Re: Football Rant
Not being a fan of football I can certainly see why you feel the way you do (although feel you're being a bit too harsh on the fans). It seems crazy that people get paid so much just to play a game, yet those doing extremely valuable jobs to society (such as scientific research) get paid a pittance in comparison.Re: Football Rant
I am not a fan of football either and sigh deeply when the world cup is onRe: Football Rant
It's always amazed me how otherwise sensible people can get so hysterically emotional over a game so banal as football. Personally I would begrudge every penny that I contributed to the wage packet of such a bunch of spoilt, arrogant brats, that have no apparent respect for anyone or anything.Re: Football Rant
Re: Football Rant
Got to agree with Hammer. I enjoy football, without endorsing the massive wages paid to players. If you applied the same analogy to say, TV and Movies, would you not watch either, because of the inflated salaries paid to Stars of both of them? I also find your post hysterical, if I don't like a programme or sport, I turn the damn thing off, I suggest you do likewise.Re: Football Rant
Like Rockrider, I too have a detestation of football on the television. Since Football matches are held in a stadium for the object of supporters paying to go inside that stadium and watch matches 'live', why should those of us who have no interest in football be subjected to to this sport be televised to the detriment of all other 'drama' programmes. I would be the first to shout hooray if they took football (and indeed all other sports) off the television entirely.Re: Football Rant
Hammer, this was NOT aimed at you personally, I don't know you and am sure you are a really nice bloke (despite liking football). So please don't take it personally.Re: Football Rant
The game of football is a sport that is played understood and enjoyed by many people and why not! I don't have an interest myself but I don't begrudge others who do. The biggest gripe has got to be the fact that professional football is big business first and the sport last. Big fees and wages are decided by the big boys at the top and the plays are not going to say no are they. Even genuine football fans who remember when football was all about football are disheartened with the modern day running of professional football. Just take a look at FIFA if that isn't about money and corruption on the back of football I don't know what is.Re: Football Rant
The point is being missed,
