Between community ownership of the Packers and pretty strong union support, Wisconsin does seem like a place ripe for radicalization. You could probably run Trotsky himself there, particularly if he was willing to take a soft-on-drunk-driving position. Shit's like the state sport there.

I have a friend who studies sociology of sports, and I'd love to see him deal with fascism and American football.
Instead he just, like, knows things about cricket. Which is not useful to me at all.
