Okay here goes my own personal experience with AA & LV.
First of all, I want to say I havenât talked to anyone about what Iâm about to post

First of all, I want to say I havenât talked to anyone about what Iâm about to post
If yalls names comes up, Iâm sorry
In August 2018, Derek reached out to me to join AA... they were trying to reach out to the
Latinx community. I was asked to help run their social media in Spanish. At first I was also helping with a few translations here and there. I was so excited to join a âporraâ that was supporting Austin FC. AA always liked to mention that they were the first official supporters
group for the team & since Iâm a huge soccer fan I was like âyep, this is where I belongâ. Since AA was the only supporters group at the time, we got special invites to different Austin FC events. I was always bragging about going to events & tried to recruit more people to join
AA. I failed multiple times. I think the only person I recruited was my brother 
because everyone else thought the name didnât sound right 
as time went by, I felt like no one ever listened to what I had to say. I stopped trying to recruit people. We were supposed to organize
because everyone else thought the name didnât sound right as time went by, I felt like no one ever listened to what I had to say. I stopped trying to recruit people. We were supposed to organize
events to recruit more ârazaâ & that never happened because their leadership team never helped to do so. Itâs like they wanted the Latin/Hispanic members to organize the event in the name of AA. The only 2 times that we did something to recruit more raza, no one from their
leadership showed up. No one. In my time at AA, I talked to their leadership members about 1-2 times in person. They would never come up to me to say hi. Same thing happened to my brother when he showed up to events. I usually sat as far away from most people because I didnât
feel so comfortable being around some AA members back then. If anything, I usually talked to Derek, Katie, Jorge, Gabby & the Torres brothers. I turned off my notifications from AAâs Slack around March of 2020 & focused on school. I knew nothing about AA unless I saw their social
media posting things. In the middle of May, I received a message from an ex AA member asking me if Iâd seen what happened with AA & if I was interested in joining another supporters group. I went to AAâs Slack & read messages in which people were officially
resigning from their positions within AA. I was shocked 
Iâm not even going to go into detail about what some of those messages said. But people were not even mad, they were more disappointed that their opinions never mattered.

THAT was exactly how I felt. I left the AAâs Slack app & joined the new supporters group (Now known as Los Verdes).
This is where a lot of things get interesting. The new supporters group voted on what they were going to be called: âLos Verdesâ. They also voted on what merch
This is where a lot of things get interesting. The new supporters group voted on what they were going to be called: âLos Verdesâ. They also voted on what merch
was going to be included in the membership kit. They voted on who was going to be part of their leadership team âStarting XIâ.
I felt welcomed right away. Everyone was so friendly to each other & everyone made sure that our voices were heard.
La Murga de Austin also decided to
I felt welcomed right away. Everyone was so friendly to each other & everyone made sure that our voices were heard.
La Murga de Austin also decided to
be independent of ANY supporters group but AA thought they wanted to get away from them because most of the murga members were now LV members. Murga asked to buy the drums that were âownedâ by AA & AA said no because they were petty that most of their members were leaving to LV
LV had an event in the stadium parking lot & murga members showed up with the drums & AA said they were gonna sue them if they didnât have the drums back by a specific date. Mind you, those drums were bought in the name of AA but mainly due to the effort of Murga members 
as
as
of today, I think the drums are still in the hands of AA because they donât want Murga to have them. I think they only use them to take pictures
Luckily, Murga was able to buy more drums & theyâre stronger than ever!
After LV was created, some AA members stopped following

After LV was created, some AA members stopped following
me & other LV members on social media... I believe that was out of pettiness 
A lot of us have tried to be in good terms with AA, but they keep trying to make it seem like thereâs some kind of rivalry between both SGs. Murga members edited a picture of an AA scarf & replaced

the letters with âMurga de Austinâ & AA got mad because apparently thatâs weak photoshop & it wasnât right to do so. Now they posted a picture of a group of people (most of them now LV members) on their website to promote membership when asked to remove the picture, they
when asked to remove the picture, they
said they wonât remove it unless Murga removes theirs too
Last week, there was some drama on Twitter between LV & AA members
& one of their main people said that they couldnât let the inmates run the asylum, meaning leadership is the one making all the decisions

even get close to everyone else 
They have said that Austin FC prohibited them from using verde as part of AA colors, but Iâve never seen anything on paper or some kind of contract explicitly saying so. LV never had an issue using verde for their merch

Last, I want to say I have nothing against AA. But I am TIRED of a lot of LV members trying to make peace with them with no success. I love my club, I really do, and the stupid pettiness shown by most AA is just getting on my nerves. Weâre all gonna be sitting together in the
same stadium, wearing the same jersey, singing songs played by murga (unless yâall have yâalls own songs) 
ya mejor den el brazo a torcer 
Some AA members are still cool AF, but some others need to stop thinking about their brand... a membership for $100?
I know they

I know they
have more memberships but that one just blew my mind...
If anyone is trying to join a SG, choose whichever you want, but letâs just be in peace from now going forward... 2021 is around the corner & I donât want anyone to be rolling their eyes at me at the stadium
XOXO
