Bad Boys - Part IV

It’s pretty obvious that Pero has started being picky about which games he shows up to lately—and honestly, I have zero intention of chasing after people or begging them to show up to the stadium.
For whatever reason, Pero just isn't feeling the local league anymore.
Is that cool of him? Probably not. But you know what? I’d much rather see Pero hanging out in Chicago than deal with Kvrga.

The reality is, a lot of the old guard has basically taken an early retirement, leaving the younger crowd to pick up the slack. It's just how things go—you move on... that's just life.

In a perfect world, you'd see both sides represented, but during times like this, those who are actually making the biggest sacrifices are the ones showing up. You can't really blame anyone else for staying behind; at the end of the day, it’s their choice and their right to make.
It’s obvious that the more people we have, the easier this becomes for everyone involved...

Today, everyone who is able should head over to the East...

...Pero and Kvrga, you guys should get down here too...

Henry Grant51 said:...Pero and Kvrga, why don't you two show up too?...

😂 what a legend

For one thing, I have zero respect for either of them...
they're just a bunch of cowards pretending to be hardcore fans.

Look, whether you respect someone or not is one thing, but deciding to show up—whether it’s for the local matches, the big individual games, or even the Champions League—that’s entirely on the individual. It's their call if they want to be there or not. Honestly, if everyone just focused on themselves and their own actions instead of worrying about what others are doing, things would start looking a lot better for everyone pretty quickly...

EVERYONE GET TO THE STADIUM!!!

Why was my post deleted for calling both Pero and Kvrga cowards?

Because you didn't include any emojis, genius.☕

My best friend just called me right after the game ended—I couldn't make it today. Look, we’re forty years old, we show up to every home game religiously, and we even travel for away matches. He always brings his kid along, who’s just starting first grade. This guy actually ended up behind bars with his little boy because they were shouting stuff at the coach. They told him straight up that if the kid shouts against the head coach one more time, he's going to jail right alongside his dad. I'm asking you guys, what are we supposed to do? We aren't giving up, but man, they would seriously arrest a child. Where is the ACLU or some kind of child advocate when you actually need them? He called me during the match, and honestly, I have no clue what to do. The kid is totally traumatized. If I had been there, I probably would've been hauled off too—I work as a processor at a local school, and I’d likely lose my job instantly if I got arrested. I'm not trying to whine here, but I've got a family to think about, and I don't want to stop fighting this.

They told him straight up—the kid goes to jail with him if he yells against the boss one more time. I'm asking people, what are we supposed to do? We aren't giving up, but they would've actually detained a child... where is the ACLU or whatever child advocacy group is supposed to protect them? He called me during the match; the kid is in total shock. Honestly, I probably would have been hauled in too if I were there, and since I work as a school processor, I'd likely lose my job instantly if I got arrested. Not complaining, but I have a family to think about—I just don't want to stop fighting.

God help us, what is happening? It feels like everyone has a sword hanging over their heads. It's not even about being a fan anymore in this day and age—we need to band together and push this through to the end. The authorities have had enough, and they won't hesitate to hand out one last ban!

neonraven112, don't you worry! We’ve already won this one. These are nothing more than the desperate maneuvers of someone who has absolutely no idea how to handle themselves anymore. Honestly, when you find yourself at a stadium—a place that is supposed to be a shining bastion of democratic expression—defending fundamental human rights, then you know things have truly hit rock bottom.
What kind of penalty could they even hand down? It's laughable, really; thinking anyone actually faces consequences for standing up against this nonsense. A local municipal court might buy into the owner's cheap demagoguery, sure, but once it hits a serious state appellate court or the Supreme Court, they don't stand a chance. It’s pathetic. People, please, stop being intimidated; they are clearly just trying to scare you.
Furthermore, don't make things any easier for the mercenaries. Let them sweat a little. That's why you shouldn't be cluttering this space with whining and endless complaining! This is a public forum, and I suggest everyone keeps that in mind.
To the core leadership running this group: respect to those holding the reins. We are rising up. We’re heading East in even greater numbers. Forget about the club owners, the corrupt suits, the police, and all the rest. Let's bring our team back together!
We will be the club we were meant to be again!!

Honestly, when you find yourself at a stadium—which is supposed to be a freaking pillar of democracy—defending basic human rights, then you know things have truly gone off the rails.
I mean, what kind of punishment could they actually give? It’s a joke. They might try to back up some local politician's trashy rhetoric in a small-town court, but there is zero chance any actual higher court or the Supreme Court is going to buy that nonsense. Seriously, it's hilarious. Stop being scared, people—they're trying to intimidate us!
And while we're at it, don't make it easy for the paid trolls. Let them work for it! So quit whining and posting all this useless crap here. This is a public forum, keep that in mind!
Shout out to the group admins for keeping this whole thing running. We're stepping up—we're heading to the East Side in even bigger numbers. Forget the club owners, forget the cops, and forget the rest of those losers, let's bring our team back together!
You'll be the powerhouse again!!

Man, I feel for that kid. It's heartbreaking that a seven-year-old has to deal with all this crap because of how someone looks, instead of just cheering for their team with their dad. It's a level of evil I can't even put into words—seeing that fear in a child's eyes because of some addict who only cares about money. Next game, my buddy and his kid are gonna be right there with me in the East Side stands. Even if the whole family has to walk away from everything else, we aren't backing down.

