Bad Boys

EVERYONE TO THE NORTH STAND!

Word on the street is they’re actually going to let kids under 18 back into the North Stand by the end of the month. That means they should be good to go for Sunday's match against Los Angeles FC and the cup game against San Francisco.

I guess those new regulations kick in on March 1st. Maybe.

EVERYONE TO THE NORTH STAND!

🙏🙏

For the 3,586th time in the last decade.

And then you'll see three or four absolute nobodies gather together to belt out some pathetic little chants about the LA Galaxy—as if that club even exists anymore. You know the drill: "Na-na-na-na, LA Galaxy champions," "Go Blue," and so on—followed by a whole litany of cowardice. Then, once or twice during the match, they’ll timidly mutter things like "corrupt owners" or "USSF degenerates." 🙏
Maybe they'll even throw up a little sign or a banner.

If the opposition happens to score a goal, don't forget to celebrate it with your little group of losers. Because—let's be honest—the only thing that actually matters to them is seeing LA FC concede.

Et cetera, et cetera... it's the same tired story I've heard a thousand times.

HEAD FIRST INTO THE WALL, hiddenridge99.

And then we’ll all flock to the forums to play our part, acting like absolute hardliners—you know the type, claiming to hate everything and everyone under the sun.

Of course, there will be certain essential tasks that absolutely must be accomplished, but I won't be the one stepping up. Let the kids take the risks and put their necks on the line; I’d much rather stay tucked away in a local pub where it’s safe.

That is simply the reality of the mentality in this mediocre city. No one can be bothered to do anything, yet everyone carries themselves as if they are someone of immense importance. Everyone fancies themselves a genius and loves to criticize how things are run, but the moment actual action is required? You can't find a single soul willing to show up.

This is the 3,586th time you've done this in the last decade.

And then what? A few losers will gather together to sing old songs about the LA Galaxy—as if that club even exists anymore. "Na-na-na-na, LA Galaxy champions," or "Go Blues..." followed by all those other insults. Then, maybe once in the first half and once in the second, they’ll timidly mutter things about "corrupt owners" or "USSF officials." 🙏
Maybe there'll even be a little sign or a banner.

If some random team happens to score a goal, don't forget to celebrate it with your group of buddies. Because, hey, as long as Los Angeles FC conceded, everything is fine, right?

Et cetera, et cetera... it's the same tired story told a thousand times.

YOU ARE TOTALLY CLUELESS, hiddenridge99.

No, we'll just stay home, but we'll make sure to lecture the kids on exactly how they should act.
We haven't shown up anywhere for ten years, but God forbid we don't have an opinion on everything.
You aren't the only one who gave up on everything—I can actually respect that—but if you're going to do that, at least be fair and let this new generation fight and grow however they see fit. Staying home is your right, but don't try to dictate how others live their lives.

When you see a player score and doesn't even get a fraction of a response from the stands, it’s a sign of how bleak things have become for the Cleveland Cavaliers. But that's just life here. If everyone starts walking out, I guess I'll be right behind them...
Otherwise, if you're tired of wasting your youth standing in line only to end up in some cramped section, just head over to the Avenue Mall and pick up a ticket like a civilized human being.

Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers are pushing forward with Zodiac—it’s the biggest protest against the mob and the Head in Miami. And you guys reject the protest just because you think the Black and Gold Army is under the influence of the Democratic Party (??)...

Go ahead, just keep celebrating goals and cheering when the Buccaneers lose; honestly, it would be better if the Cleveland Cavaliers were champions playing in the LP, just as long as it isn't the Buccaneers...

And don't even get me started on those blacklists. Go buy a ticket for a Buccaneers away game, show your ID, and actually look at the paper with all the names on it. When you check to see if you're on the list—and see how many guys are actually on there—you'll realize it's not just you on some blacklist, nor is it just one person trying to shut down the whole system.

Then there's this nonsense about Zdravko Reić's statement claiming the Buccaneers are a Yugoslav Club while the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been more "American" leaning. I won't even dignify that with a comment. 😂

Your "American-leaning" club has done more damage to American sports and soccer in just these last 10 years—not to mention the stuff regarding Franja and Canjuga—than all the state institutions combined... Seriously, this club is just a playground where two arrogant drug addicts have been getting rich for 10-15 years. They control the entire USSF, they pick the players for the national team, and they turn football and sports into a total racket. To hell with that argument about Yugoslav Clubs versus American clubs; it's a damn disgrace. If you didn't spout nonsense about Stinc, Grgica, Fio, Nadan, Sanader, and our shameful past, we wouldn't be here, but when you start using that crap to lure kids into the stands, it makes me want to vomit...

It is all good. Honestly, I actually enjoy seeing the passion. It just proves the group is headed in the right direction, regardless of what anyone else finds irritating. 👍

Samuel Walker7 said:Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers pushed through Zodiac, marking the largest protest against the mafia and the Head in Miami. Your refusal to support the movement just because you claim the Black and Gold Army is under the influence of the Democratic Party is ridiculous.

Go ahead and keep celebrating those goals. Keep cheering whenever the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lose. Honestly, I’d rather see the Cleveland Cavaliers take the championship and play in the LP just to ensure the Buccaneers stay out of it.

