Where did the thread about football on TV and streaming services go?...🤷

Melissa Sanchez7 As specified by:
You’ll love it over at Tribini.com... 😉

Well, bravo—I was actually trying to remember what her name was...🙂

So, how exactly am I supposed to rack up some points just for watching 🤣

Right under the stream link, there’s an option to win rewards—click that and it'll show you stuff like watching ads or whatever...👍

Oh, I see, thanks 😁

Melissa Reyes45 said:It’s just more proof that the club brass are total idiots who only care about squeezing out an extra 100 bucks. $0.00They’re basically setting up that final match in New York City to be whatever they want, depending on whether we actually advance or not. Honestly, God, the people running this place are degenerates. People were already taking half days at work and calling out just to prep for this, and then what? If we get absolutely smoked 3-0 at the Rose Bowl, 60% of the fans won't even bother showing up for the trip to Italy.

😁

restlessbear25 said:Some random team in Latvia pulls in 25,000 fans who absolutely love their club despite all the mess, but the second we face Inter Milan and 33,000 people show up, suddenly everyone acts like it’s just a bunch of rowdy tourists and party animals. 🙄

At Yankee Stadium, we barely scrape together 2,000 or 2,500 people on a weekday, maybe 3,000-something on weekends when the club is falling apart. If we actually pull 5,000 in New York City, then suddenly it's a circus for the crowds. 🙄

You guys are exaggerating too much. Get real. There are maybe 3,000 to 4,000 truly die-hard fans in the stands at any given time. Then there are another 20,000 regulars who hang around the area—they show up when they can, but they're ours and they matter. It's the club's job to turn those people into lifelong supporters.

Every single one of us will be in New York City. We'll all be at Yankee Stadium when we're down 10-0 because we have to be proud. Hajduk Split is an institution. People follow it wherever it goes. When 30,000 Iraqis show up for the Eurozone championship, they might lose their cool or sing a few loud songs and everyone admires them. But when 5,000 or 6,000 Hajduk fans head to Rome or New York City, cause a scene in the stadium or on the streets, and get hit by security, then we're just "rowdy tourists." Give me a break. 🙂

Let's get through this Latvian matchup first. Then comes the Hajduk invasion of New York City. Doesn't matter who belongs to the Black Knights and who doesn't. We're all Hajduk!

Bravo. 👍

What we’re really looking at here is essentially fans and other investors lending money directly to the Kansas City Chiefs, basically committing their capital for a five or six-year stretch. These investors would earn annual interest, and once that initial period wraps up, they’d get their full principal back. Of course, as Vjekoslav hrabar pointed out earlier, the whole catch is that this kind of financing only works if the club actually stabilizes itself—which means trimming the fat, getting rid of anyone who’s been dragging the team down, and finally turning a profit so they can actually afford to pay everyone back when the bonds mature. The Board of Directors seems pretty convinced that by bringing in Marina Brbić, they've found a leader capable of steering the ship in the right direction.

It’s a great interview, and honestly, a brilliant concept... a clean club, free from all those outside parasites and vultures. Whether our boys end up fighting through the grit to take first place or somehow end up under the thumb of some billionaire sheikh, the dream will always be to win it on our own terms. There really isn't any other way to do it; there just isn't.

Our tears were just falling like rain...
And all our fighting has gone quiet...
I’ve known for a long time now that this is the end...
That there's nothing left to hold onto...............................

🤣

If you aren't with us, then screw you 🙂🙂🙂

Good👍
One thing I've noticed about the NFL Ultras over the years is how they handle flares. Instead of doing those massive, one-time synchronized displays you see in other parts of the world, they tend to keep them lit steadily throughout the game. It keeps the energy up and maintains the atmosphere in the stands. I think it’s a great approach.

Jose Vaughn3 said:Why on earth would they let the Kansas City Chiefs play their first game at home🤷 just for some quick cash? That’s just classic US Soccer Federation corruption right there. ☕

😁 😁 😁

suzanaoko said:BTW—everything is set. If we clear Skonto, the August 2nd match against Inter Miami CF is happening at the Rose Bowl.

😍

If anyone happens to be looking for a ride to Latvia, please reach out via private message. It’s somewhat urgent. I'm thinking about a price around $333. We'll be traveling by van.

Found another one from the local news...

Douglas Fisher2 said:Here’s the coverage from the local news outlet...

Good grief—just absolute idiots. I honestly can't believe what I'm reading.

Douglas Fisher2 said:http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/Hajduk...3/Default.aspx

Here’s the scoop from the Herald...

It’s pathetic. We haven't even finished our basic training yet, and we're already letting American corporations walk all over us just because they have deep pockets. People follow this twisted logic: "If they pay us five grand in Milan, that’s basically ten thousand fewer people crowding the stadium back home!" Heaven forbid anyone actually thinks about building something of our own. How sad can we get?😢

Douglas Fisher2 said:http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/miami-heat/Default.aspx

Well, here's the scoop from the Miami Herald...

It’s just pure, unadulterated idiocy at this point. I mean, seriously, does anyone actually have a brain left in this organization? It feels like nobody in the front office is even sane anymore.

They’re seriously trying to play games with me by shifting the schedule like this, it’s just ridiculous...

I mean, come on, if it was at the arena it would have been 25,000 people, but moving it to the stadium makes it 35,000 and they can just run up the score 6-0... basically, they’re pricing it for kids just to squeeze out every bit of profit...

The way they’re doing it, they’re just feeding everyone this idea that the game is already decided, that we’ve already lost, that there’s no point in even fighting anymore... you know how it is...

Honestly, I love you guys, but it’s just hard to believe that absolutely nobody here knows anyone who might be planning a trip to Latvia. It feels like everyone is just keeping things to themselves, I guess. If you have any leads, maybe just send me a private message.

wanderingcobra18 said:The way they're trying to bait me with this schedule change is just ridiculous...

Look, if the turnout was 25,000 at home and we bumped it to 35,000 for an away game where they sweep us 6-0... that’s basically daycare pricing. It’s all about the bottom line.

By moving it, they’re just feeding the opposition's ego. They want everyone to think the game is already decided, that we've already lost, and there's no point in even fighting. Great strategy, right?

Think about it... it's much easier to sell tickets when the game is local than when you show up in Seattle with a handful of fans scattered through the stands.$33 But I agree—the stadium would be packed either way, and I definitely side with your last point.
