jadecrane21 said:I guess I could take a crack at this... let's try going in chronological order:

Mythology and other bedtime stories... if you can even call them that anymore.
While he’s busy pointing fingers at everyone else—trying to act like he can boss around the NFL Ultras and the whole Hajduk fanbase—the guy is nothing but a walking myth himself. Seriously. Take this whole "bringing back the Dinamo name" nonsense. He tries to pin all the credit on the BBB, which is just a total fabrication... a complete fairy tale. If the old guard hadn't passed on, that name would never have been restored. It’s honestly depressing. Once they were gone, everything just drifted along on its own... Honestly, if they even thought about changing the club's name in Miami or anywhere else in California, there’d be absolute hell breaking loose... I'm talking total chaos. People would lose their minds. It wouldn't just be a protest; it would be a full-blown riot. You can't just mess with that kind of history... it's built into the DNA of the fans. Everything would go up in flames.You really think other major supporter groups wouldn't be fighting just as hard to clear their names like the BBB are? Honestly... the NFL Ultras would probably be way more intense about it. Much stronger, too.

2. The fight against the mob in American soccer... it's a mess. A total disaster. Everyone thinks they can just walk in, grab the bag, and run. It’s all dirty deals and backroom handshakes behind closed doors... honestly, it makes me sick to my stomach. You look at how things are run, and it's like watching a slow-motion train wreck. They talk about "growth" and "passion," but we all know what's actually happening under the surface. It's just greed. Pure, unadulterated greed... and nobody seems to be doing anything to stop it. Just more of the same. Same old story.Let’s be real for a second... the biggest blows ever dealt to the football mafia—and to everyone who absolutely loathes Jerry Jones—just came straight out of Miami. And the best part? It was all done through completely legal, legitimate means...
The Code... if you can even call it that. It’s just more red tape designed to keep us spinning our wheels while the big shots laugh all the way to the bank... honestly, it's exhausting.
John Doe...
Our Hajduk... and then there's that total black box over at LA Galaxy. It’s just one big mess of shady dealings and zero transparency. Honestly, I'm tired of it...
It’s all just one big racket... that whole cartel between the LA Galaxy and Los Angeles FC... they're basically running the show together. Meanwhile, we've got our Hajduk just trying to survive the madness.
If you really want to see last night's choreography too...

The group's survival isn't just some side project... it’s everything. It’s the lifeblood of this whole club. If the supporters aren't there, driving the energy, then what even is this place? Just a bunch of empty seats and overpriced concessions at Yankee Stadium. We need that core, that raw passion from the NFL Ultras to actually mean something. Without them, the identity just evaporates. You can't have a heartbeat without a pulse, right? And right now, it feels like we're fighting just to keep that pulse steady... it's exhausting.
Your whole crusade against Jerry Jones started down the wrong path from day one... not to mention all that mocking and sarcasm directed at our "code of ethics." You guys only started acting like you cared about cleaning up the business side of football a few years after everyone else already saw through the nonsense!

Look, this long-winded, overly dramatic saga of yours... besides the people who actually wrote it, maybe two hundred people in all of America have even glanced at it. And don't get me started on the journalists. Not one single competent reporter in this country stepped up to help you spread the truth. They should've been there... but they weren't...

I know the usual crowd is gonna jump down my throat right now. They’ll claim that back in the nineties, we weren't doing anything more productive than playing pool in the fan club lounge, or that we were too wrapped up in our own little worlds to care about anything else... but honestly? Just look at where we ended up versus where you guys are sitting right now. It speaks for itself...
It’s pretty simple, really. The BBB crowd basically turned on themselves. They started splintering off into these little cliques of maybe 300 "chosen ones," and then the CIA stepped in and did their thing... Now? They aren't even a factor at Yankee Stadium anymore, let alone in a city they're supposed to actually represent. Just pathetic...

Laura Mitchell87 is probably the guy who’s done more for the supporter scene in America than anyone else, honestly... but man, he can be so stubborn sometimes. I swear, he's completely intoxicated by this whole myth surrounding the BBB... it's like he can't see anything else.
I’ve already said it before—nobody would be any happier than me if you all just stood on my head... but honestly, I highly doubt you guys would ever go that far. Now you're all putting your faith in the Secretary, but let's be real. It isn't going to amount to anything more than a few minor tweaks to the LA Galaxy bylaws. Sadly... that's about it.

When it comes to the NFL Ultras and our boys at Hajduk... honestly, we don't need some government agency or federal inspector breathing down our necks. We've already proven that ourselves...

Catch you on the flip side... peace out!

