We’ve been drinking this on road trips for years. Back then, there were maybe 50 or 100 of us; now there are thousands, and suddenly everyone is acting shocked. Especially those "veterans" in their 30s and 40s who conveniently weren't around back then.

I don't think so.

It feels more like we're just a bunch of fools who have spent the last 23 years voting for leaders who keep feeding us these tired divisions between left and right, all while unemployment numbers climb past 354,000 😉

We really ought to get a train running straight to Chicago—it might just be enough to keep those city folks from getting too restless

Now, suddenly, there are a few thousand showing up, and these guys are acting all shocked, wondering where this crowd even came from. It’s especially funny coming from the old guard—the veterans in their 30s and 40s who, coincidentally, weren't anywhere to be found when we were actually putting in the work. 🥳🙈

Nissan doesn't get this veteran stuff at all. I’m 30 now, and I remember back when I was just a kid, there were way more situations like this happening. Honestly, it drives me crazy when people start chanting political slogans or local celebrity worship during a game instead of just rooting for the team. As for that "ultras, no politics" nonsense? Give me a break. That slogan should be reserved for those fan groups in countries that weren't even built through blood and sacrifice. Our supporter groups back in the early 90s and late 80s were tribal through and through—they weren't exactly staying out of the fray. Sure, it’s stupid to stand behind specific political parties, but you still have to have clear convictions and a standpoint. Are we really going to become "tolerant" just because some people are trying to sell us a load of crap?😁I don't know what you're trying to get at here. You didn't actually say anything. If you have a point to make, just make it. I'm not interested in guessing what you mean.

I don't think we should be going down that path... said:Honestly, I couldn't care less what some random person at the grocery store thinks about the Yankees faithful. If people want us to turn into some charity organization, that's on them... maybe we should just start playing exhibition games against rival fans so the media doesn't label us as hooligans...🙂

I could see you leading us in no time...

We’re basically subsidizing Italian conglomerates while they swoop in and snatch up everything on our coast. It's a joke.

What's next? Are we going to start singing praises for Mussolini too? 🙂

Benito, Benito, Benito... honestly, Mussolini was one of the first names I ever actually learned back in the early 90s up north, along with that specific hand gesture that goes with it.☕
It's just an undeniable fact and there's no way you guys are ever gonna be able to erase that from history. 😉

It’s an established fact. You won't be able to erase it. Ever.

The core has taken a firm stance on this for a long time now. If you can't recall—or if you’re just too young to remember—there’s a full transcript available in "Inside Look." 😉

jademarlin54 said:I am ready. Send the posts. The state of things. Pure and simple.

I guess I don't really see the point in all this white pride stuff, maybe because it just feels like it's coming from a place of tension rather than actual community, if that makes sense. I mean, I've always felt like focusing on those kinds of labels just complicates things more than they need to be, and honestly, it seems like it just stirs up unnecessary conflict when we could probably be focusing on other stuff instead. says:
Honestly, I don't really give a damn what some random lady at the grocery store or anyone else thinks about the Yankees faithful, I guess. If some people want us to turn into some kind of charity organization, that's on them, maybe. It’d be even better if we just started playing friendly games against opposing fans like we used to, just so the public doesn't go thinking we're hooligans or anything, I suppose.🙂

👍
I mean, that’s basically what I was trying to say, but I didn't really want to get too deep into everyone else's business, I guess.

I've noticed some people have been trying to steer the conversation toward certain topics, but honestly? You should just ignore this. There’s plenty of noise out there, but let's stick to what actually matters. [User] says:
It’s honestly about time we decide on a date to finally close this thread.

Look, everyone needs to wrap their heads around one simple reality: just because someone speaks under the banner of a group, an organization, or a political party, it doesn't mean they speak for the whole damn thing. An individual's opinion isn't a collective mandate. One person's take doesn't automatically represent the entire organization. Period.

I honestly don't get it. Suddenly, there are over 50,000 people flooding this place, yet the second we try to discuss anything else, everyone just vanishes. It’s deafeningly quiet.

Let’s be honest: about 99% of the posts here are just pure trolling, mindless mockery, or unadulterated nonsense. It’s honestly exhausting. I’d suggest that anyone who has posted anything in the last 18 hours takes a moment to actually use their brain before hitting "send"—assuming there's even a thought process happening behind those screens in the first place.

Look, smoking stuff like this isn't some new phenomenon—it certainly wasn't the first time we've seen it, and it definitely won't be the last. The real issue this time around? It's that the naive crowd and the fools are falling hook, line, and sinker for the media spin. They’re blowing this whole thing out of proportion just to keep the cycle going forever.

Regarding the upcoming derby, I’d advise everyone to give some serious thought to Sunday—not just about getting to the stadium, but what happens once we’re actually there. I don't think the rival fans or any of that other trash are stupid enough to miss an opportunity to escalate things. My take? A huge chunk of us will make it to the stands, but a smaller group is likely going to be cordoned off. That alone is enough to crank up the tension for us and for the opposing supporters. We all know that even when there's a "truce" in place, there’s always that underlying friction between the two sides. This is exactly the kind of opening those guys will try to exploit to stir up some absolute chaos. Honestly, it would serve them perfectly right now if the two biggest factions in the city ended up at each other's throats inside Yankee Stadium. What I'm really trying to get at is this: whatever happens, we cannot afford to take the bait. If we react poorly to those provocations from the opposition, then everything we've done up to this point has been a complete waste of time.

