Die-hard Ultras / Hardcore Supporters

Adam Rodriguez7 said:Of course I mean that specific group, not just every girl showing up to games.

If local supporters head downtown... it’s nice to see them, but they shouldn't be in the stands if they aren't part of the crew. Then again, I get where you're coming from since you're a die-hard New Jersey Devils fan...😂

Is this some kind of hardcore rule you've made up because women distract you from serious cheering? 😁

I can watch the game and cheer at the same time. In fact, it keeps me energized. 😁 One of the perks of being in the North Stand is having plenty of women mixed in with the guys.

If we're playing that game, let's start cutting out the posers and the quiet types who don't raise their voices. You find them at both big and small games. And then there's the clowns. 😁

Adam Rodriguez7 said:p.s. I don't know how many women were in the stands last night—for a second there, I honestly thought I’d wandered into a Michel Tel concert.
Classic 60-something 3

Whether it’s at a Lakers game, some random office job, over at Milwaukee, or even watching teams like Inter, Brescia, Atalanta, or those guys from Feyenoord and Zenit... you see the same thing. It’s always a crowd of women. They just gravitate toward where they feel welcome—maybe the Chicago Blackhawks fans are basically just a Michel Tel crowd at this point.🤷 Just some pop star🤷 nonsense🤷 that someone once called "mainstream."🤷 Even back at the old stadium in '88, it felt like a damn pop concert.

I know the New Jersey Devils are relentless 24/7—though I have to give credit to John Brown30 for laying out the facts pretty well—but compared to what euskal-a is pulling, those guys are absolute saints. That guy is basically part of a celibacy crew. We’ve veered way too far off-topic here.

gentledriver7 said:I don't think people actually saw anything, it feels more like just rumors, I guess. Maybe about 20% of them still really support Mamić, then there's probably 20% who are against him—he's been getting bad press for maybe three months now—plus another 20% who don't even follow sports enough to have an opinion, and I suppose whatever is left over is just people who are against Mamić.🙄

It’s honestly great that you made a user account just to explain all this to us, otherwise we might have lived in total ignorance, I suppose.🤦

Casey Gomez3 said:Sorry if I'm derailing the conversation about this tournament, but being a lifelong local here, I'm actually pretty out of the loop on this one. Does anyone have any info on who the guy was and what exactly happened?

The young man was incredibly active and held in very high regard among the NFL fans, if my memory serves me right... I believe he passed away due to heart failure, though please feel free to correct me if I've got that wrong...
Rest in divine peace, LOLO...

On the field at the local club...

YOU LIVED FOR THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS; YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

The NFL fans section is being closed indefinitely. If you have info, photos, announcements, or reports you want to share... just shoot me a DM and I'll get it opened up.

If it’s not too much trouble, could someone from the local club just shoot me a DM? It’s pretty important... And please, don't go cursing me out just because I can't make it to the stadium right now. I really can't, I just don't have the time, and trying to explain everything over the phone isn't really working for me... ☕

Wait, what does that actually mean?? Are they saying the game isn't happening in Columbus?? 😢 😢

So, I’ve been grinding away on this scale model of the Rose Bowl for about seven years now, and honestly, there's still a ton of work left to do, but I'm getting there, and once I finally tackle the roof, I'm planning to install like a hundred little LED lights just to get that perfect stadium glow.

I actually grabbed this from Facebook, and man, seeing the sheer amount of effort and heart going into this project is just incredible, seriously, huge props to them. 👍 🙏

This is a scale model of the Rose Bowl. It's been a project for like 7 years now, but I still have a ton of work left to do. Just gotta finish up the roof, and then I'm thinking about adding maybe a hundred little LEDs on top so it actually glows at night.

Just saw this on Facebook. Man, the dedication and heart here... seriously, huge respect. 👍 🙏

I mean, I’ve always had visions like this in my head, but I’m definitely not the guy who can actually build stuff! Who made this? Maybe I should see if they'll sell me one or just build me another one haha. Seriously though, incredible work.

cosmictinker46 said:Man, I was thinking the exact same thing, but what I had in my head was nothing compared to this masterpiece! Seriously, who put this together? I either need to buy it right now or have someone make me another one immediately because this is just incredible. Major props to whoever did this.