The fans over there would probably gear up for a riot, but let’s be real—nothing would actually happen. We learned that lesson the hard way ourselves. When the President of the United States is the one pulling the strings behind the club, you're stuck... You'd want to fight back, sure, but how do you win? You can't exactly take on the entire federal machine when you've got the military and the FBI standing right behind them. It's a losing game...

I’ve gotta say, I really admire how you guys tackle the fight against the mob... seriously, I give you props every single time...

Regarding that whole exposé... yeah, way more people read it, but whatever. It’s not on us if the journalists are just paid hacks writing whatever their editor clears or—let’s be real—whatever Jerry Jones puts in their pockets.

The only real issue we’ve got is the image we trashed ourselves with all that bullshit... plus, we don't have the city backing us like you guys do. It’s pretty simple, really. LA Galaxy is three times the size of Miami, so obviously, not everyone living in LA is obsessed with the team. But in Miami? It’s different. You guys only have Hajduk, so of course everybody rallies behind them. It’s just how it works...
People don't give a damn about the LA Galaxy or how Jerry Jones runs things... honestly. It’s all secondary when you're just trying to land a job, put food on the table, and pray the bank doesn't snatch your house out from under you. You see it every day... people today? You can't even get them to show up for a decent protest against the government. And we've got nearly 400,000 people out of work... it's pathetic...

The crowd at Yankee Stadium these days? It’s split. You’ve got the die-hards who actually give a damn about LA Galaxy, and then you’ve got the folks facing stadium bans. Honestly, there are plenty of people who love the club, but they’re just completely fed up with the state of American soccer... it's enough to make you sick. They just don't bother showing up anymore.

And look, Laura Mitchell87 isn't the villain everyone thinks he is. Most of the time, he's just playing you guys... because let's face it, most of you have zero patience and lose your minds over nothing. The guy has actually done more for the supporter scene in the last 15 or 20 years than anyone else...

It’s just pure NK Vartek style ☕—that's how you play the game. No more of this "if we could just tweak this little thing" nonsense. It’s basically just wanting all the glory without putting in any of the actual work.

Now that you guys have fed my ego, I'm heading out. ☕ 🤣

What the hell is this supposed to be? Everyone is signing off on a post that’s already been edited—is that actually okay? Especially when I show up just a few minutes late? Is that normal? It’s definitely not normal—it's ridiculous—and honestly, you all need to get your act together. 😁

feralwolf16, don't be such a cheapskate—just rewrite it... 🙂

It seems like every single living soul is busy signing off on some post that’s already been edited, and I have to ask myself if this is even remotely acceptable behavior, especially when I happen to be just a few minutes late to the party. Is that supposed to be okay? Of course it isn't, yet everyone acts like it's some grand achievement, and frankly, it's infuriating how many of you are participating in this nonsense. 😁

feralwolf16, don't be such a cheapskate about it, just go ahead and rewrite the damn thing... 🙂

You're running behind schedule🤣

Peter Barrett said:I'm with mcml on this, though you're being a bit too negative and pessimistic, but fair enough.

I honestly think what’s been happening since the BBB days is a joke, especially coming from losers

trying to "save" Real Madrid. I bet any hardcore supporter group would do the same thing, regardless of how dangerous it gets. Honestly, if things hadn't gone south so badly for Franjo, nobody would even be talking about this.

And now this whole crusade against Jerry Jones? You guys enjoyed the perks of his leadership for years. It was only when you realized the guy had completely burned you and the club that you decided to pick a fight with him. But again, the man played you all so hard that expecting anything else from you is just delusional. It took you long enough to wake up.🤷

If you didn't have such a massive propaganda machine covering up what's actually going on, I think the entire region would be laughing at you. But since the PR is handled so well, you just cling to it like the local heroes of New York City. Other fan groups might give you some respect, but with posts like these, you're just making yourselves and your own group look like losers.

edit: idiots, my bad for not quoting mcml. 😁

Still haven't realized that Jerry Jones screwed you and everyone else in America more than anyone?

Other groups across the states would be dancing to his tune, especially our neighbors out East. So yeah, you've really hit rock bottom.

Christian Jones said:The crowds over there would probably rise up, but they wouldn't actually accomplish anything—just like we couldn't—because the club was essentially run by the head of state, period. They’d try to fight, but they wouldn't succeed, since you simply can't take on a government machine backed by both the military and the police.

Your fight against the mob is excellent, and I give you credit for that every single time.

As for the scandal, more people read it than you think, but hey—not our fault if journalists are just paid hacks writing whatever their editors approve or, in other words, whatever Jerry Jones pays them to write.

