever, right? Like, "is it fair now? what else do you want, a freaking glass of milk?"🤣

None of these idiots posting under BBB handles actually know anything about the group... starting with velvetfalcon80 and then all those Ivans, BBBs, and NKDZ types... seriously, just put down the keyboards and show up to the games! Greetings from sunny California 😉

electricviper20 said:Let me give you an idea of how we could actually get this moving. An organization like ours could put together a project designed to educate high schoolers about the culture—basically teaching them who the fans are, what they do, and why it matters. We could run these little 45-minute workshops, led by our own members, in coordination with local principals and teachers. Since we know there are plenty of schools in the Chicago area and the surrounding suburbs, I’m pretty confident the project would take off.

If we stick with this consistently over the next few years, we could really shift the public perception of fans. It would be a way to inspire kids to get involved with the organization or even eventually join the fan group itself.

Some people might think this sounds a bit silly, but honestly, these kinds of community projects have been staples for years here, getting funding from city grants, county resources, and even the European Union.

So, why not give it a shot?

What the hell😲

Heads up—there’s a documentary about those Buffalo Bills fans airing at 3:15 today on Classic TV. It's about 45 minutes long...

Here’s the official one from Bergam. Honestly, it’s way better than the one you were looking for.

Those absolute morons over in St. Louis

😲

I mean, I honestly don't know why John Doe hasn't stepped in to sort out the copyright issues on this one; I recall him mentioning on a talk show once or twice how he was actually flooded with offers for that song...

I know he brought it up in a few shows, but clearly he didn't
This is an absolute joke.

Honestly, I think Fiorentina from Cleveland probably did a version of this track back like fifteen years ago...