I honestly stumbled upon this by total accident while scrolling through Facebook, some group dedicated to collecting old memorabilia and stuff, and man, it’s absolutely insane how they pulled this off, though it looks like there's still a little work left to do before it's totally finished, but once they wrap everything up, it's going to be freaking legendary.😁

We seriously need to boycott the MLS until the very last matchday, maybe even through the fall season too... this whole circus is just pointless now. Let's just start a brand new league and let Jerry Jones & his crew run their own little show elsewhere. I honestly don't get how people still have the energy to watch this garbage. If you want to support the team, just grab a ticket or go hang out at the pier—forget about places like Columbus, it's all just one big scam.

Michael Gray94 said:Honestly, we should just boycott the MLS until the final round, maybe even through the fall season if it comes to that, because this whole circus is just pointless at this point... let's just start a brand new league and let Jerry Jones and his crew run their own little show... I really don't get how people still have the energy to watch this garbage, and if you want to help the team, just buy a ticket or go hang out by the pier, forget about places like Columbus, it's all just one big scam.

And man, when we actually suggested doing something like this before, everyone just turned on us, saying we were only acting out because we were hurting and that we only cared about the mafia running the MLS since we were sitting at the top of the table, blah blah blah... I mean, I'm not saying it wouldn't be different if things hadn't gone that way, maybe... I just want to say that we're such hypocritical, selfish fans, honestly, while these crooks are basically playing us for fools... we've got much bigger enemies to worry about, yet here we are, more interested in laughing at other teams' misfortunes and cheering for some random matchups between teams like LA Galaxy or Atlanta United while these guys are straight-up mocking us and the entire league... we're pretty pathetic and honestly don't deserve anything better than this.

Let's just start a new league and let Jerry Jones and his crowd play their own little game in isolation. I honestly don't know how anyone still finds the motivation to watch this garbage, if you want to help the club, just buy a ticket and go hang out by the pier. Forget about places like Columbus; it's all one massive, blatant scam.

Good morning, friend. Good morning, ☕

This championship is more inconsistent than anything I've ever seen. How can it be any more disorganized? And yet, people keep showing up to the
Rose Bowl
acting like everything is perfectly fine? Are we actually more delusional than the thieves like Jerry Jones and John Doe, or are the referees even more corrupt than they look?

Raymond King47 said:Look, back when we actually suggested making changes, everyone was just like, "Oh, you guys are fine now, so who cares about the mafia or the thieves running the league? You're at the top, so why bother boycotting anything?" I mean, maybe if things were different, we would've acted differently too... but honestly? We’re just hypocritical fans. Plain and simple. While these crooks are screwing us over and playing us for fools, we're busy laughing at other teams' misfortunes and obsessing over some meaningless rivalry games while they mock us and ruin the entire league. We're pathetic, and frankly, we don't deserve better if this is how we act.

It’s honestly depressing. I look at this forum and see people arguing over petty nonsense—who gets to hold which banner or which flag belongs to whom—while the whole system is being gutted. The whole machine is broken. It's like watching the Titanic go down.

Jonathan Adams98 said:Morning, guys... morning, ☕
.
I mean, this whole season has been so incredibly chaotic—it's like, it couldn't possibly get any more inconsistent than this. And yet, you see people showing up to the
stadium acting like everything is totally fine? Like nothing's wrong at all?
Are we maybe just a little bit slower than the thieves running the show? I mean, between Jerry Jones, Mark Zuckerberg, and those crooked refs, I don't know... maybe we're just being naive.

And honestly, when I was originally typing this out, some of those "respected" forum regulars were spinning these total fairy tales about how we’re basically the Barcelona of the region. It’s funny, really. When people criticize Jerry Jones, they act like it’s a direct attack on Real Madrid if the Red Sox are involved, right? But then, when it's their own backyard, suddenly they're talking about seat assignments, or the manager, or whatever... anything to dodge the point. They just insist that Real Madrid wins the league fairly, and now we’re supposed to sit here and let some random guy on this forum explain to us exactly who is doing what and why. 🤷

Please, stop daydreaming about some magical sense of unity among American sports fans. It honestly baffles me how anyone could even bring up things like Warsaw or Stalingrad in this context; if you ask me, it always feels like people are just competing to see who can be the most "patriotic" or performative about it. We really should have stepped up and put an end to these issues when they were first starting, rather than waiting until everything has already gone south. It seems we’ve all woken up a little too late to the reality of the situation...
