      @@Santos043 Neo-Nazism in Poland existed in the 1990s and stemmed from sheer ignorance of what it really was. Nowadays it is such a small margin that, in order to exaggerate the problem, one Polish left-wing TV station itself organised a festival of neo-Nazi music. In a documentary it produced, it had to employ actors pretending to be neo-Nazis. It is now common knowledge that Nazism is straightforwardly linked to international socialism and communism. The political programme of the famous Austrian watercolourist described in his book is a model for the ideological basis of the European Union. If skinhead organisations in Poland are already radicalising, they are doing so against communism and precisely Nazism. The bigger problem in Poland is Antifa, which is eating its own tail. The way Antifa operates is pure fascism and Nazism. The communists and international socialists do not like Polish patriotism. Their ideal is a Europe without states and nations. That is why the problem of Nazism in Poland is currently being exaggerated, when in fact it does not exist. Coming back to the Celtic crosses, they are used by football fans, but they are not really indicative of neo-Nazism. It is just fan folklore of people who don't like both communism and international socialism equal to Nazism. Political ideas nowadays have been so falsified that simple people unfamiliar with the subject are very easily manipulated.

    Regarding your question to Poland and the banner with the child & Nazi - a bit of II World War history - in August 1944 there was an uprising against Nazis in Warsaw - the capitol of Poland. During 63 day of fighting 45 ths of resistance underground slodiers were fightig out of which 16 ths died and another 15 ths were captured. In addition to this over 200.000 civilians were murdered by Nazis. Amongst this a couple of thousands were kids. This banner is telling about that fact.

I'm an A-c Milan Fan, my father was, my Grandfather was, all my Family is, AC Milan exist since 1899 - and Milan is my City, and Italy is my country, and AC going arround the world playing, is rappresenting my City and my Country, that's why, we support them always and everywhere and in any condition. you should read the chants of the Napoly fans, that's what they are saying in the chants " We are alsways here, to defend our City"

      @@Maximus439 No. There is a reason Football is the biggest sport on the planet. In Europe, Asia, Africa and South America it is close to a religious cult at times. In the 90s and 00s when teams that were historical rivals clashed in a match fans of said teams would take it to the streets to riot and fight. People dies on daily basis after football matches. This has of course been toned down bu governments over the last 20 years. But it still occasionally happens. And its not just one country, That happened in UK (famously cut short by Margaret Thatcher) in Poland, Germany, France, Spain, Russia, Italy, Serbia, Croatia, Turkey, Marocco, Egypt, Sweden, Brasil, Argentina, Chile and many more. Its because for a football fan, their team doesn't just represent themselves or the players. It represent the cities hondred or thousands of years of history (Especially in Places like London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Athens, Moscow, Madrit, Rome), it also represents the people of that region, their distinct culture and heritage and when the team plays a international tournament their country. Why is that the case? Because teams here have HISTORY and not just 50-70 years of history 100-200 years of history. The average age of a team in Premier League is 137 years and the oldest team this season was Nottingam Forest founded 158 years age and the youngest was Leeds United founded just over a century ago. On the contrary the oldest soccer team in the US is Milwaukee Wave founded 39 years ago. Thats less than some football fans in Europe watched their team for. In the NFL on average a team is 68 years old and the Exception to this rule is the Arizona Cardinals that were founded 125 years ago.
      Also for the record. Yes Soccer is business in contrast to European football. Why do you think in every top League in the USA the teams that play there are there forever? For example there will always be the same 30 teams in the NBA and the same 32 teams in the NFL? Because having rotation would make giant contracts for superstars impossible if they were to implement the relegation system. The teams that were relegated would not have enough money to support giant contracts and the teams promoted would not have enough money to give out giant contracts. Its all about money. Keeping the same teams makes finances stable. But this approach is only visible in American pro leagues. Example in Premier League a team like Man UTD, if they play like shit (example of tanking in NBA) the last two spots each season get relegated to a lower league, If Man UTD were to somehow be bad enough to get one of those spots, well sorry not sorry relegation and we don't give a fuck you are one of the most important teams in history of the league. Thats called passion and opportunities for small markets not buissnes, as you could imagine loosing a team like that for the pros is not good for business

    None of these clips are from national teams so those are not nations coming together, those are just normal clubs based in cities like the LA Lakers or Boston Celtics in the US. So those fans aren't from all over the nation, they're mostly just from the city/region of the clubs

      Not even… cause most big cities have several teams, here in Europe. And may be in the same division, like london has many for example, I live in Belgium and Brussels has 3 in our first division. While in the USA the Celtics are indeed in Boston, but it’s the only team, not in the city, but in the entire state.
      We shouldn’t compare sports in the USA and in Europe, it’s something different, it’s passion vs entertainment. Love vs money.

    Football is about place and identity, regardless of social problems, it is many times an escape from that. Also each city has either one team or maybe intense rivalries of two or more within that city that go deep and many generations back. Some hate each other and the passion comes from that, see Rangers v Celtic in Scotland, North and South Italy or River plate v Boca Juniors in Argentina!

    We suck.
    But its not about that. You dont choose a club, it gets introduced to you.
    You take pride in the colours of your kit.
    And every single team that has any form of fans (like a handful are enough) has its own songs - which are partially several decades old and were sung by your granddad when he was young.
    Its pride, its heritage, its culture. My club stands exactly for the values the people here grew up with. In the past we made a lot of money producing steel. Hard work, always getting back up, blood sweat and tears are things we expect.
