i guess you can’t draw any causal links, but i wish there was more reportage or exploration about the connections between white nationalist groups and violent football fans. interesting choice to explore crowd/mob mentality instead. i love that the greatest violence the writer experiences is not from the “hooligans” but from the police . cool genre bending — felt part memoir in its structure/narrative choices overall. is this gonzo journalism?
