Karol Michalak wrote that for the past three years he has been fighting against the discrimination of Wisła Kraków fans. He claimed that he sent hundreds of letters to police departments, mayors, and presidents, corresponded with the Commissioner for Human Rights, UOKiK, and international organizations, and also prepared a 40-page study on the impact of boycotts on competition. He described that clubs from all over Poland treated him as a person of lower status, and he himself was insulted and humiliated. He wrote that despite this, he did not give up on his efforts to be able to watch matches. However, he added that the post and the approach of its author discouraged him from football.

Michalak also wrote that Legia should not give up and should seek documents that would prevent people from watching football.
