How do we know that they're conservative?

Whoever they are, they are offended by someone publicly professing that nazis are bad.

If they are going to censor antifascist and anticommunist advocates but let stormtroopers be rowdy in the stands, I hope the ADL gets involved. It would be interesting if a professional athletic association gets labeled a hate group by the SPLC. It would be ridiculous and it doesn’t work and yet would still make more sense than labeling anti-fascists terrorists.

Nothing is cringier than US football fan culture.

to be fair, we are new at this.  We don't have the century of racism, classism and general violent thuggery behavior that leads to beating each other to death that you and the continentals have, maybe we'll get there.


cringy indeed

What do you call the Antebellum and Gilded Age? We did an amazing job papering it over between the Great Depression, the New Deal, the Great Society, and the Civil Rights movement but after we declared "victory" over racism and sexism 50 years ago, it's been making a slow and steady comeback ever since. At least we are not casually tossing around the n-word in public yet.
