Isn't it Funny....

[CAFC Matt]

How 22 players kicking a ball of air around on a field can generate so much hype. Millions spent to win games like Chelski,. Fans fighting when there teamslose, even killing (Leeds in Turkey) and when the World Cup takes place the country comes to sastandstill when their country plays. Even this website is devoted to Football. Overall millions upon millions upon millions of pounds are generated through football every year. Strupid Yes or No

 

[Turkey]

And your point is..

I would say it has replaced mankinds obsession with killing each other, the modern day warfare if you like. Satisying the natural urge to compete and win. But it appears we can still do both quite well!

Very, but believing in something that no one can prove exists and which causes more wars and prejudice than anything else in the world is even more stupid.

And your point is..

it is stupid the amount of money spent on 22 men kicking a ball of air around.

Don't even get me started on the organised religeon debate. For something which proclaims to encourage peace and understanding, it causes as many deaths as major disease.

We follow the Albion because we choose. We believe in the potential, and dream a little too much, but at least there is undeniable proof of the existence of BHAFC, and it hasn't made millions want to kill each other (so far!)

 

[Bobby's Gull]

Well it's made millions want to kill a certain trio

 

[Soton Seagull]

Only thousands, sadly.

This is a rather silly thread and will get worse if the religion side starts.

I like football - actually love it. I enjoy going to matches and watching Brighton play. It's a natural high, and I go through every emotion at the match. I can't explain WHY i love it so much, I just do!

That makes you sound just like anybody who slags off football because of a tiny minority who are hooligans.

 

[Safeway]

Religion is a waste of time.

 

[Turkey]

Religion is peace of mind.

 

[zefarelly]

religion is the root of all evil

I'm religiously going out for a drink this evening

Ahhh, but Hooligans don't encourage, and partake in, major wars. Although they are fairly similar on the racial intolerence scenario.

What a load of bollox.

 

[NMH]

This thread is a bit silly, I mean you could talk about The Beatles in the same way and question perspective about their fame and fortunes made and spent ....or films or other forms of entertainment.
Call football the opium of the masses if you like, but it's a sport, activity, and billions regard it as the most interesting and involving one.
It's not stupid or weird - it's just the way things are

 

[Seagull Stew]

CAFC Matt you sound like my girlfriend.
In fact, you sound like alot of football fan's girlfriends.

 

[Soton Seagull]

What a load of bollox.

OK then I succumb to your intellectually superior argument!
