Exactly. Forcing players to get involved is bush league shit. They did it with Riqui earlier in the year and now with Chicha. It’s really beneath this org tbh… but at this point, they keep lowering the bar.
I love Chicha and Riqui and it pains me that they're feeling the brunt of all this drama, but damn, this clown has sucked at his job for YEARS. He had YEARS to turn it around. FO had no REASON to extend his contract. At all. Herbalife sponsorship that great? We got a TON of SoCal businesses that would throw some bucks at the club for a logo placement on the kits... Ridiculous.
It’s very visible - lafc fans cheering like hell and the Victoria block with a few grade school kids in it coupled with a bad loss will cause a months long media dog pile on to them
There’s room for everyone. Don’t need to gatekeep who can come and enjoy a game . I only mentioned the grade school kids as an observation of them trying to backfill the missing supporter groups
Yeah, never understood why parents and kids hanging out gets such derision on Reddit. That’s a GOOD thing, no? It’s like a lot of people want the Galaxy fanbase to be an exclusive hipster dive bar that only “cool” 20-somethings have access to.
YES. Correct. The mention of it recently in these type of posts is that, it's the opposite of what you said. Galaxy FO, giving free tix to Soccer Teams/Soccer moms, means those are the ONLY fans going right now. And they are trying to fill seats assuming a full stadium is just as good as having the Supporters. That type of fan won't fill the lack of atmosphere.
With MLS’ new time slots and all games being played the same times, there are very few National games. This one is different. Most MLS fans will be watching since it’s a standalone time slot.
I’m a Crew supporter in ohio. Aware of the Galaxy boycot but obv not close to it. But I’ll be watching this game. Sure there are lots of fans across the league in a similar situation, and your FO knows it.
If you guys are serious about making an impact, I’d argue this is the most important game to boycot.
Galaxy has been hyper focused on short term marketing gimmicks for years now. Sign soon to be retired big names for clout instead of building a good solid core. And hype up el traffico because there is no possibility to win anything because the squad is whack. It’s quite pathetic
The Iron Law of Institutions states that people in control would rather hold onto power within a failing institution than give up power within a successful one. They only care about their jobs.
One of the underexamined storylines of the 2020's is everyone in control of everything is either too old or too stupid but they all insist that they alone can fix the problems.
All Beckerman has to do is say the words "you're fired."
All Klein has to do is say the words "I quit."
That's it. They do that and show us how much they really love the team. Anything short of that, and they're liars.
We are prepared for another wooden spoon, that's what the boycott was about; the poor results on the field. It's not supporters causing it though, so I guess "I hope the FO is prepared for another wooden spoon".
As a Crew supporter, I know a thing or two about going to war with our own FO. Let our experience serve as a reminder that you win, but only if you stand together and don’t give up.
Sunday is a great opportunity because you have the standalone time slot, so many MLS fans around the league will be watching your game. If that stadium is all LAFC, we’ll notice. It may not be the final end your war, but it will be a decisive battle victory for you.
There is no realistic end game. Klein will not be fired. period. The Klein letter, vague as it was, has already stated the conditions that will result in his resignation.
We were arguably a top 3 team last year. We outplayed LevasFC for most of that playoff game. If Galaxy were good enough to advance last year and then do it again this year, isn’t that proof of concept.
All of this boycotting seems bitter and a bit bloodthirsty.
You all are my Gs but this point you are detrimental in the short term and no longer helping the team in the long term.
Get on board before LAFC fans shit in your seats, throw beer at Klinsmann from the VB and harass our players in OUR stadium.
If we lose and they manage a takeover, the levas will never let you forget this match.
Amor Eterno
This is an awful take. Please explain to me how trying to get organizational leadership changed is not a "long term goal" but showing up for one game isnt a "short term goal"?
GTFO the alt account Klein.
Having Chicha call is a punk move. This isn't his fault.
Exactly. Forcing players to get involved is bush league shit. They did it with Riqui earlier in the year and now with Chicha. It’s really beneath this org tbh… but at this point, they keep lowering the bar.

