There definitely is some semblance of truth to it though.
Yesterday was predominantly a LUHG protest and had very little to do with the Super League.
Yep, very important display by Man Utd fans for the interest of their club.
A bunch of people acting for selfish reasons, as long as they act together for their own individual selfish reasons, is very powerful. Your criticism overlooks that.
Imagine if all the fans of all the clubs in England did this. Then we would see the structural change to how fans and clubs partake in football together. We'd see fan ownership of clubs. That's the end game. The glazer out or Kroenke out stuff, it all helps to create a climate where the ultimate end game keeps growing in stature, even if they have totally selfish reasons for doing it, and even if they don't see or care about the end game.
When the Russian people rose up in 1917 they did so for the selfish reasons of wanting to not starve, of wanting vodka to drink and bread to eat, of wanting land and homes they could call their own, and of wanting Russian exit from the First World War. That's all they cared about. But those selfish interests of theirs coalesced into the communist revolution, because the pressure they created made it possible for Lenin and Trotsky to come in and play their end game over the top of the build-up the selfish common Russian had created. This football thing is the same. If we see simultaneous attacks on Glazer, Kroenke, Fenway, Levy and Lewis - we will soon enough see a result where fans have greater ownership over their club's heritage and tradition.
