i suppose it comes down to definition.. and yes your points about social programs , etc.. valid.. but they , the programs you enumerated are based/funded by capitialism
my point is that compared to "breaking the law" trying to attend a football game or looting and throwing frozen water bottles at the police should be enforced equally!arresting a friggin guy wanting to watch a football game ? maybe a warning??
the operative phrase is "law abiding" .. "score some sneakers" from looting.. i grew up in south buffalo , may not be as "smart" as you What is your point?
JMHO.. aspects of the behavior of the players before the game could be deemed "political" and if people are p-d off about it , it is there right to be..