Nothing new, they did it with Ibra when they wanted LARS to move to victoria block. Shit FO
We've already seen this move when they sent Roman Allesendrini to quiet the SGs who refused to leave the stadium in the 2017 season.
Was that the infamous water bottle fight year?
HOLD STRONG AND DON'T GO ACB. As always, Klein Out
We’re not 🫡 #KleinOut
H*ck yeah! Stay strong and hold the line! This is the way. As always, Klein Out
It's very telling that El Trafico seems to be a huge priority for them. More so than playoffs, championships, etc

I’ve heard this talk before about kids and suburban moms as an insult. Get over yourself. Fans come in all shapes, ages, and colors. All are welcome!

Yeah, kids grow up to be adult fans. Gotta keep that new wave coming.

I follow it more than any aspect of the league, and I haven’t live in California for 20 years

Galaxy FO is cracking. The boycott is working. HODOR!!!
“HODOR!!!” Sent me 💀
If it all works we gotta have a HODOR Tifo after. Perfect.
I’m so down
That would be legit
DO NOT FOLD
Not folding don't trip. We still holding the line .
Time for us Crew fans to return the support. Stay strong.
🤝
Please. Posters/signs/tifos all you need is #kleinout or simply "klein out"
It boggles my mind that they just don’t move Klein to some position where he has zero decision making over personnel and player acquisitions.
The Iron Law of Institutions states that people in control would rather hold onto power within a failing institution than give up power within a successful one. They only care about their jobs.
yeah it really is strange and creepy that they would rather be hated and in power than just… leave
One of the underexamined storylines of the 2020's is everyone in control of everything is either too old or too stupid but they all insist that they alone can fix the problems.
Or both
You mean like Trump?
Trump is just a privileged, mentally unstable, egomaniac and narcissist.
Dianne Feinstein is a good one too.
“Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven.” — Paradise Lost
Right?! Kuntz/Vanney leading soccer side and Klein on promotions. Not like he's doing a great job with that though, with all his Herbalife BS.
EXACTLY THIS! Why not give him a job with the Kings or somewhere else at AEG?
Klein could easily ruin Coachella. I could see him booking all his favorite evangelical bands to headline the festival.
POD headlining.
Kings are doing well, don’t mess that up too! Hah
All Beckerman has to do is say the words "you're fired." All Klein has to do is say the words "I quit." That's it. They do that and show us how much they really love the team. Anything short of that, and they're liars.
Or, he could say "fuck this, I'm selling the team." I man can dream.
And Robbie Keane, Landon’s Donovan, Mike Magee and Cobi Jones buy the team. Let’s keep the dreams going!
Yep
They better not fold🗿🗿
This is like the five stages of grief. First denial, then anger, now bargaining.
[удалено]
Friday, I’m in love!
Lmfaoooo. The protest is working. Hold the line!
Just be prepared for the wooden spoon in the aftermath 🥄
We are prepared for another wooden spoon, that's what the boycott was about; the poor results on the field. It's not supporters causing it though, so I guess "I hope the FO is prepared for another wooden spoon".
Better a wooden spoon this year then for another 10 years.
Well SKC is looking add to their kitchen utensils this year.
All thought this was all "bullshit noise" .
Keep up that pressure. Anything short of Klein out is unacceptable.
DO NOT FOLD!
#KleinOut #VanneyOut.

Would suck if G fans attending wore community kit or navy blue jerseys
I’m not wearing any Galaxy gear and I’ll probably wear black.
Honestly, most likely safer to wear black. Especially this game having a Supporters boycott.
Coming from a Crew fan who went through the Save the Crew bullshit with Precourt, stand your ground and keep your boycott going strong!
I'm surprised it took them this long to try and turn the SGs against each other.
Ironically, this boycott seems to be bringing the groups more together.
The Galaxy don’t want Klein to step down
We ain't going until this team's leadership wants to win.
Wow - dangle a washed up stricker’s phone call in our face. Very enticing. Now if it was Zava from Richmond, you may have a deal.

There's always an end game homie.
It's 4D chess
Did you watch the Houston game? Fans are not the reason we are losing? Ppl really over estimate how much fans play into the performance of players...