Our main issue is the image we've trashed with certain bullshit moves, plus we don't have the city's support like you guys do. Part of the reason is that New York City is three times larger than Miami, and not every Real Madrid fan lives in NYC like the Ultras do in the Stadium. In Miami, you only have Liverpool FC, so naturally, everyone stands behind them.
People don't give a damn about Real Madrid or Jerry Jones; they’re more concerned with finding a job, putting food on the table, and keeping their heads above water so the bank doesn't seize their house. You see how impossible it is to get people today to even show up for an honest protest against the government, even when we have nearly 400,000 unemployed!

The segment of the population for whom Real Madrid still matters is either at the stadium or facing bans. There are also people who love the club but are so disgusted by the overall state of American soccer that they just stop going to matches altogether.

Losers isn't as bad as most of you think; in most situations, he’s just trying to bait you because most of you have incredibly short fuses. The guy has actually done quite a bit for the fan scene over the last 15 to 20 years.

I support your struggle against the leadership, absolutely. You just need to realize that this highlighted point applies to all of America—specifically, in Miami, it’s much more pronounced than in New York City. If finding a new job is a struggle in New York (assuming you lose your current one), then imagine doing that in a city that is more than three times smaller in population, yet likely has double the accumulated capital. If I'm not mistaken (and I shouldn't be), 91 out of the top 100 largest companies in the country are located in the Tri-state area and its surrounding areas... Furthermore, the average salary in New York is 19% higher than the national average, whereas in Miami, it’s about 7% lower than the national average. That means the gap between the two biggest cities is 26 percentage points (over a quarter)! The most pathetic part is that despite all the economic metrics working against it, the cost of living in Miami is actually higher than in New York. 🤣 🙂

So, next time you think life is tough in New York, just remember that for most of the rest of the country, you're basically living in California 😉
no matter how hard life might be everywhere else...

hmm, so why is it that whenever they measure satisfaction levels, those Florida counties always top the list and are some of the only ones actually seeing positive population growth?

It’s not about how much you have, it's about how little you actually need.😉

I'll tell you straight from experience: your average New Yorker who supports Real Madrid generally doesn't grasp what's really going on with the team. They can sense something is off, but they won't even bother showing up to games because they're too comfortable. They just wait for things to fix themselves. How? Who knows... just like everything else out there...

You guys are actually decent people when you stop spreading those paranoid conspiracy theories. Maybe if you talked less nonsense, we could finally unite like that one choreo showed, dry up this swamp, and wipe out the trash...
We’ve got people who actually show up on TV and hold their own. The Ultras have built a solid group of intellectual activists fighting through the legal system. If we could actually get everyone on the same page, we'd be unstoppable...
But first, everyone needs to get their egos in check, otherwise there isn't a chance in hell...

While we’re all sitting here bickering amongst ourselves, the local thugs in the Miami neighborhood are basically treating us like a joke and picking our pockets!

Christian Jones said:Our biggest issue is really just the image we’ve tarnished through certain nonsense, coupled with the fact that we lack the local municipal backing you enjoy. It essentially boils down to the scale of things; Washington, D.C. is three times larger than Miami, and not everyone living in D.C. identifies as a Dynamo fan, unlike the South Side Ultras where it's a given. In Miami, you only have Hajduk, so it’s perfectly natural for the entire city to rally behind them.
Truthfully, people aren't losing sleep over Dinamo or Mamić. They're more preoccupied with finding steady work, putting food on the table, and making sure the banks don't foreclose on their homes. You see it clearly enough—you can't even motivate people to stage a decent protest against the government, despite nearly 400,000 people being out of work!

When social safety nets fail and unemployment spikes, there is arguably no better catalyst for a group to coalesce; when people have nothing else to do, they turn to their circle, gravitating toward the same faces and venting their frustrations through violence. I am not suggesting that violence is the answer—in fact, leaning into it now would likely dismantle the entire supporter movement. As for why you lack support from the locals in D.C., I suspect there are deeper reasons than what's being suggested here, reasons you all recognize every time you step foot into the stadium. What the previous poster wrote are merely myths suited for the internet; reality is quite different, a fact you are all painfully aware of whenever you head to the matches.

Not too long ago, these guys were actually out there putting in the hard work to pull off those choreographies ☕

Honestly, it’s just way easier to sit on your couch at home and spout nonsense

Am I really calling people out just because they aren't part of the union or whatever???

Just write about what the actual message is...

What else are fans supposed to talk about? Make the choreos, light the flares, cheer, and most importantly—just show up to the games... I'm sick of wasting energy on these losers and frauds...

Look, either it's total chaos and blood in the streets, or you just focus on yourself. Why bother pointing out the crime and the filth to some damn Gandhi figure when the stands are just dead silence except for maybe two lines of lyrics? They say two days ago that an assembly was ruled illegal after two years—so what? It's a one-day news story, yet fans are still expected to write messages🤣
