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.
It’s also constantly primary school level discussion.
“Who is better, Ronaldo or Messi?”
“Can Haaland/Mbappe/Bellingham get better than Messi?”
“Is this guy overrated?”
Planet has 8B people, every single one of them is a football fan or knows a football fan. They aren’t watching Real Madrid or Man City playing each week, many of them are watching a local team nobody’s heard of. Many of them volunteer to hang around some no-name club every week to let the kids have some fun.
But no, we need more and more content about the absolute top.
