It’s everywhere. From images, to videos, to Tiktoks, to adverts … I’m over saturated with opinions, replays, player ratings, hyperbole and the like.
There’s only so much you can take.
Example 1. The Newcastle goal vervus Arsenal. Never ending discussions on the decision. The hyperbolic nature of the punditry. The uneven opinions of the same people.
Example 2. Handball against Newcastle. Hundreds of videos all moaning, complaining over and over again. The same pundits complaining and restarting their opinion.
And now the new one - the ref not giving Man City an advantage in the Tottenham game. It starts all over again. The videos, the complaining, the shouting Tiktoks…
I just don’t care anymore.
Rational discussions are gone, replaced with hyperbole and drama.
It’s too much. I can’t watch any football related content anymore.
The only thing to do is to shut it all out but the commentary is just as bad.
All the media noise about football makes it seem like the most important thing in the world. The smug self importance of people like gary neville and simon jordan doesn’t help matters. In the grand scheme of things football is not important. When it comes down to it it is just a game
Ha! this post is hyperbole, and everything you are moaning about so dramatically can be solved by literally not reading or listening to your phone. It’s got nothing to do with the football on the pitch or the game itself. Get a grip.
I was thinking the same thing. How ironic.
I watch the matches and the post game coverage on TV. I will check out a Reddit post if it catches my eye.
Everything else can fuck off. Especially TikTok.
I don’t think anyone’s gonna miss you bud but You’re constantly on Reddit commenting on football posts maybe stop doing that
Yep that’s because they love the drama rather than try just understanding more teams and talk about more players they all steal a living tbh
Just watch the games and don’t get on social media if you follow a lot of football related accounts that do that stuff that your describing. Including this subreddit tbh, sometimes I just watch the match and look at my FotMob app to check scores and that’s it.
Just avoid the opinions man. I as a standard tend to block channels posting “reaction” videos when they get recommended. I really don’t get why anyone would give a damn how random twenty year old Tommy from Tamworth feels about a match. Ex professional, I might give it a bit more time.
If you’re disillusioned with the spectacle of the top level, then the beautiful thing about this sport is that there are so many other leagues and styles of football around the world.
Footballs boring it’s like a rollercoaster up down up down some teams just aren’t worth watching. Also you can sit there for 90 min and not a single goal I can’t be bothered with it
The current non-stop punditry is designed to hyperbolise everything to keep people engaged with the “product” and arguing about it ad infinitum keeps people on apps.
The Sky pundits for City-Spurs at half time were fine, then fine after the game, then there was an ad break, and when they came back they launched straight into an argument where they all took 3 positions and wouldn’t back down from “theirs”.
They always do it.
It’s not about fans being fans, it’s not about football, it’s about keeping people engaged with advertising. Clicks and screen minutes.
I’m a United fan and obviously I’m falling out of love with the sport faster than most… but …
This whole American people doing clips on why Ten Hag’s philosophy isn’t as good as Arrigo Sacchi, when they are reading of a script and 5 months ago didn’t know what footie is…
The VAR over analysing EVERY ACTION after a goal is scored….
Players on RIDICULOUS contracts. I mean players always were on high money but nowadays certain footballers, like Mbappe or other top players can literally purchase a premier league club with their earnings…
It’s making players multi millionaires before they’re even starting their career trajectory….
The soul of football is dying.
Probably consuming too much junk media, just watch the matches.
Your taking in too much . Get off Twitter , reddit and the internet in general . Just watch football games and don’t watch all of rhe games on a weekend . Have a team and follow them and just slightly update yourself with highlights that’s it . No 4 hrs getting deep into it .
Seems like it’s not football that’s your problem…
Try and limit where you watch and who you watch.
I used to be like this. Once I stopped watching certain outlets it got better.
