I've never understood leftist paranoia of feds from the 70s onwards

from the 70 onwards

COINTELPRO, the murder of civil rights activists and revolutionaries, and the coups against progressive leaders in postcolonial nations all contributed heavily to a general paranoia which is not entirely unjustified, if a bit excessive at times. I remember the first time I ever encountered information like this:

I felt angry, paranoid, and depressed for an entire day

No. Sports is not where America's problem is. The US is absurdly evil and violent when it comes to pretty much anything else, but at sporting events you actually look restrained and pretty chill.

Nah lol. Americans will not only flip cars and set shit on fire when their team loses the superbowl, but the same people who do that kind of shit will complain when BLM does the same shit because the cops murdered someone. And setting aside fan rowdiness, American sports are incredibly exploitative of the players, cheerleaders, workers etc. Stadiums are huge drains on the public funds of the cities that build them. I could go on. American professional sports are a torment nexus.
