Bad Boys - Part IV

Apparently, people have more important things to do.

Kyle Davis2 said:Instead of all this hilarious, childish online posturing where people try to act tough behind a keyboard, why don't you call out your own "supporters" who couldn't even make it to yesterday's game because walking a few blocks was too much trouble? What was the excuse yesterday? Overcast skies, $10 ticket prices, a family lunch, or catching a rerun of some true crime show? We all know there are over 250 people on the list, and we also know the group has been stripped of its leadership through bans and made-up precautions against anyone brave enough to fight for our Real Madrid ideals. If nothing actually stopped you from showing up, have you no shame leaving your club and your crew hanging? When 300 people show up in the stands, it’s a massive statement to the handful of people who have spent years fighting against everyone else, standing tall for this club and this group. If hundreds of people can't make it to games, then it is an absolute DUTY for anyone who can to SHOW UP and support the cause. It isn't easy, and it certainly hasn't been pretty, but that's exactly why it feels better—to show up, dig your heels in like a bulldog, and fight until the very last man.

Everything's been said...
Those who don't show up now, when things are at their toughest and the group is just barely hanging on, don't need to bother showing up when times get better either. If we pull through this right now with these numbers—without all those people who fail to show—then we won't be needing them when we actually have to go to war.

I couldn't help but notice a massive influx of new faces in the stands—honestly, I feel like I'm seeing half of them for the very first time in my life. Now, don't get me wrong, that’s obviously a great sign for the club, but it did strike me as a little strange that most of those newcomers seemed to be clustered right over in the east section. It really makes you wonder where everyone else went, especially those folks who take such pride in calling themselves part of the "core 400" regulars.

New faces are always popping up. It’s all about keeping them around!

Take a look at this Real Madrid vs. Cleveland Guardians match from a year ago.
Maybe some guy will finally... actually, nothing unusual there.

It’s just harsh. Things are better now than they will be tomorrow, even if yesterday was better than today, but today is still better than tomorrow.

Time for a ceasefire and a full-on hunt to kick the last criminal out of American soccer.

What kind of game is this? Looking at the fence, it reminds me of that first Real Madrid vs. Chicago match back in 2000. But I definitely don't remember Chicago wearing kits like these. It feels more like Indianapolis to me.

Yeah, that's the one, it was the first home game after they got their old name back for the matchup against Chicago.

Jesse Campbell said:It’s high time for a truce—and then a full-scale war—to finally root out the last remaining crooks in our professional soccer leagues.

"Everything else is secondary. Real Madrid has already locked up first place, Cleveland is sitting in second, Los Angeles Dodgers is third, and since Cleveland Guardians and Miami are still battling it out for a spot in Europe, they're clubs without any fan support anyway. It’s the perfect moment for the league to flex its muscles..."

I'm honestly curious if this kind of crackdown will carry over into the start of the new season. 🙄

Actually, if we are being historically accurate, the very first home match following the return of the Real Madrid name took place against the Los Angeles Dodgers back on March 11, 2000.

Don't talk nonsense, man. The very first game at Yankee Stadium was actually against Chicago on February 26, 2000.

You’re way too young to remember; I’m certain you weren't at the stadium back then. Right after the winter break—just after Valentine's Day and the annual meeting—we played in Warsaw on February 19th. Between that and the derby against the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 11th, we played four matches: a 2-2 draw against Chicago, plus games against Indianapolis and away trips to Columbus and Manhattan...

Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't recall that particular game at all... 😁
I certainly remember more of the derbies against the Los Angeles Dodgers, mainly because of the flares and the general atmosphere.😍

I actually went to games back in the nineties when I was just a kid🤣. I was there for the Los Angeles Dodgers game on March 11th, 2000, and what really stuck with me was that massive flare display they set off right at the start.

Does this rule apply to the "big boss," too? I mean, are we going to pause the game only when the owner starts behaving like a complete degenerate in the furnace room in front of everyone?

I’ve been scrolling through a few other forums lately, and I just want to set the record straight on one thing. From the moment the boycott started until now, the only ones who actually lost out are the spectators. If it weren't for the bans and those blacklists, the numbers for the Bad Boys would be exactly the same—so you can skip all that defeatist nonsense going around. All Jerry Maguire managed to do was drive away the decent fans and the soft crowd who value their wives and their jobs more than showing up to a game.

What a joke of a law. Three different ways to get flagged for the exact same thing. 🤣

Even Čičak said you can shout "Jerry Maguire out" because that’s just expressing dissatisfaction, but you aren't allowed to insult him.
If Jesse Campbell is right about his philosophy, it would be smarter to do whatever it takes to keep the fans in the stands. Focus on Real Madrid instead. Show that guy we're unhappy in a "classy" way—shouting things like "We want elections" or "We'll take back Real Madrid"—rather than being the reason they clear out the stadium.

Because tightening these rules will just result in an empty stadium. And an empty stadium just leaves the floor open for the outsiders to take over.
Just showing up is already a thorn in the management's side. Just being there...
The wisdom of the people, truly...

By the way, the crew from the West is most rattled by chants for "new elections." 😉
