Society Debate: To choose or not to choose: Football Vs Relationship

A miserable rubber ball is not worth it! I wonder why soccer keeps people scurrying for the remote control, what is football and what good is in football anyway? It’s simply men acting as drama queens when they are torn apart between a match and their woman! Football enthusiasts will never cease to amuse me; I can’t imagine throwing away my valuable 90 minutes watching fully grown dudes chasing after one miserable rubber ball being kicked around. Yet the football season, premiership, blah blah blah… has brought many relationships tumbling down! A reasonable guy will lie to his woman just in the name of not missing out on a match. Football is indeed a ghost reason for men to cheat; after all, it starts as a harmless passion only to end in a disaster. I can hate on football in volumes but for now, I will only give you a few reasons why you should prefer your relationships to football. In fact, these are why you should hate football. Football is so boring! Imagine foregoing a big warm welcome hug from your girl, to go watch big guys mess up themselves! Like Robert Leitner writes, ‘football is kick, run, fall, repeat.’ Soccer clinics are indeed more interesting than watching a match! Who doesn’t see that football discriminates anyway? Do you ever notice the lack of women in attendance? It saddens that men decide to enjoy male domination at its peak while they are messing up their family and relationships. We will see if soccer will marry you once you get busted. No wonder when they go for that male bonding seminar (soccer), they drink themselves silly for there is no woman to take care of them. Wait a minute, isn’t it bewildering that even a fully installed DSTV connection won’t allow a guy to at least compromise and watch soccer at home, with his family? Well, soccer funs prefer being a mess out there and of course routine fights get inevitable. Imagine growing up knowing the kind of sadist your dad is. To me all soccer funs fall in the poignant category supporting nasty and talented football players. Never seen a game that aggressive! Football is simply a fake and short-lived game to stand. On the contrary, a relationship could be for eternity if you don’t bring in your soccer fracas. For crying out loud, why do these male drama queens, dubbed football stars pretend to be dead, at any minor injury but jump up miraculously when a foul is called on their opponents! Let’s be rational, why do you try so hard to be exotic? If it was for our Amavubi Stars local team, we would be on the same page, but Arsenal, Man-whatever.., how do you explain your enthusiasm for such foreign teams? Just get over yourself and give your spouse more time, after all Alex Ferguson doesn’t even care whether you exist or not. You can either be that drunken, violent soccer fan, with all your little hopeless ambitions of visiting Old Trafford or you could have some growing up to do, after all age doesn’t wait for anyone. Look at you, still scrolling down for the next soccer update, go ahead and trash your marriage, after all booze will keep you company when your relationship hits the red zone. Merry way to the break-up, after all soccer needs you. lillianean@yahoo.com
