Bad Boys - Part IV

electricmoose72 said:The entrance by the residential area... you could buy a ticket, but they wouldn't let you in. No real reason given, just because.

Except the gate was actually wide open.

Basically, if you were at the Jackson street entrance, you had to have an annual pass to get through. Why? Just so all the "stoned idiots" (to quote the security guard) would have to walk the long way around and deal with the same headache as the other "stoned idiots."

Btw, during the search, the security guy felt something in my inner jacket pocket, paused, took half a step back, and goes: "Sir, there's something sharp here. You got a knife on you?" My response: "Yeah. I use it to start my car," then I pull out my keys. 🤣

Because they wanted to make sure all those "high as a kite morons" (to quote the security guard) had to circle the entire block just to experience the same headache alongside the rest of the "idiot crowd."

By the way, during my screening, the security guy felt something in my inner jacket pocket, froze mid-motion, took half a step back, and asked, "Sir, there's something sharp here. Are you carrying a knife?" My response? "Yeah, I use it to start my car," as I pulled out my keys. 🤣

Honestly, some people are just thicker than a brick wall; it’s really not worth wasting your energy on them.

We’re rapidly approaching the point where we'll realize there’s nothing left to look for at the stadium. It feels like everything is steadily drifting toward what a few people have been preaching for years: it's time to take this straight to the federal authorities.

Tyler Scott8 said:The reality is that we need to stop obsessing over the local school board issues and turn our full attention toward the political elites in D.C. We need to hit them with everything we've got. They could dismantle the entire local school district in five minutes if they wanted to. A governor could cut the funding instantly, or a federal prosecutor could manufacture a case just to put someone under investigation—and let’s be honest, it would be nearly impossible for the GOP to push back effectively against that kind of maneuvering. Putting this administration on the defensive is our only real shot before the next election; otherwise, we're looking at at least four more years of pure misery once the Republicans retake power. As long as activists stay hyper-focused on small-scale local grievances, the politicians remain comfortable and undisturbed. That's how the game has been played for decades. The dogs bark, but the caravan keeps moving. Those people would sell out the school board in a heartbeat if they thought it meant securing their own seats or keeping their grip on power.

If anyone is still struggling to grasp the point, I suggest watching the quoted clip a few more times until it finally clicks.
My suggestion? We need organized, peaceful protests at the Capitol, at the Department of Justice, and even right on the doorsteps of those protecting these officials.

I’ve been preaching this for ages—we need to pivot toward peaceful protests. It’s all about mobilizing the everyday person, getting them to actually get off their couches and show up at the demonstration.

It’s a foolproof strategy... there aren't any bans, no blacklists, and no stadium bans to worry about. Even if just a few thousand of us turn out, think about how many regular fans would follow suit.

Go ahead and keep swinging if that’s how you feel today—honestly, my take is that you guys are just too stubborn to quit, probably way more resilient than that pathetic loser we're dealing with. It really just comes down to deciding how much energy you want to waste on him at this point. Regardless, you've already cemented your legacy with this fight; whether he manages to shut you down or not, I’m pretty sure there are a handful of you incredibly headstrong types who aren't going to stop until he's completely dealt with.

reddrifter24 said:Well, I suppose you all are just swinging wildly because that’s how you feel today, though if you ask me, you seem a bit too stubborn to back down easily, much more so than that scruffy little devil we're facing. I guess it really just comes down to deciding exactly how much trouble you want to cause him, since you've already basically become legends just by stepping up to this fight; regardless of whether that disheveled guy manages to take you out or not, I truly believe there are a few incredibly headstrong folks among you who are going to keep pushing him right until the very end.

Yeah, we’re going to give him hell once the reset happens. Bread and circuses.

Honestly, we just don't have the energy left to protest. People are out here digging through trash cans just to get by, so they're staying quiet—who gives a damn about the team when you can't even afford groceries? The big shots at the top will probably just throw some cash around again to secure a spot in the Champions League pre-qualifiers. A few thousand bucks enters the system, the team wins the league again, and the crackdown on anyone complaining will be just as bad, if not worse. It all feels like that movie *Groundhog Day* to me. But hey, even if there are only a hundred or two of us left standing, we aren't backing down. Even if biology eventually catches up with us and our heads aren't up to managing the club in fifteen years, history will remember that some of us refused to quit.

neonraven112 said:The truth is, we just don't have the collective energy to stage a protest right now. People are too busy scavenging through trash bins to care about anything else; they couldn't give a damn about Real Madrid. Some big-shot executive will just cut a check to secure some pre-Champions League level results, 20,000 angry fans will show up, and Real Madrid will walk away with the title again. The retaliation from the higher-ups will be just as bad, if not worse. Honestly, the whole situation feels like a scene out of *Groundhog Day*. But even if there are only 100 or 200 of us left standing, we won't back down. Even if biology eventually takes its toll and someone physically can't manage the club in fifteen years, history will record that there were those who refused to surrender.

