Just so we are all clear, it looks like we probably blew this one too, much like the Rujević match.

Just stating the fact that we likely botched this one too.

Definitely, and look at the price tag for that cage.$23 😲
The hardcore fans stay silent because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.

Who on earth is actually defending the idea of buying tickets early?
Why would anyone just give up before they even start?
Is it really better to show up to the stadium without a ticket and then act all surprised when you can't get through the gates?

The finances for last year have been released for those Bad Boys...

It appears that donation expenses have seen a significant increase, while telephone service costs have dropped quite substantially; nevertheless, they are still operating at a deficit. 😉

It looks like donation expenses shot up while phone service costs dropped significantly, yet they’re still running at a loss😉

Membership dues revenue
—which implies they have exactly 93 members...$1860 Hmm...

Hmmm...

That was back in 2014.

It’s pretty wild how that mysterious humanitarian suddenly saw his revenue and donations spike all the way up to a million and $104 in 2015. I mean, it's almost impressive how he "prophetically" called it—predicting that costs for utilities and energy would nearly double, while office supplies and other material expenses would skyrocket by 20 times, depreciation by 4 times, and so on. Life just gets expensive, I guess, even if you're running a fan club.

It’s honestly mind-blowing that not a single journalist finds this interesting. We're talking about millions of dollars being funneled to a handful of lowlifes, yet they'd rather obsess over some slap at a futsal game. To all the spineless reporters out there that you follow: get it together.

Why are you still calling ad sales reps "journalists"?

And man, when the media actually sides with the fans... like, back in the day, maybe a site like Huffington Post would go after Madoff just because the Democratic Party hated him. If the Democrats weren't against Madoff, that site wouldn't be against him either. It's all just their mouthpiece. Everything is politics, and politics is a dirty business.

The slap at the futsal game was a mistake, sure, but it's funny how the people who aren't politically compliant—which, in this case, is just the fans—are always the ones forced to apologize. Meanwhile, others get a free pass and don't have to worry about any fallout from what they do. There's always this double standard. Sadly, when it comes to fans, I don't think they'll ever be treated equal to anyone else under the law or in the eyes of the public. That's just the way it is, and I guess you just have to deal with it.

Chris Baker said:The media only sided with the fans because they're against Madoff, and since the Democratic Party is against Madoff, they're against him too. If the Democratic Party wasn't after his head, those outlets wouldn't be either. It's all just politics, and politics is a dirty game.

That slap at the futsal match was a mistake, sure, but look how it always works: the guys who aren't political pawns—the fans in this case—are the ones forced to apologize constantly. Meanwhile, other people get away with basically anything without fearing sanctions. It’s always double standards. Honestly, when it comes to fans, I don't think they'll ever be treated equal to any other citizens under the law. That's just the way it is. Deal with it.

The Democratic Party is against Madoff? What kind of delusional kid are you?

Chris Baker said:The media only sides with the fans because they have an agenda. For example, outlets like CNN are only against Madoff because the Democratic Party is against him. If the Democrats weren't against him, those outlets wouldn't be either. It’s all just politics, and politics is a dirty business.

That slap at the futsal game was a mistake, sure. But it’s interesting how the people who aren't political pawns—the fans, in this case—are always the ones forced to apologize. Meanwhile, others get away with almost anything without fearing any repercussions... There’s always a double standard. Unfortunately, when it comes to the fans, I don't think they'll ever be treated equally under the law or by the public. That's just the reality we have to live with...

So, is Otter claiming the Democratic Party is against Madoff? Get real, kid...

Chris Baker said:And when exactly were those journalists ever actually on the fans' side? For instance, look at a site like TMZ—they're only against the owner just because the Democratic Party is against him. If the Democratic Party weren't fighting him, TMZ wouldn't even bother covering it. It’s their mouthpiece. It’s all just politics, and politics is a dirty business.

The slap during the futsal match was an oversight, sure, but it’s fascinating how it always works this way: the people who aren't political puppets—which, in this specific scenario, are the fans—are the ones forced to issue special apologies. Meanwhile, certain other folks get a free pass and don't have to fear any sanctions for what they do. There's always this double standard at play. Unfortunately, when it comes to the fans, I don't think they'll ever be treated as equals to other citizens before the law or the public eye. It is simply what it is, and one just has to learn to live with it.

Saying they're against the owner just because of the Democratic Party? Come on, don't lie to me, kid...
