      Sport is politics in Europe, at least. It’s important who you support because sports clubs are often tied to political movements.

      You don’t want to support Lazio, for instance, and Real Madrid was Franco’s club.

      Anyway, politics is also a sort of game as you say.

        Football hooliganism must be the endgame of “everything is political.” I see it as something to preferably be avoided personally.

        Not every European country. I’d wager it’s mostly Southern and Eastern Europe where that is the case.

          True, though there’s also FC St. Pauli (antifascist) vs Hansa Rostock (neonazi). Can’t think of anything from Denmark, off the top of my head, or the UK. Not much of a football fan tbh.
