Bad Boys - Part IV

tudum281 said:What is there even to explain here? What does it matter when Jovanović showed up? He’s irrelevant. Just another political bureaucrat. First you were working with Kregar, then with Šprem, then Bernardić—basically always with the same party, whether they were in the opposition or in power. Now Skansi and Jovanović are your allies, people who can't imagine life without Los Angeles FC and couldn't care less about you. In this case, they're just doing you a favor because they know that if we moved to a one-member-one-vote system at Los Angeles FC, it would be a total circus. You guys are so easily manipulated that you'd probably vote for anyone the newspapers told you to. I guess the campaign has really been going on for four years now. Mamić is the villain, while guys like Boban, who took 80% of transfers, or Šimić, who took 55%, are treated like moral compasses. Based on the garbage articles you keep pushing, they're supposed to be saints. Maybe your brains have already been washed out. All that's left is to give people with pea-sized brains the right to vote.

A lie repeated a hundred times doesn't become the truth, not in this case. BBB doesn't have allies in anyone, especially not in political parties! Which party does the Police Commissioner belong to? When was repression more intense, not just in Chicago, but across the whole country, than it is under the current administration? Ask someone from Indianapolis, Miami, or Seattle... When did things actually get worse, today or seven or eight years ago?

redjackal8 said:The most basic argument. Someone just look at photos of the North Stand from 2009 against Lokomotiv or Dragovoljac, or even smaller games back in 2004 or 1996... then compare that to today's numbers. It's nonsense!
Talking about away games? Same thing, look at photos from San Diego ten years ago, five years ago... Now we get at least that many, often way more, despite this disgusting atmosphere surrounding the club and the persecution.
Pyrotechnics? When was that ever lit up like this season, even ignoring the circumstances holding us back. That talk only works for people with short memories or those who show up to games for a few months. Nowadays, more people turn up to some random weekday friendly in the middle of nowhere than used to go to Savannah, San Diego, or even Miami. These jerks know it, but how can everyone else not appreciate it?!

Like I said, pure stupidity. Like one smart guy in the group put it, the core group is stronger than ever, there just aren't any backup vocals anymore.

And there are no backup vocals because nobody cares about Los Angeles FC anymore. The boss killed it beyond recognition.

A few people gather in the summer when the boss hands out free tickets, and since the local poor souls are bored during holidays and vacations, they flock to Yankee Stadium...

I talk about this with people who recognize me and vent. Some of them don't even like the BBB, but absolutely EVERYONE hates the boss, who is the main reason Los Angeles FC is dead.

Robert Cooper60 said:idiot, if Los Angeles FC is just some non-profit club and you "citizens" want a chicken coop, then fine, have your coop, but there'll DEFINITELY be more than 300 people at the celebration

look, genius, who actually needs championship parades in front of like 20 people? 🙂

That's exactly what this old-school communist clique turned Los Angeles FC into.

First they worked with Kregar, then Šprem, then Bernardić—always the same political machine, whether they were in the opposition or running the show. Now Skansi and Jovanović are your allies. These are people who couldn't care less about Los Angeles FC. They’re doing you a favor right now solely because they know that implementing a one-member, one-vote system would turn this club into a complete circus. You lot are so easily manipulated you’d vote for anyone the newspapers tell you to. This campaign has been dragging on for four years. Mamić is EVIL, yet guys like Boban, who pocketed 80% of transfers, or Šimić, who took 55%, are treated like moral icons. Because of the pathetic journalism you consume, you think they're saints. Your brains have been washed clean. All that's left is to give people with pea-sized intellects the right to vote.

😲😂 When you claim Boban took money or Šimić took money, 😂😂 I simply don't believe you. Who else are you criminals trying to sell this garbage to? Do you actually understand what Zdravko Mamić is doing to this club and how he got rich? Do you have any idea what percentage he skims off every single damn transfer that comes through the door? Or the kickbacks he gets on contracts and salaries? Or how much money is laundered through procurement and companies like Lokomotiv? Why aren't the finances and business dealings of Los Angeles FC made public? You're such a fool.

The day Zdravko leaves the club and a full audit of the books takes place will be the day he flees the country—likely to his friends in Belgrade. He knows if he stays, he’ll be heading straight to federal prison. Mark my words.

