Holy cow I can’t believe what I’m reading about fascism here… it’s NOT a left wing thing AT ALL. That canard’s an all too common myth in ‘Merkuh but it’s utterly false. Ask a guy over the sound from Laurie, Dave Neiwert, an expert on the subject, even wrote a couple of excellent books. http://dneiwert.blogspot.com

The big fascist phenom we have in CA are the Minutemen and the morons at vdare, but they don’t watch soccer/football (RWA’s call it “commie-ball”), they do grid-iron.

Those fascists are gonna be in a for a little surprise when a lot of Guatemalans show up to games now that we have Ruiz again.

Nathan, I somehow knew that this sordid affair had your name written all over it.

Frank, I did wonder if this was an offshoot of that post-game fracas last year — a bit of “must’ve been the fascists” overreaction.

Well, there was a tangle at one of the Galaxy/Chivas matches last year where, apparently, racist chants were thrown back and forth between a very small group of supporters for both sides. Don’t know how much truth there is to this story, but I remember reading about it on one of the blogs shortly thereafter.

Sorry for all the confusion about the “fascists”. That’s just me and my 10 closest leather daddies out for our soccer fix.

But now that you bring it up, I’m thinking a lot of delicious thoughts about peaked caps and leather jodhpurs… I gotta call my boys, I think we have a theme for the next orgy,er, I mean, gathering.

It’s alright Laurie, it seems all my comments on the offside seem to get put in the spam bin until a mod gets them back for some reason. Thanks for all your help in this subject as well!

Another oops if that was a spoiler, I’ll be watching tonight too. My post was more biz related and I fortunately omitted a score (along with spelling and grammar) .

Thanks, Diane. I am intentionally NOT reading ANYTHING abou the game until I see it tonight. But yours will be the first thing I look at afterwards.

I’ve gathered from various history/hooligan discussions that there have been some fascists/skin-head people who decide to take up MLS soccer because thats what the skin-heads in Europe do. I think I saw that one of the notable female skin-heads was a DC fan and lead a small group until they managed to get booed decisively by real fans & Salvadorans and got bored. There was also a group in the Meadowlands that security/boredom managed to hassle out of the stadium (granted, a large number of non-fascist Metro fans also claim to have been hassled by the same factors). In short to deal with them fans and security should make it clear that they are not welcome or appreciated whenever they show themselves.

Next if this is holding even a shred of truth– that they don;t just get together during a game. Would the “fascist” not want to beat crap out of whomever they disagree with(this presupposes the common connotation of skinhead, violent thug type)? Then after that there would be a small leap to the whole firms, gang etc?

I shudder to that spreading all the way through the league

my two cents
