George Alvarez13 said:Why don't you tell us where you've been hiding during these last five years—considering how many guest spots and years you claim to have—and we'll be more than happy to explain everything to you. Just tell us exactly how much of yourself you've actually put on the line over those five years. Maybe then we'll get somewhere.

So, did you kiss his ring or what?

I'm 41 years old, and I've gone to games even when I could barely walk. If what this person is saying is true, I honestly wish I could undo everything I've done in the last five years.

You've directed all that misplaced energy toward the wrong target. All I know is that I wouldn't share a meal with Nijaz or those scumbags if they were starving on the street, let alone invite them to the stands.

Just so we aren't constantly nitpicking everything—here’s a bit of praise. I swung by a gift shop today and asked the guy working there about some of those details from the news reports, and he walked me through the whole thing perfectly—even though I’m clearly not an expert in this field. Just wanted to give a shout-out to that most common piece of advice you see floating around here: "just go to the souvenir shop and ask," or "do you know where you can find out?" 😉

Look, everyone’s entitled to an opinion, but whether anyone actually cares what you think is a different story. I'm 35, and I've been going to games since I was 15. I've done about 10-12 away trips and a few hundred home games. I don't claim to be one of the Bad Boys; I'm just an LA Galaxy fan. But honestly, I'm not hitting the stadium again as long as Jerry Jones is calling the shots. Neither is anyone else in my circle. If people want to care about that, fine—if they don't, that's their business too.

It’s honestly disappointing how some people behave. For months, even years, there have been open invitations to come down to Fifth Avenue and speak your mind directly. You keep popping up here with these mindless comments instead of having the decency to show up in person and say what you actually believe where it matters most.
If we let ourselves be driven by nothing but spiteful comments like this one from the Bad Boys, then the whole movement could easily just fade away into nothingness.
I still seem to have this unfortunate habit of feeling the need to reply to everyone, though I truly hope the younger generation doesn't carry that same burden. You see people walking around wearing the group's gear or sporting bold tattoos—they all claim to have a story to tell, but it seems they only ever find their courage once they're sitting at a bar.

Drew Barnes4 said:I’d definitely show up for the march if there was an organized group walk... mostly because then I can squeeze myself right into the front lines with the main crew, which gives me a decent shot at actually spotting myself in some photos online later on.

If there isn't a group march, honestly, I'm just not going.

If anyone here happens to know those guys over on Fifth Avenue, could you please suggest they organize a march? It doesn't have to be a massive trek from the center all the way to the park if people aren't feeling like walking that much... we could just go from the Federal Reserve to the park instead. That way, we can stop right in front of the Federal Reserve to yell at the Governor and shout our slogans against the bankers and capitalism. Doing it that way might actually win us some sympathy from the general public, so we don't just come across as typical thugs, street punks, or outcasts. Plus, even if it's just from the Federal Reserve to the park, there's still a chance someone catches a photo of me right up front with the lead group.


1) If you're right in the front row, they'll probably just blur your face anyway
2) Pretty sure the Governor is at some summit this weekend, so he won't even hear us when we start shouting

You really gotta think ahead about stuff like that... stay sharp ☕

Drew Barnes4 said:Honestly, what else can one say? It’s quite simple... nobody truly believed there was even a glimmer of a chance that he would reconcile with those agents and end up sitting in the stands right alongside them. It is nothing short of pure corruption and betrayal, the absolute lowest form of conduct. I find their actions more reprehensible than any outside adversary, because there is simply no bottom to the depravity of domestic traitors. It hardly seems logical to suggest to the core group that they shouldn't make peace with the agents, primarily because everyone assumed the prevailing mindset made such a reconciliation fundamentally impossible.

Where are you even coming from with this? You have access to private messages here, and you have the association. If there is something you actually want to know, just ask. Right now, you're all spinning theories and making assumptions that are even more speculative than what you'd read in a tabloid.

