Actions speak louder than coaches: Perhaps they should invest in a real coach who knows soccer and talent ["Start-up Soccer: The San Francisco City Football Club aims to be your favorite local sports team — one owner at a time," George McIntire, Cover Story, 5/21]. The current coach really botched that Open Cup game. And he embarrassed himself afterwards by running onto the field to yell at the refs. Their team is barely a team. More like a group of individual hired guns with no unity on or off the field. Stop hyping, and get some real talent. Reality FC

No water? Stop growing food: Farmers use 80 percent of our water and export most of the food they grow ["Whose Fault Is the California Drought This Time? Everybody Else Edition," The Snitch, Julia Carrie Wong, 5/21]. They also pay very little if anything for that water, and agriculture makes up a very small portion of the state's economy. Eliminating these wasteful farms (who have done next to nothing to improve efficiency) would be a major step toward ensuring a viable future for the State of California. SanctuaryForMe

Benevolent dictatorship: What this wretched country needs is a benevolent dictatorship that would dismember the current Anglo Regime, recognize aboriginal peoples in law as human beings and equal to whites, and redistribute the wealth and resources in the land so that no one wants for anything ["Bare-Breasted Women Stop Traffic to Protest Police Killings of Black Women," The Snitch, Julia Carrie Wong, 5/21]. It is obvious that justice procedures of the day are not capable of effecting that kind of definable change and it too must be disbanded. A benevolent dictatorship to restore us to humanity, one and all. MakeItRight191

Say What?: Thanks for the textbook example of what the phrase "fascism from the Left" means. Hannah Arendt

The 5/21 cover story "Start-up Soccer" erroneously reported that the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club was defunct. The team remains active. SF Weekly regrets the mistake.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
