Anyone else unnerved by the whole ‘continuing as normal’ vibe and also guy on stage chanting “they’re not like us” to crowd that effectively voted in a fascist and rapist who also is sitting in the crowd. (I know who Kendrick Lamar is and am a fan of hip hop) “The revolution will be televised” what the actual fuck bro :(
Psh. I boycotted football before it was cool!

This isn’t a political comment, football is just fucking boring.
Long whike back my cousin in the UK loved it, he was raving about how fast paced and exciting it was. I was like whaaat? After some discussion it turns out the televised games for UK were being edited, they would cut out all the delays and timeout and reorganizing on field so the games were super quick looking.
It really is the most boring of sports. It’s the sport equivalent of start and stop traffic. Sorry not sorry.
This is actually why I like it more than most other sports - I can actually tell what’s going on and see the plays because of the stop / start.
With high movement sports like football (soccer), hockey, or especially basketball, it just looks like a bunch of people going back and forth and I have a really hard time figuring out what’s going on.
Working class likes it? Then I must hate it to distinguish myself loudly from those peasants!
If you want to try an ‘old world’ replacement, the England v France rugby match from 8th Feb (part of the six nations tournament) was great
