Who Will Refuse to Concede?

Revolutions and murder aren't common after a disputed football game.

In real football yes.

It isn't particularly common in that either.

Dynamo Kiev is about as close as it comes. I do recall Didier Drogba trying to use his celebrity as a player to stamp out revolutionary violence in his country (Ivory Coast).

Well, it appears Arizona GOP, along with the RNC, are using Arizona as the test bed for electoral theft.

Republican attorney general candidate Abe Hamadeh has filed a legal complaint asking a judge not only to prevent certification of the Nov. 8 election results but, if appropriate, also to certify the election to Hamadeh.

The complaint was filed Tuesday in Maricopa County Superior Court by Hamadeh, who was joined by the Republican National Committee.

The contestees include the candidate now leading the attorney general race, Democrat Kris Mayes, as well as Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbes and other elections officials.

Of course, this being a court, rampant lying doesn't work as well. At least until you find a court partisan enough. But this case can't possibly go anywhere. But the RNC is trying.

Why does the loser need to "concede"?

Because, as part of the experiment that has been Democracy, we have found losers conceding helps Democracy remain alive. It is a politico-sociological thing.

Do coaches of losing football teams make an announcement that they lost?

That depends what you mean by "common".

Remember 1998? The Packers beat the Broncos in the Super Bowl, but Mike Shanahan wouldn’t admit he lost, so he riled up a mob of Denver fans, got them to break into Lambeau Field and steal the Lombardi trophy - remember that? What a great game!

Dude, I'm American. Do you think we learned anything about stuff that happened in other countries?