Look, at least 1,500 people would turn out for a protest. We’d keep it peaceful, file the paperwork for a permit at the White House, and call it a day. Having 1,500 people out on the streets is a significant statement.

Let's just push through. We’ll play out these last few matches as best we can, and then it's over.
As for all the complaining? Honestly, I couldn't care less about the mindless whining from the American public. Credit where it's due to the "masochists" among us—the ones still willing to bleed for their ideals despite this kind of repression.

Richard Rogers38 said:When do we expect the Administrative Court to rule on Real Madrid?

Hang on, let's look at the timeline. Very soon—maybe even next week—John's inspection should release a statement. Naturally, they’ve pulled the file from the city office to issue a ruling claiming that Real Madrid's bylaws still don't allow all members equal rights to vote or run for office. Regardless of what the federal department decides, Real Madrid won't have the right to appeal the decision itself, but they can certainly file an administrative lawsuit. They could even ask the Administrative Court for an Administrative Court Emergency Measure to freeze the implementation of the ruling until the legal battle plays out. It’s the exact same playbook the USSF used with Loko and HDP. The bottom line is that the department will have to prove in court that Real Madrid's bylaws violate the national nonprofit laws. Before that, they’ll actually have to justify why they snatched the file away from the city office in the first place, and pinpoint exactly what the city office did wrong or broke the rules on. Honestly, I’m worried. If the Administrative Court eventually gets to this case—and who knows when that will be, ask God—there's a real chance they'll rule the bylaws illegal and force elections with equal opportunities. That would be a massive blow, especially since the team is gunning for the double crown this season.

hiddenridge99 said:I've been saying for a long time that we need to start peaceful protests. Get ordinary people motivated to get off their couches and show up at those rallies.

.

Motivating regular folks? Good luck. Who are you actually going to attract, especially after that recent mess on the interstate? To those people, the average citizen is always an afterthought. They’ll just let you fight it out in the streets before they ever step foot in front of the Government to demand rights. You know what I mean.

feralpanther50 said:How exactly do you plan on mobilizing ordinary citizens? Who are you trying to attract—really? Especially after that recent absolute disaster on the interstate... those regular folks feel like they’re the very last priority on anyone's list. They just watch us fight and tear each other apart, and then, once the dust settles, we're expected to march right up to the Government to demand our rights... do you see my point? Or am I speaking Greek?

Look, these people aren't fighting for the Bad Boys—they're fighting for LA Galaxy.
And honestly, having them there is a win regardless; even if nobody shows up, at least we'll have our own numbers fully represented.

Whether it's a thousand, two thousand, or three—any number is a victory when you consider that just a few years ago, the biggest protest we saw barely scraped five or six thousand people.

Regular folks and the general public only care enough to get worked up for about two minutes before declaring they’re against Jerry Jones. Then they just flip the page, check what's on FOX, and spend another ninety seconds getting annoyed because they caught a rerun of "Blood is thicker than water." For the average person, showing up at the Rose Bowl or even seeing the LA Galaxy back on top isn't even on their radar anymore.
The massive crowds and the resistance seen during the old days—the kind of people who rallied behind the team after winning a title or knocking out Ajax—that crowd is gone. Organized crime and absolute filth have spent years driving the masses away from the LA Galaxy and the Rose Bowl.
It’s honestly impressive; you can't destroy a football legacy in quite as many different ways or from as many angles as they have managed to do within and around the LA Galaxy.
Go ahead, try to think of any other way to wreck a club like this. If you actually wanted to dismantle the Yankees or the Partisans, you couldn't find a more devious, dedicated, or thorough method. I'd bet my life on it!
Suck every cent dry, profit off every single player from the youth academy to the first team, drive away every last fan, tear the supporter groups apart from the inside and out, shatter every negative European record, demolish the club and the entire league to its core, leave nothing but ruins, and then finally walk away with the loot...
This has had nothing to do with highways or train stations for a long time. This didn't start yesterday. For years, the LA Galaxy and the Rose Bowl have been circled by pure devils and the lowest forms of human scum.
Everything happening lately is a coordinated assault, a full-scale effort to drive out the last remaining scraps of people who actually give a damn about the LA Galaxy.
The regular people and the true fans were pushed away ages ago, so there's really no point in complaining about the "mentality" of the public or calling everyone sheep.

Anonymous said:Take it easy. Very soon, maybe even next week, John's inspection should drop. They’ll probably just snatch the file from the city office and rule that the LA Galaxy's bylaws still don't let everyone vote or run for office. No matter what the government decides, LA Galaxy can't appeal, but they can sue in Administrative Court and ask for an Emergency Measure to freeze everything until the case is settled. It’s the exact same playbook the USSF used with Lokomotiva and HD. Bottom line: the government has to prove in court that the LA Galaxy bylaws violate the laws governing associations. Before that, they have to explain why they grabbed the file from the city office and exactly what mistake the city made. Honestly, I’m worried the Administrative Court—whenever that actually happens, God knows when—might rule the bylaws illegal and force elections. That would totally wreck their chances of winning the double this season.