We’re forty years old now, we show up to every home game like clockwork, and we even travel for away games from time to time. He always brings his kid along—little guy just started first grade. Well, he actually ended up in handcuffs with his son because they were shouting those "motherf***er" chants. They told him straight up that if the kid shouts against the Commissioner one more time, they’ll take the little boy into custody right alongside him. I’m asking you guys, what are we supposed to do? We aren't going to quit, but they’d seriously arrest a child; where is the ACLU or some kind of advocate for kids in all this? He reached out to me during the match, and I'm just lost on how to handle this. The kid is in total shock. Honestly, if I had been there, I probably would have been detained too, and since I work as a processor at a local school, I'd likely lose my job instantly if I got arrested. I'm not trying to complain, but I have a family to think about, yet I really don't want to walk away from the fight.

I saw the whole thing unfold, mostly because I was standing just two or three feet away from it.
It was a complete disaster; I don't think things could have gone any worse than this.
Around the 70th minute, the kid walks up to the stadium security and tells them to make sure they remember everyone yelling those insults toward the officials, so they can haul them in.
To be fair, the timing for leaving the stands was perfect, because that was exactly when the chaos broke loose and they started pulling individuals out for chanting against that greasy official and the league, and they were already heading toward the crowd...

Listen up, people—use your heads here. This whole thing is scripted, plain and simple. It’s all being done on purpose. If things don't change drastically, nobody’s even going to be able to show up at the stadium because they’ll just use bans to shut us down. Instead, the stands are going to be taken over by mercenaries—hired hands brought in to perform choreographed routines and "civilized cheering"—because the average fan doesn't give a damn and doesn't understand the game. There's a full-scale mobilization happening right now to get these "club friends" back onto the North Stand, all because anyone caught in a photo or a video is going to be banned from our section. My biggest worry is my job... these lowlifes will pin an assault on a public official on me, and I'll end up stuck in a cell for a month just like that. I'm not saying I'm quitting at 39 years old, but this path leads straight to a jail cell since the laws are being held tight by the mob and the big shots. I'm not whining here, so don't start with me—I’ve got three kids, a mortgage, and a great career, and standing there with you guys (it's an HONOR) while taking on the mafia is incredibly hard to do. But again, I'm not backing down, I'm just looking for a way out, just like neonraven112 and his buddy did.

If things don't change drastically, nobody’s gonna be allowed in the stands because they’ll just brush off bans like they mean nothing. Instead, they're gonna fill the seats with hired goons—people brought in with scripted chants and that fake "civilized cheering" crap, because the average person doesn't give a damn and won't even notice. There's a full-on mobilization of "club loyalists" (aka mercenaries) happening right now to get their people back in the North Stand, all because those of us caught on camera or video are going to be blacklisted from our own home. My biggest worry is my job—these lowlifes will pin an assault on a public official on me, and I'll be stuck in a cell for a month just like that. Look, I’m 39, and I’m not planning on quitting, but this path leads straight to a jail cell if the laws are being dictated by the mob and corrupt politicians. And don't you dare call me a quitter—seriously, shut up about that. Having three kids, a mortgage, and a solid career while standing shoulder-to-shoulder with you guys and taking on the mafia... that's incredibly hard. But again, I'm not backing down, I'm just looking for a way through, just like neonraven112 and his buddy are doing.

I'm with you. This whole setup with that crooked owner is perfect for them—we all get banned, and they get exactly what they've always wanted. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think they're systematically destroying us, and we're basically sprinting headfirst into a firing squad. It's brave, sure, but is it smart? Is it tactical? I honestly don't know.

What are 🙂😠
doing to us?
THIEVES AND CRIMINALS... TOTAL SCUM!

It’s a losing game because these clowns have total carte blanche to haul away anyone brave enough to raise hell against their corrupt leader—but honestly, we can't just roll over. On the flip side, it’s really just a matter of how much longer it takes before they clear us all out of the stands entirely. The reason doesn't even matter at this point. How do we move forward? Maybe someone smarter or more level-headed can weigh in, because look, I’m telling you... getting banned isn't the real issue here. The real question is who's actually going to be left in the stands to deal with those damn mercenaries once we're gone...

Honestly, it's just a matter of time before they clear us all out of the stands—the reason doesn't even matter at this point. How we move forward? Maybe someone smarter or wiser can weigh in. I’ll say this much: taking a ban isn't the issue. The real problem is who's left in the stands to stand up to those paid mercenaries once the real fans are gone.

Jesse Campbell and some guy with a razor replied to you just a few pages back.
meaning they hit me with 🍿

I felt genuinely embarrassed watching those idiots from Cleveland push out our homegrown talent. We need to actually stand up to the local authorities and security—if any of us even has the backbone left—instead of just sitting on the sidelines while they drive our future away from our stadium. How are we supposed to expect a 15-year-old kid to handle this kind of nonsense during a regular game? Either we show some teeth, or we're finished.

Jesse Campbell said:The City of Washington, D.C. isn't allowed to fund Real Madrid anymore starting July 1st.

I mean, could the local tourism board just take $6 million from the city and then funnel it over to Real Madrid under the guise of "international promotion"? Of course they could—they always find a way, don't you worry about that... But honestly, the City of Washington, D.C. is sinking in its own mess, and eventually, that faucet is going to run dry. No matter how much they want to keep the money flowing for some comeback tour, if they don't fix the basics, the streetcars aren't even going to be running. That day is coming sooner than people think.

That’s pretty much it from me. A huge "thanks" to everyone, especially a quick shout-out to the Boys online and all the guys hanging out at the local bars.

The most baffling part of this whole situation for me is the absolute inability to sort out the security issues. I honestly can't wrap my head around it. It just doesn't make sense to me.🤷
