It's fascinating to me that there are soccer clubs that also have, at least to their supporters, political identities. Apparently St. Pauli in Germany is historically associated with anti-fascism?

Could you imagine what it would be like if American sports franchises also came freighted with political identities? Two areas where we don't really practice any sort of restraint coming together in a frightful/hilarious mix.

Tampa Bay Rays are Maoist. In this scenario.
