re: The gay pride flags are brutal

At least it wasn’t a Panamanian flag. Seems like a step in the right direction.

Well there are all sorts of clubs that have different political alignments. Spain is full of these alignments, some with independence movements, and others with what amounts to royalist movements. Here's a good link about Franco, Real Madrid, and Barcelona. LINK
That clubs everywhere save for the US and Canada are (or were, at least) organic outgrowths of cities (or communities) means that clubs became closely linked with the groups that founded them. Since any group that wanted a sporting club could form one, politics became intertwined and there was no separation of sports and politics. You can have clubs for railway workers, police forces, factory workers, fascist clubs, communist clubs, expatriates and everything in between. That there isn't a franchise system to speak of aids in the mix of politics and sport.

not reprint the American flag in order to do that.
I'm genuinely curious of your thoughts of the Blue Line American flag people fly at their homes and on their cars to support law enforcement. Does that offend you as well, or is this a choose your anger thing?

I'm angry at neither.
I said that it's a needless affront. They MAY not be intentionally insulting people, but they certainly know and probably relish the idea that they are insulting and offending people.
Do you disagree?
As for the other flags you mentioned, I'm not familiar, but I wouldn't fly them. A key difference would be that, prior to BLM, I don't believe a flyer of that flag would have believed that anyone would be very insulted by it.

Very much so. I don't know how it would be insulting, and while I can see where it may offend people, that's certainly not their goal. There's plenty of other ways they could offend if they wanted to

ETA: I'm not trolling. I'm not much of an MLB fan except for it's history and the way it intermingled in the lives of Americans from 1846 until about 1970.
Ok, well I can offer this: Millwall is traditionally associated with the Docklands area of London or Bermondsey/Isle of Dogs (think Jack the Ripper) and their supporters were dock workers or merchant seaman. Traditionally on the lower rungs of the highly class conscious British society. Millwall, over years of social denigration, being forced to change grounds due to encroaching gentrification developed a massive chip on their shoulders to the extent that to day they are considered the hooligan's hooligans.The man who attacked the Isis terrorists during the London Bridge attack yelled "F%$K you I'm Millwall," the threw himself at them.
Their fiercest rivals (though they rarely play anymore) are the only team close to Millwall on the London social scale, Westham.

Hopefully within 10 years or so you won't have to be basically be an Antifa supporter to go to MLS or USMNT matches
Give it time, we'll frat soccer up in America

If you find neck beards and naive liberalism interesting, yes, much less interesting

If you think a bunch of frat stars in the south and rough necks up north will make MLS atmosphere better
Can’t wait for the defense chants
These are the same people who call soccer gay, tell us offside is stupid and always want to change the rules.

They'll come around
Plus a little influence from other sports is welcome, considering the average MLS fan lists "Magic the Gathering" as their second favorite competitive endeavor.

SEC football fans and the top supporters groups in MLS have a lot more in common than they think they do.
I have a dream that one day you can go to a MLS game and find a frat star in his (insert team here) polo, 6 inch in-seam khaki shorts, and Sperries, sitting next to a Bernie Bro with his thick rimmed glasses and neck beard, both in perfect harmony.

Of course the passion
But those one set of fans will have to adapt the already established fan culture. Especially from clubs that have been around from the start. The difference is MLS fan culture is all inclusive when frat star college football isn’t.
We we’re very selective about our fraternity tailgates, as are others.
