manchester fans are threatening to storm the field during the upcoming FA Cup final to protest the club's purchase by the original evil team owner, malcolm glazer. would that EVER happen in u.s. sports? where fans are viewed (and view themselves) less as stakeholders in the success of a team, but as consumers that can be replaced as soon as the team can appeal to a wealthier set of spectators?