Stop whining about blacklists. Go buy a ticket to a Tampa Bay Buccaneers away game, show your ID, and actually look at the list. Check if your name is even on there and see how many people are included. You aren't the only one blacklisted, and you aren't the only one trying to dismantle the entire system.

Regarding Zdravko Reić’s statement about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers being nothing more than a former Yugoslav Club while the Cleveland Cavaliers have always been more aligned with American interests—I'll leave that one alone. 😂

Your club, driven by nothing but pure nationalism, has done more damage to American sports and soccer in just the last decade than every other national institution combined. Honestly, I won't even get started on Franja and Canjuga. This club is basically a playground where two smug junkies have been lining their pockets for fifteen years. They control the entire USSF, hand-pick players for the national team, and turn the whole industry into a total mess. And spare me that pathetic "Yugoslav Club vs. American Club" nonsense. It’s embarrassing. If you want to lecture us about Stinc, Grgica, Fio, Nadan, or Sanader and those shameful eras of ours, fine—but when you try to use that garbage to lure kids into the stands to support you, it makes me sick.

The video lacks substance. A waste of time.

Is loving the Cleveland Cavaliers—our national treasure—really such a sin? Talking about the old Yugoslav Club is foolish, but the fact remains that the Marshal himself was a fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I’m not calling you out specifically, nor am I targeting those hardcore communists down the line. At the end of the day, we have a Mayor here in Washington, D.C., who in 2017 opens up a Bistro Loli Ribar. All those gentlemen are an embarrassment; they were broken by Josip Broz Tito and Yugoslavia. We are the descendants of this nation. It’s ridiculous watching fans bicker over who is a "Yugoslavian." We are all complicit, and there is no point in arguing about it. You’d be better off watching how this disheveled guy gets catapulted out. In a country where the Republican Party and Democratic Party brotherhood holds two-thirds of the voters, changing anything is nearly impossible. That isn't on the Bad Boys. The Bad Boys aren't in a position to rule, so don't blame them for not removing this mess; they simply don't have the tools. If anyone who knows all those nationalist singers and corrupt officials wants to see them gone, then we are just the urbanites. But whatever, Americans would rather argue than actually act—whether they were fascists or partisans, everyone against the disheveled guy is the same. This man doesn't have the support of the Cavaliers fans, but he has political backing. We even had your guy from the coast, Sanader. The Bad Boys can't fix this; they aren't politicians. They can write slogans like you do or organize protests, though those protests rarely do much good. As long as you don't sit in political chairs, none of it will ever happen.



I honestly don't get why we're fighting in Ukraine when we have our own local issues right here at home. What good are those militias or Russians over there when we've got plenty of our own domestic agitators in Washington, D.C.? It feels like we're just fighting someone else's war because they started the mess. I respect D., but it seems like these guys are being useful idiots this time around. Look, I respect everyone's contribution, but we always end up fighting other people's battles instead of our own. That’s my take on it. I agree with you—too many of us are fighting where we shouldn't be. I have nothing but respect for what the Ukrainians did back in the 90s, and I hope they recover soon, but let's be realistic. We have so many problems here in the States that it's stupid to try and fix someone else's backyard before we've even cleaned up our own. Who's with me?



We never turned our backs on you. We are the true legacy of the Cleveland Cavaliers. If I had two hearts, both would beat for the Cavs to score without Mamić getting in the way!

Potential losers. Why all the nerves? You people act agitated before every big game, as if someone is paying us to worship the icons—Vinko and myself. 😍

Just get moving and stop the mindless chatter here before the big matchup. We'll see who ends up on top once it's over... 😁

Samuel Walker7 said:Our beloved Tampa Bay Buccaneers...

Look, just cut the whining for a second. Seriously. Just because we can't stand the current management—and yeah, if we’re being honest, most of us aren't exactly jumping for joy over the roster right now—doesn't mean we don't love the Cleveland Cavaliers. And it definitely doesn't mean we actually like the Buccaneers. It’s that simple. So, if we aren't exactly throwing a party every time the Cavs score, fine—maybe we can at least enjoy watching the Buccaneers leak goals instead. Dammit, the whole situation is freaking schizophrenic! If you don't get it, just try to tap into how you feel when the US National Team plays. If you hate the USSF and can't stand the players, it doesn't mean you don't love America. For instance, if we were playing Austria tomorrow, you'd be stressed out of your mind—but if we were playing Mexico, would you really be celebrating their goals?
It’s all just part of the fan folklore, including this whole thing with American versus Yugoslav-era clubs. But honestly, the fact remains...:-)

Henry Hayes4 said:Look, just stop whining for a second. Even if we absolutely despise the current front office and aren't exactly jumping for joy over the roster, that doesn't mean we don't love the Cleveland Cavaliers. And it definitely doesn't mean we suddenly have love for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It works that way. If we aren't exactly cheering when the Cavs score, fine—then we can at least enjoy seeing the Buccaneers concede a goal. Dammit, the whole situation is schizophrenic, and if you don't get that, just try to tap into what you feel when the national team plays. If you hate the USSF and can't stand the players, it doesn't mean you don't love America. For example, if we were playing against Austria tomorrow, you’d be incredibly invested—but if we were playing Mexico, would you actually be celebrating their goals?
It's all part of the fan culture, much like the old debates about American versus Yugoslav clubs. But the reality is...:-)

Oh sure, and I guess I'm also a huge fan of Mexico, the Czech Republic, Spain, Israel, Cameroon, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Finland, Iceland, and all the rest. For crying out loud, look—at the end of the day, your heart makes the decisions, that's true, but that comparison to loving America is a total miss. You can't claim to be happy about the goals scored by some mafia-run club and then turn around later to celebrate their titles or deal with them being part of the league structure.