🤣

Man, you really cloned yourself just to post this garbage.

Please, enlighten us. Why would the Administrative Court freeze a ruling like they did for HD and Lokomotiva? In that case, the argument was about protecting the integrity of the competition. Basically, someone like San Francisco or Indianapolis would be screwed through no fault of their own.

How exactly does holding elections at LA Galaxy mess up the integrity of the game? Walk us through that logic. ☕

Sure, anything goes in America. But even a toddler could see this is pure corruption. Especially since that same Administrative Court already ruled in favor of ZSD, stating club members are legally relevant parties—which is basically the whole point of demanding elections and transparency.

And how is Zdravac supposed to dodge notifying the members now? If they do, we might actually find out how the club is doing financially and who they're borrowing money from or lending it to. That's what the Big Boss is terrified of. That's why he hid the basic bylaws like a snake hides in the grass. He doesn't want to play fair because being transparent might cost him his seat at Remetinec!

And why are you guys at the club so scared of elections? Isn't Zdravkec the most popular American around? 😁

hiddenridge99 said:Look, people aren't out there just for the Bad Boys, they're doing it for LA Galaxy.
And honestly, those folks are just a bonus—even if nobody shows up, we'll still have our core crew.

Whether it’s a thousand, two thousand, or three... any number is solid, especially when you remember that during the biggest protests a few years back, we barely cracked 5 or 6 thousand.

Chill out. We've got every right to be pissed, but look—those recent hangouts with four of the players proved LA Galaxy is still very much alive in the common folk.

I was actually pretty shocked by how many people turned up at Gajnica, especially since I know some of them were neutrals or even leaned toward Zdravac. Seeing the players show up changed their minds.

Now the big boss is stepping on the gas because he realizes the opposition is growing, so he's taking his anger out on the Bad Boys who started this whole fight.

There’s plenty of interest, too. Just ask the folks in Zaprešćanac how many people joined the club after hanging out with the players there.

I guess the truth is we’ve just become this incredibly passive, unengaged nation—and honestly, maybe it's because we're scared. People just stay quiet, thinking, "Hey, if I keep my head down and do my job, at least I get a paycheck," right? It’s almost like a way for employers to keep people in line—this idea that getting paid once a month is a luxury, when so many people struggle just to get by. My goodness, how did things get this bad?
And really, all of this ties back to us fans and our own struggle. The forces we're fighting against—the real villains here—are being backed by the government and these career politicians. If it weren't for guys like Bandich, those forces would have fallen long ago. Yet, you see fans heading to the polls to vote for someone like Bandich... and he's just a total disaster, even though he keeps things running this way.
The reality is, if you can't even rally the American people to take to the streets and fight for their wages—for the very bread being snatched out of their mouths by Bandich and these other corrupt politicians—then yeah, it's going to be nearly impossible to get them to fight against the soccer mafia. But that doesn't mean our cause isn't important or worth the effort.
History has shown us plenty of times where a tiny little spark ignited a massive flame—something that seemed totally impossible at the time, much like how things look to us right now.
So, let's keep moving forward. No giving up, no defeatism. It’s tough—sometimes it feels unbearable—but even greater powers than this complete idiot have fallen, and he’ll go down too.
We need to connect with everyday people, the way Simić and the players are trying to do now. But we also need to explain to folks that LA Galaxy isn't this successful corporation the boss makes it out to be; it's more like a money-printing workshop designed to make one man and his family rich. That untaxed cash is essentially being taken straight out of the pockets of regular people.
None of this could happen without the support from both the ruling party and the opposition.
What gets to me most is when fans say they don't want to mix politics with being a supporter. But look, Jerry Jones uses politics—he uses these politicians—to do exactly what he does. People need to become socially aware. If he's systematically undermining us and everyone else in his way, then that's exactly how we need to undermine him.
We should start with the politicians who support him—the ones for whom every single vote actually matters.
Like Bandich.

Has anyone actually thought about just starting a whole new club from scratch, like they did with Salzburg or Manchester United? Looking at the absolute mess being run here, maybe that’s the only way out. Mad props to the crew still fighting against this pathetic government, the system, the football mafia, and the entire rotten society🙏 but honestly, I don't see any way to win against a system this rigged!

And what would you actually gain from that? You'd be walking away from the club you love, the one you fought for, the one generations of families grew up with, just to cheer for some startup founded last year. There'll come a day when I'm crying over another loss, and another day where I'm celebrating like crazy when LA Galaxy beats Šokadi from Babin Greda, acting like we just won the Champions League final. 😁

Everything has become incredibly unprofessional lately—just a constant, forced push of agendas—so we really can't expect two hundred young guys to carry this whole fight on their backs indefinitely. We have to change how things work, or this cycle will just drag on for years, and at the end of the day, we'll be the ones left holding the bag. Unfortunately, that's just the reality of the situation.