Wait, are you guys seriously buying every single word these paid shills pump out on the news sites? Honestly, you people are such easy marks. 🤦

Fair point....I deleted my post. You should probably delete this one too. I was just heated in the moment, damn...

It’s always easier to talk big—it's basically the classic American herd mentality, unfortunately.

Karam’s just out here cheapening himself for anyone who'll listen—his mom, his wife, his sister... honestly, he’ll say anything just to get a reaction.

Look, can we all just chill until there's an official announcement? Leave the barroom gossip and the baseless rumors to Floki. 🍿

P.S. I’m skipping the march through Times Square. Last time I saw a bunch of hooligans lighting flares, my brand new shirt almost went up in smoke!

There is absolutely no reconciliation happening with the agents, nor will there ever be. It’s going to be exactly the same as before—those who have been disrespected will continue to be disrespected. The only real difference here is that a handful of people actually stepped up and took this level of responsibility and personal risk onto their own shoulders. To be honest, 99% of you wouldn't even do something like this for your own flesh and blood, let alone for a group where most decent people are just sitting around waiting to get screwed over.

You malicious, corrupt little rats should probably take a good look in the mirror before you start trashing everything and everyone. You need to ask yourselves: am I really the kind of person who has the credibility or the weight to pass judgment based on nothing but rumors?
And am I the reason this decision was made in the first place? Am I the one who left a hundred people—mostly young guys—to the mercy of those corporate machines, thugs, lowlifes, and other scavengers who can smell blood in the water? They can sense that you abandoned your brothers in the stands, leaving them to struggle through our shared mess all on their own.
So, once you've tallied everything up and subtracted the nonsense, when you've finally formed an actual opinion and feel the need to vent it somewhere—do it like a man, not like a coward.

It is shameful how few people feel they have the right to call others out based on inaccurate hearsay. You weren't part of the majority who were actually there when "your" guys were fighting through the trenches in Boise, Kansas City, Athens, Paris, or Kyiv... Because those are the places where the real battle was fought. It wasn't just fought in arenas, on social media, or in neighborhood bars. Stop being cowards.

Because when time eventually comes around again and proves that you all turned out to be spineless, and that you spent your time throwing mud at the very people who fell because of your actions, then it might finally be time for someone to throw some ashes in your faces.

Now we have an official statement to contend with. It’s perfectly fine if you don't want to support this under any circumstances, but let’s please skip the manufactured drama and those pathetic messages about "friends in the corner," because none of that is actually true.
The core identity of this group was essentially lost back at that last game at Wrigley Field; if it weren't for the various subgroups, there wouldn't even be a community left to speak of.
I realize many people will feel let down by this, but in a fundamental sense, none of us have truly felt the fallout from any of it. For the past few months, the situation has boiled down to a simple binary choice anyway. I’m sharing this as my own personal perspective—I have no intention of being condescending or acting as a mouthpiece for these decisions.

If the club ever actually manages to clean house and truly move past this era, the Dinamo fandom will find itself in a state similar to how an Arab nation might react if Israel were suddenly removed from the map.

You have the undeserving ultras fighting against those who don't deserve the title, everyone ganging up on the owner's loyalists, while simultaneously everyone joins forces to push away the casual supporters.

You’re probably just doing this to keep the group alive—survival mode, I suppose—but from a die-hard fan's perspective, this feels like an absolute self-inflicted wound... after all these years.

Fan chant, and my regards to everyone still out there fighting the good fight, even if it's like this...

Honestly, most of this sounds like the typical rhetoric you hear from people who haven't actually earned their stripes within the community.

To put it bluntly: anyone who actually wants what’s best for Dynamo and this group will step up. If you don't, then you don't. It's as simple as that. For those of you confused by the misinformation floating around, there’s a futsal match tomorrow—show up there and ask whatever questions you need answered. I don't mean to offend the casual fans, but let's be real: every key player and affiliate involved has had a hand in this entire situation. In short, everyone is invited to the table except for the ZM supporters. Honestly, the moderator might as well just shut the whole thing down at this point.
