America doesn’t ask a lot of its citizens. We don’t have a draft, we have comparatively low taxes, we don’t have compulsory voting. But we do have certain rules that you have to follow as a citizen, certain expectations of behavior — and one’s passion for a sports team doesn’t waive those expectations.
Geraghty is hoping that political figures will weigh in on this issue. I agree with him; I'd like to see some serious stand-taking going on, because this downward spiral has got to stop. Now. I don't think that political people have the power to make it stop, but I do think that they help create a general atmosphere of either tolerance or intolerance for atrocious behavior.
