Football fanatic: the worst best thing you can call a male ape that thinks growing a beard makes him more a man. So twenty two grownup men chasing leather skin for ninety minutes somehow became the worlds most celebrated sport. And the fans are the most radically immature people anyone can ever hope to deal with. . I once found myself in the unfortunate position of arguing with a fanatic and he uttered words so scarce of intellect I almost questioned his status as an evolved being. He said one couldn’t be a man and hate football and how football made someone more a man, spoiler alert “we were all women before football was invented and women don’t have to be empowered all they need it to love the beautiful sport of football and shout as balls get kicked into posts”. I once though that it was only in Africa where football fans acted like savages up until Liverpool fans managed to appear in our local newspaper for a very honourable thing causing more chaos than an African election. Btw I am an African which basically means I am immune of being termed as racist. Might I be confusing love for outright madness and a clear indication of a brain incapable of performing as one? But even love can be so much blind hate seems a better path, maybe that’s why some fanatics commit suicide after losing. But the most amazing thing about the fans is how they critic the players as if they would have done any better if presented with the same situation, some can’t even get out of their mom’s house. The way fans are quick to hurl insults at players calling them stupid yet it’s not them that wasted almost two hours of their lives watching men chase balls. I may fail to be a fanatic of any sport but there is something about football, how the players get paid peanuts compared to what sponsors gain in marketing both directly and indirectly. But someone was quick to tell me football isn’t all about balls getting chased, here’s how I understood it. So we have a group of eleven where one is unfortunate and has to try and make sure the ball never gets through what they call a goal post, the other ten try to gain possession of the ball, but when they get it they kick it and try to repossess it then kick it again till they kick it through the opponents post If they succeed they get a point. Now the part where I got lost is where skill and talent gets involved because he also said kids can be very good at it unlike a real job where brains are involved. And I also forgot he said there is also another creepy guy following the ball anywhere it gets kicked to and ensures the players got make inappropriate contact. I wish I had a sweet way to end this but I’m afraid we people of earth will always have to live in a society polluted by a sport that never seems to evolve, may be it will die of old age or maybe get amnesia and get a prefix like American before it and evolve to a different sport where we try what sheep do best {head bashing}. So much hate.