If I were to add one thing to this discussion, it’s that both sides need to play this smart. Whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, the authorities suddenly started handing out jail time for minor infractions under the fan conduct laws right before the big derby. We really need to use our heads here—nobody wants to end up behind bars over something trivial.

Man, the way the media plays with people's heads is just disgusting. For like ten years, this "us vs. them" rhetoric has been circling in every single letter and editorial, and nobody even blinked. Nobody took it seriously. Now, suddenly, everyone’s up in arms because they've been getting played for years. And look, if they've been screwing you over for a decade, they're gonna do it again. It's always the same old nonsense—political labels, slurs, all that crap. Meanwhile, we've got 350,000 people out of work! Listen, kid, just give people the chance to actually make a living from their own hard work so they can provide a decent life for their families, and everything else will settle itself down. That's the real issue right there! The country is on its knees, drowning in debt, and everyone is looking for solutions on the wrong fronts. And another thing—what happened back in those war memorial sites is a total disgrace to all the victims who gave their lives for American freedom. Who does anyone think they are, judging who gets to march in a parade and who doesn't? In my book, nobody has the right to speak on that day, and honestly, we've managed to cheapen the whole thing. People fought and died in that war so that twenty years later, this country would be left in shambles, forced into corners where people have no choice but to leave just to survive. Was that what they fought for? I'm sick of these fake patriots and all the people who used sham nationalism to bring this nation to its knees. If the current administration isn't fit to lead the procession, then neither is the GOP, which, as the party in power for the longest stretch, bears the biggest responsibility. And don't forget how they had to shake hands with those fringe groups just to form a government—it always leads to shady favors and special treatment for certain groups in places like Vukovar!!

Sunday at Yankee Stadium—let's hope everything goes smart and smooth. It's a massive derby, crowds are gonna be huge. Don't let anyone provoke you. We're all soccer fans together! Get those VIP lounge vouchers!!

Anyway, cheers

Man, I know a guy way out in rural Montana. People swear he’s a genius at handling donkeys, but get this—one time out on a trail near the Rockies, he ended up leading the whole damn group of hikers straight into a patch of poison ivy!

Personally, I love that whole vibe when we’re all grabbing drinks before the big game—just pure chaos and fun while the rival fans are losing their minds down south. I actually snagged some killer wine for the derby this Sunday. Was out at my uncle's place in the countryside so I brought a stash back. We're gonna drink like kings. Seriously, we'll be going at it all night! Once those flares go up and the fireworks start flying, it’s game time. I was even thinking about calling the local fan club leaders to see if we can sneak through the turf area since there's a temporary truce in place. It's gonna be epic.

white pride said:Honestly, I’m kind of on board with everything, especially when I see all those entitled little snowflakes crying about what was sung—makes me smile, actually.🙂 But my real question is, what should it actually signify? Just another group with a sense of national identity?😕

p.s. I’d bet money that some future history book or commemorative calendar will feature photos from this game as proof of the rebellion during this era.😉

ignore this "again"...

Personally, I have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of—and frankly, I hope people keep singing songs like these, whether out of pure revolt or deep political conviction. WHY? Because while our country is being violated year after year, people act like nothing traditional or religious matters anymore. They see sensationalist headlines in magazines and think they're "with it," but does anyone actually care about what’s happening? No. They’re too busy obsessing over some pop star's new single or an actress's messy divorce. Meanwhile, the older generation is fed a steady diet of newspapers and "brutal" news reports—daily brainwashing about historical divisions—until even the most sensible people finally cave to some sensationalist nonsense and start shouting about things they don't even understand. People claim they are fiercely patriotic, but if you ask me if there's any shame in singing these songs? There isn't. WHY? Because I am sickened by how soft everyone has become. People worry about how much money will be spent on a referendum or lose millions in the process, yet nobody asks how much we’ve wasted on these people parading through our cities just so they can wave flags and shout, "Hey, notice me, I'm a rebel!" What have they actually contributed to society? Have they ever visited a sick child to offer support? As far as I know, they haven't. Have they ever stepped out to clear snow in New York City to help the taxpayers who fund their clean streets? I doubt it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it kills me that nobody speaks up—nobody raises hell about the millions stolen from the Republican Party for these massive "investments" (while they just squeeze the citizens at the local depot, because who cares, right?). Where is the federal leadership when everything is falling apart on God's day? When radicals scream against the clergy and spit on faith? http://www.dugineboje.com/galerija.php Who is going to hold them accountable for this disrespect and everything else that comes with it? Nobody can call me a "clueless kid" who wasn't there during the war—I wasn't, and I won't pretend otherwise—but nobody can take away those heavy moments when I was waiting for my father and uncle to come home, while others just sat there holding a photo and sleeping in someone else's clothes. Tears follow tears; there are hard times after the alcohol and the fighting. A lot bothers me—it bothers me to see this uncontrolled debauchery in my homeland, which I honestly love, much like the way everything that felt truly American was wiped out back then, all while the same "HEROES" remain visible today, busy planning their next "investments." Out of defiance and pride, 369 <3, above all else, with the most beautiful song in the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZmLgeGOrI4

So, what’s the verdict? Which neighborhood is actually the toughest? Personally, I think the Hill District and Midtown are where it's at. Rino from the Hill used to hold his own against everyone back when he was out by Mertojak, and those guys haven't been seen anywhere lately, even though everyone says they're the heavy hitters.🤷
What do you guys think is the strongest area? Please, drop your thoughts here.🤷
