That's a lot of words but still you make no sense. Stop being so vague and start being more specific. It's like trying to decipher a neo-nazis ranting about Jews controlling the world. Please explain who is manipulating us and why? If you think it's the governments then you don't know shit because they have absolutely no involvement with club football.
Hell the only time I can think of that a government has tried to use football on the masses to take their attention away from how fucked they were running things is the argies '78 team and that didn't work at all because the argies still fucked off the military government. Or are you thinking about Franco's Madrid because then you had the Catalans Barca and it's like you said a pseudo tribal conflict. We can't have wars against each other anymore so we let our teams do the fighting and everyone can go home alive and happy. Why is that a bad thing?
And also are you stuck in the '80s? Hooliganism has looooong since died. The only negative that happens with football fans is the ultras and nowadays they are nothing more than an intimidating bunch. Nobody gets hurt.

See it just about chanting for your side and having a good time.
Now be honest... you must be a virgin or something right? Because why else would you be so bitter and adverse to having fun with a bunch of people who share the same interest as yourself. Please tell me what you do to relieve stress and have fun if you don't play and watch any sports because you are too smart to be conned by the people who control "the system."
tl;dr Football is not the same as American pop culture. You can't use it to fool the people. I hope you can realise this.
Tell me, what man's name do you have written on your back?
I just have a plain 3 lions home shirt. No name or number.