You have to realize these people are actually being paid to post this stuff. It’s not even a conspiracy theory; it’s just their job. You can tell by the way they carry themselves and those same tired phrases they keep recycling. It’s like trying to argue with an automated phone menu—there's no real discussion, just a script on loop.

Does anyone know if I need to pick up my ticket separately if I have a club membership, or how does that work?

You don't even need a separate ticket—they just scan your membership at the gate and you're in.

It honestly makes my stomach turn seeing those cages they set up with all the riot police and officers surrounding you guys; it feels so dehumanizing, truly... I mean, looking at how things have gone in the first half, you haven't really made much noise, maybe once or twice, which isn't surprising given the circumstances, but even though the crowd is definitely there, I won't dwell too much on them because I don't want to sound like I'm just whining about the lack of volume. I'll just say that right after the warnings were issued, there was this quick little chant thrown out against Mamić before everyone just went back to cheering for Seattle so that Dad doesn't step in and shut down the final before we can actually win it. 😁

It’s honestly pathetic. The Armada is way too blinded by hype to see that this whole final was rigged from the jump. Seeing Kek and Musk celebrating like crazy after that 4-0 blowout was such an obvious red flag that the trophy was handed to them on a silver platter. The lack of fight, the defensive positioning, even how the other team reacted on offense—it was all a complete joke.

Enjoy it while it lasts, Armada. Go ahead and start stacking up those titles that carry zero weight, just like the ones the other team wins. Congrats.

Personally, what's underneath is what really bugs me. Like, some symbol of resistance, but against who or what exactly?????
Man, give me a break 🙂🙂

So, what’s the damage after that game? Anyone actually able to make sense of it, or are we all just staring at the wreckage?

It is quite telling that they are actually removing people who held tickets for entirely different sections than where they were seated...

Some security guard got hurt on duty. I guess things just go south fast sometimes. Maybe.

boldtiger7 said:it’s basically people being escorted out just because their ticket was for a different section than where they were sitting...

So about 50 people got kicked out at the exits because they had tickets for the wrong section. It sucks that they're treating us like this—but honestly? We kind of brought it on ourselves.

SO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR WITH JOINING THE CLUB!!!??? JUST WALK AROUND THE STADIUM WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP CARD AND NOTHING CHANGES, HOW IS THAT NOT CLEAR!??! :-/

All I can say is that I am truly proud of everyone who refuses to back down in this fight.

Look, $17 today was ticket day. If they had just joined seven days ago, they would have gotten into the games against the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle for free. I mean, for $20 you cover two games, instead of paying $20 100 bucks. Plus, you can wander wherever you want in the stands. I’m still pretty shocked there’s a group in the stands that isn't part of the official club membership...

Honestly, though... seeing people at the stadium who aren't even official club members? It’s just wild...

The memberships are valid for a full year from the moment you sign up! What is everyone waiting for?! I finally managed to get through the line today just because I picked up my card yesterday after waiting an entire month! More than 50 people failed to get through today... and that jerk Jerry Jones was just standing there laughing, mocking them, saying "you're all disappearing"... absolute trash. Just a bunch of paid puppets for Jerry Jones!

urbanhawk17 said:Essentially, $17 today is about the ticket price. If they had joined as members seven days ago, they would have seen both the Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle for free. It means for $20 you get two games for the price of $20 instead of paying $100. Plus, you could sit anywhere in the stands. Honestly, I’m stunned there are people in the stadium who aren't official club members...

In my view, waiting for a membership card takes much longer than seven days. I am convinced they intentionally delayed the process so the cards wouldn't arrive before the season ends, specifically to prevent fans from gathering in one place.

Many fans have already given up on the east stands due to the heavy-handed tactics being used; this harassment simply doesn't stop.
During the last game, they blocked off all the entrances just to keep fans from reaching the stands.

I only managed to make it through today because I finally picked up my card yesterday after waiting an entire month! Over 50 people were turned away today, and the security guard was actually smirking, saying, "There will be fewer and fewer of you left." Absolute animals, paid directly by Jerry Jones!

Exactly. You wait a month just to get your membership card. Those 50 people will almost certainly face bans from future games because they didn't enter through the specific gate listed on their ticket. 🙏
