American fan culture seems incredibly tame. You just consume product, buy the merchandise, get drunk, do what you're told and that's that. In the rest of the world fans take things much more seriously. They're rioting, brawling and stabbing eachother. They fight the other firms, the police and club management. American sports teams are traded among oligarchs like collectables and moved around the country. Nobody would be able to move Millwall FC.
Are football fans sometimes problematic? Absolutely. But at least they're an authentic working class subculture that doesn't take it lying down every time oligarchs or politicians try to regulate them.