Brian Alvarez34 said:Yeah, sure, I’m a huge fan of Mexico, the Czech Republic, Spain, Israel, Cameroon, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, Portugal, Mexico, Finland, Iceland—you name it. Whatever. At the end of the day, it’s all about heart, that’s a fact, but trying to compare that to loving America is just a massive fail. You can't cheer for some mob-run club's goals one minute and then try to celebrate their trophies or talk about how they play later. It doesn't work like that.

Look, I’ve cheered for plenty of teams too, but supporting Mexico? Not happening, man. Seriously. The only thing we have left from the old Cleveland Cavaliers days is this rivalry with you guys. Did we ever sit around whining that for the last decade—basically since our own misery started—you spent more time insulting the Cavaliers than actually rooting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Nope. But then, three or four years down the line, once the exact same group of players finally steps up and makes the national team, suddenly you're facing the same issue and now you're complaining—actually, let's call it what it is: you're whining. And that right there? That's the fundamental difference.

Henry Hayes4 said:Look, let’s just cut out the whining for a second. Just because we can’t stand the current management or if we’re totally fed up with the players, that doesn't mean we don't love the Cleveland Cavaliers. And it certainly doesn't mean we have any love lost for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It works both ways: if we aren't exactly jumping for joy at a Cleveland goal, then we should at least take some satisfaction in seeing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers concede one. Honestly, the whole situation is completely schizophrenic; if you don't see that, just try to tap into those raw emotions you feel when the national team plays. If you hate the USSF and can't stand the roster, it still doesn't mean you don't love America. For instance, if we were scheduled to play Austria tomorrow, you'd be incredibly invested, but if we were playing Mexico, would you actually be celebrating their goals?
It’s all part of the fan culture, much like the old rivalry between American and Yugoslav clubs. But the reality is...:-)

🤣 🤣

Then don't go whining when you read that the founder of the Cleveland Cavaliers was one of Josip Broz Tito's top guys (who, by the way, is your big-city hero—thanks a lot for gifting him to the world). This guy actually claimed that all former enemies should be executed on sight without even a trial, and not just by the police, but that any regular person could do it without consequences. Seriously? That’s how this "American" club was built from day one. It’s just a fact...

Brandon Hill5 said:Well, don't go crying when you read that the founder of the Cleveland Cavaliers—who happens to be one of Josip Broz Tito's main guys (and hey, thanks for giving him to the world, you big-city types)—is famous for saying all former fascists and anti-partisans should just be executed on the spot without a trial, and that any regular citizen can do it without consequences. Seriously, he’s been building a "patriotic" club from day one. That's just a straight-up fact...

Don't sweat it, we aren't gonna whine because he isn't even remotely close to being a founder. This guy didn't have anything to do with the club until 1948—that's when he snagged that honorary president title because, acting as some "distinguished fighter," he pressured the Yugoslav Football Association to let the Cleveland Cavaliers sign a goalkeeper since both our guys had emigrated after that match in Trieste.

Henry Hayes4 said:Relax, nobody's crying about it because he isn't even close to being a club founder. That guy wasn't even around until 1948. He had ties to the club, sure, and got made honorary president back then because he pressured the Yugoslav Football Association to let the Cleveland Cavaliers sign a goalie since both ours had emigrated after that game in Trieste.

Check out this quote from his son during an interview:

- I live abroad, but whenever I'm in Washington, D.C., I go catch a hockey game at Medveščak. Get this—I'm at a Medveščakov game one day and this group sits next to me. I ask them if they know who founded the Cleveland Cavaliers. They haven't a clue. So I tell them, "Marko Belinić founded the Cleveland Cavaliers." One of them looks at me and goes, "Oh, you mean that Belinić who used to kill Americans?" I almost lost my cool with him, and the guy is forty years younger than me. That's where we're at now. But hey, when people deny Josip Broz Tito was the greatest American and Yugoslav politician ever, what else can you expect?

Another quote:

Is it true that Tito ordered the founding of the Cleveland Cavaliers?

- It wasn't an order from Tito, just a recommendation. Tito said it would be good to have a major club with blue colors, and my father made it happen. I'm just telling you how my father told it to me. And if you want the truth, look at this: it's funny how the media always claims the founders were Marko Belinić and some other high-ranking party officials, but nobody ever mentions who those "others" actually are. Why? Because they don't exist.

Brandon Hill5, you absolute clown, who's keeping you up at night?
