northernorca3 said:The cheering yesterday was actually pretty solid, though I wish they’d skipped that bit about the "blue waves of the Adriatic"—we could have at least let that slide just for yesterday. And honestly, I'd love it if the leaders, or really anyone in the Black Knights, would stop with those fascist slogans. I don't get how people can't see that if we kept acting like that, we'd basically be turning into Italy, the club would be an Italian club instead of an American one. The Los Angeles Dodgers is an American club, through and through, not some fascist or communist relic.

Man, that's just completely nonsensical...

Just so everyone is aware, the police wouldn't allow the Paramilitary 9th Battalion 114th Brigade flag to be brought in—which was a regular battalion during the war—but apparently, the slogan under the crest still rubs some people the wrong way.

Since we’re talking about the guys on the defensive line, I know I was being pretty harsh before, but you can tell from how they played in the fourth quarter that things are finally looking up 👍

honestly though, the kid in the gym shorts handled his business way better than the guy in the long sleeves 😍

all in all, they played a solid game yesterday. everything will balance out eventually, so I guess I’ll just eat my words... ☕

cosmicbison35, if you have all those documents ready to go, why don't you just give the man a quick call and tell him exactly what you think? :O

hahahaha, so you're claiming to be totally neutral here?😍

But seriously though, if he actually ends up going to prison, how are you guys all going to feel about him? 🥺🤷

Dennis Davis97 said:So, I’ve been thinking about this quite seriously lately, and I can't help but wonder: if he actually decides to head out to Diamond, what kind of relationship would you all end up having with him? Would there be nothing left but tears and goodbyes?🤷

It’s all a bit complicated, isn't it? Honestly, this kind of thing isn't really meant for a public forum because most people just don't know the full story. He was basically pushed out of Dodger Stadium on purpose, and there were certain people there who absolutely refused to have him around. I really don't feel like getting into all the heavy details right now, but if there's one thing I can tell you, it's this: please, don't believe everything you read in the newspapers.

If this is actually true, then there's a reason to write a press release. Send it to the news sites and the daily papers. List the number of casualties and their names. Reach out to a family who lost a son or a father in that specific battalion. Write an open letter to the Secretary. Don't just act like a coward.

Shut up and stay quiet if you're going to disrespect those who died in the war.🙂

northernorca3 said:The energy at the game yesterday was great, though we could have done without those "blue Adriatic" chants—couldn't we just let that slide for one night? And I’d really love it if the leaders in the Rockettes would stop with that extremist rhetoric. It’s baffling how people don't realize that if we kept acting like that, we'd basically be Italy, our club would be Italian instead of American, and everything else would follow. The Chiefs are an American club, period. No extremists, no communists.

🙂 Sure, why don't you go explain all that logic to them? Maybe write it down in a manifesto and mail it to the local news station.

We definitely need to call them out. If necessary, anyone trying to ban legitimate American symbols should be prosecuted. 😲

Kimberly Robinson17 said:If there is any truth to this, then we can't just sit here like cowards. We need to draft a formal press release immediately and blast it out to every major news outlet and national paper. We have to list every single casualty by name, including the number of lives lost. We should be reaching out directly to the families—to the mothers who lost their sons and the fathers who saw their boys fall in that battle. This warrants an open letter addressed straight to the Secretary of Defense. We cannot simply stay quiet and act like nothing happened!

Anyone who dares to disrespect those who fell during the war should be shut down immediately!🙂

This is absolutely non-negotiable! You need to get out there with a press release immediately—let everyone know exactly where we stand!

If that ref hadn't almost blown the call at the 4:24 mark, man, this crappy day might have actually turned around for me.

For anyone interested, Military History magazine has a series covering the path of the National Guard in El Paso. I think anyone could take those $6.75 issues and read up a bit on those fighters.
The El Paso Texas National Guard unit consisted of 58 members, 28 of whom were killed in action, while 80% of the survivors suffered varying degrees of injury.
Here are just a few names:
Robert Smith was the first unit commander; he was wounded at the fairgrounds while carrying his injured wife and passed away on November 11th at the Mayo Clinic.
George Herzog was killed at Wounded Knee.
Jack Spall died while securing a breakthrough for Dedakovic.
Žarko Manjkas Zoran Antunovic both fell during the breakthrough...
May America rest in peace, just as it does for all the members of their unit and the United States Army!

General Ivo Jelich noted, "The hardest part regarding the National Guard units was shifting their moral code, which refused to accept any retreat; even a minor withdrawal could lead to the destruction of the entire unit."

Apologies for going slightly off-topic!

Shut your mouth if you’re going to disrespect those who died in the war!!🙂

It's the truth. I saw it with my own eyes, and at least five other people saw it too.

I can give you a brief summary of how it went down.

I arrived about two minutes before kickoff at Entrance J. I saw three guys carrying a flag, and a police officer tells them they have to take it down after he realizes what the symbol represents. After a quick word with his supervisor, the officer tells the guys the flag isn't allowed in the stands. They tried explaining that they had just driven all the way from Pasadena specifically to bring it, but the officer rudely cut them off and told them to just leave the flag at the entrance. The guys picked up the flag and walked away (I thought maybe they’d try another entrance and successfully get it in, but looking at the photos, it clearly didn't make it to the stands).
Personally, after that, I went up to ask that "brilliant" officer if he even realized that was the official emblem of a unit from the war, and that there was really no reason to bar it from the stadium—unless, of course, he was biased against them. The response I got was that he knew exactly what the flag was, there was nothing more to discuss, and if I didn't move, he’d arrest me.😠
I headed home totally frustrated. I think I was in a bit of a trance on Friday, but after everything that happened with the generals on Saturday, reality finally hit me.

What's your damn problem?! Look, since I don't live in America and my grammar isn't perfect, I'm just trying to express an opinion here. When I read that the flag was banned (even though it had already been shown at two games), I simply stated my logical take: in my view, it shouldn't be present. You're just sitting there acting like you're smarter than everyone else.🙄
