(When I wasn’t reading.) Boxing and wrestling is arguably more masculine (and certainly more interesting) than watching over-paid 29-year-olds trying to kick one silly ball into a goal-post. I understand having a moderate lifelong interest in football (especially considering Liverpool’s actually one of my home-towns) but what I don’t get is the crazy obsession that so many men used to have in it before the pandemic (I think it’s calmed down a bit). Eventually even footballers have to grow up and find a proper career where they’ll be paid much more averagely.

Speaking for myself I love competitions, hence my love for Football and other Sports, and even down to Reality TV Shows like BB.

Plus nowadays Football is one of only a few things from the West that I can watch without feeling like I've took a visit to Guantanamo Bay.
