They are terrified of change it’s like football’s own version of Stockholm syndrome. They’ve been conditioned to believe the old system is sacred, that this is just how it is. I don’t buy that. I see hope. But hope only matters if people have the courage to claim what’s theirs and take back the game

I spent years chasing meaning in a world full of noise. Then I built Football Is For The Fans and finally found what I was born to do.

They meme because they can’t match the mission. Football’s changing and they know who’s leading it.

You’ll see a few people throwing stones online. Happens when you threaten the system. We’re rebuilding football for the fans and the old guard don’t like it.

Humanity will win. It’s billions of people versus thousands of them and they know it. They’ve built walls of money and law to contain us, but they can’t stop what’s coming when the billions wake up.

Thanks Don, you might want to check the USPTO and TTAB before booking tickets.
The COSMOS trademarks are under active cancellation and subject to litigation in New York and the UK.

Everything I build under Football Is For The Fans will be given back to the fans.
Not sold to billionaires. Not traded in boardrooms. Given back to the people who built the game.

Don, they said the same thing about the Green Bay Packers. About AFC Wimbledon. About every rebellion that threatened a monopoly. We’ve got fans, heritage, and fire. They’ve got debt and PR. Watch what happens next.

When we win the trademarks, we’ll do what the old system never had the guts to do let women play for our teams.
Our rules will be built for inclusion, not exclusion.
For fans, not corporations.
For football that’s actually worth watching.

A fully fan-owned NASL legacy club would be bigger than anything America’s ever seen in football.
The secret isn’t hype it’s ownership.
And the real power? Always in the trademarks. That’s the castle wall.
An industry built by the people, for the people would blow the system wide open.

90% of USL players would not get a game in the national league.

Rocco is a trademark squatter hiding behind lawyers and nostalgia. When have Cosmos or NASL last ever played a single game? Exactly.

Dentons played their usual game: rig the system so I couldn’t defend myself without surrendering my rights. Now it’s in the Second Circuit, and I’m confident they’ll overturn this sham. You can delay the truth, but you can’t bury it.

They hit me with a PI in mid September. With no service, no fair fight and set a $5K bond like that makes it justice. We already raised $14K before they shut the crowdfunding down.

3.5 years.
That’s how long the USPTO has sat on my trademark applications no action, no review, no explanation.
You can’t build a business without protection. And I will find out in SDNY who’s behind the delay.
Because someone is.
Truth always leaves fingerprints.

No paid ads. No corporate PR machine. Just truth, rebellion, and football with a soul.
When you speak for the fans, not at them, people listen.

What’s happening in Palestine is disgusting not politics, not sides, just human suffering on repeat.
No excuse for silence, no justification for killing children.
If your compassion has conditions, you’ve lost it.

Anyone flying to Davos to sip champagne with billionaires and then coming home to lecture us about politics should be questioned, not celebrated.

Mediacom’s gone silent.
Two months since I filed the federal lawsuit in SDNY no response, no defence.
When billionaires hide instead of stand, that tells you everything.

I don’t respond to lies. I build things that last. While others throw insults online, I’m fighting for fans, fairness, and football’s soul. The truth always wins in the end.
