So it's Germany against Spain tonight(as I'm sure many of you know), I only know through word of mouth and the tension is at an all time high. Here's the thing though, I hate football. "Why?", you may ask well it's simple really.
1. You're watching 22 grown men running around a pitch kicking a ball about.
2. There's easily more better, fun(and important)things you can do for 90 minutes, have sex anyone?
3. I don't feel an "emotional" attachment for people I don't know who get paid gazillions for doing something a child could do, albeit alot better. When Arsenal score my brother practically jumps and whoops for joy, my uncle is even worse, luckily they haven't both been in the same room yet, thank god.
4. Fights fans get into over football are stupid and childish, do you think the team you support gives two shits? Really? Do they? No, they don't, it's all about the money.
5. I never understood why some people say "It's never about the football now, it's about the money". Since when was it about anything else? You're talking about football as if it's a way of life or something important. And since when were footballer reliable role models? I would much rather look up to someone who actually contributes to the community and does something significant, what do footballers do? You guessed right, they kick balls about, what a great role model for our kids. Not.
6. Wouldn't it be better to actually play football? Rather than sit down with a six pack of beer and watch it? Surely no wonder so many people are obese, instead of wanting to go out and have a kick about with friends which could benefit your health you would rather sit at home and watch the game on tv. you could be doing so much more in those 90 minutes.
7. Atmosphere. This word gets chucked in my face so many times(2974 times including today now)and is the word used to describe the euphoria of watching a football match. They say if you can't beat them join them so I watched(well tried to watch)a game. I picked a team to "support", check, beer(even though I hate it), check, load, rowdy bunch of friends, check, remote, check, HD TV, check, let's begin.
15 minutes in and I'm asleep, I can't do it, I can't hack it, I don't know how people go through this shit, seriously.
I'm not jealous of footballers, kudos to them earning millions for something everyone can do, but football is gravely overrated. I feel they should do a study like those ones where it says "We spend such and such time of our entire lives in bed" or something like that except entitle it, "Such and such of our entire lives is spent sitting in front of a tv watching two teams kicking a ball about and actually thinking that those playing care about you", I would donate money to have them conduct a survey on that.
So do you hate football? If you do then why? Similarly if you don't then please explain why? I just don't understand what's so good about it.
P.S. I understand the off-side rule so don't try to be a smart ass.
