It isn't so much the game itself really, though I don't like that much anyway, it is the attitude and the money that I have a problem with moreso. Firstly I don't think that anyone should be paid that much money to do a 'job' which many people would do for free if they could, and in relation to that the ticket prices are ridiculous. The attitude is what we see right now; the flags on cars and houses, people acting like they are somehow part of the team when they win, it is somehow a victory for the whole country, but if/when they lose it is all on the head of the one person who messed up.
I prefer rugby (coming from a rubgy league town) it is much more physically demanding, a more intense and fast paced game, and the fans aren't as mad (I know when England won something last year in rugby union there was a big celebration, but they don't go as mad as over football)
Rant over lol
Don't you think it is ridiculous how things like sport are deemed more credible than any profession that requires any semblence of intelligence?
