RE: At-onement & Good, Ordinary People

Being a hooligan is often a political stance. Take the Glasgow clubs and the infamous Celtic vs. Rangers rivalry. Celtic represents Irish and Catholic identity, while Rangers aligns with Protestantism and Scottish identity. The matches were often way more about these values than about the goals, especially for the crowds.

Here in Prague, Bohemians' ultras are known to be leftists, chanting "we smoke weed" rather than shouting anything about sucking things. And their clashes with far-right Sparta hools are (or perhaps used to be, I haven't followed it much lately) even rougher than those between Slavia and Sparta fans, the two oldest and most supported clubs in the country.
