You've written so many posts today, it's almost like you think you're the only one fighting for the soul of the supporter movement!
Now explain to people—and me—what we actually gain by boycotting one or maybe two games?
A boycott, only to come back for the third game and cheer again just like you guys did after thirteen months of achieving absolutely nothing?
I'll pass, thanks!

Not because of some "holy war" or ultra dogma, but just to back the players and the front office. At least this management supports us. Previous boards used to spit on the MLS Ultras in every way possible; we all remember that. I know the flares aren't exactly beloved and they'd rather not see them, but at least they aren't screwing us over. And regarding the fight against those hacks at the US Soccer Federation and the stuff being written by certain groups—there is no "us versus them." I think there definitely *is* an "us versus them," but take it how you want... and don't think you're saving the fan movement by chanting slogans about corrupt owners or saying the federation ruined American soccer. The only thing that makes sense is pushing for legal reform through the courts. Because the owners will leave, someone else will step in, but the laws stay the same. On the stands, you should do what you've always done, maybe just stop throwing things on the pitch. It seems like a lot of people here are trying to act like they're part of some hardcore ultra movie. To most, that just means putting the group first, and as long as that's the case, I'll be a hardcore radical. Because LAFC comes first, then the MLS Ultras, then everything else.
Buddy, you haven't stepped out of that "hardcore radical" mindset, and you never will. It's obvious to everyone! 🙂
Dennis Davis97 said:If that isn't your reason, why do you only show up for LAFC matches? Why don't you head to Cincinnati, Portland, or Seattle on a normal day? Have a nice drink, get into a scrap (you'll have more chances when there isn't a game), laugh, joke around... that sort of thing.
Now, when I go to Cincinnati, it's mostly for the good football... and when I head to the suburbs, it's for the stadium and the game.

And honestly, everything Tom said on TV needs to be echoed by anyone who actually understands what it means to be a real fan.
Way to go, Tom!
