You make a good point. But I don't think that proves it's not overrated. I don't think that bringing peace and unity or whatever is overrated. I do think it's good that people can stop fighting to play/ watch football. But I want to know, why football? Why has football taken off and become an obsession as opposed to (in my opinion) more interesting sports
( ... )
That's true. I don't hate football as a game, just the obsession that many have about it when I personally can't see why. Which answers your question about rugby; if it were as popular as football, I'd still like it, but I'd hate the people who are near obsessed with it.
Still closer to 20 years than 10.
They should decrease the cost of the season tickets, whether or not they're in demand. And so footballers are entertaining to watch. So what? That doesn't mean they should get paid more than most doctors etc.
The footballers may not say that but some (note I said some not all) of the fans do.
National teams are ok, I can see why people would say "we". That makes sense. We are england, but we are NOT Manchester United or Arsenal. And it is when they use it as if they were actually playing on the pitch, scoring goals that irritates me.
In comparison I'm going to have to say that soccer/football players are not that overpaid. If you want to see overpaid athletes, take a look at my NBA...Shaquille O'neal, the center for the Miami Heat basketball team, has a five year, 100 million dollar contract. Five years. 100 million dollars. And that's not counting all the endorsements and clothing/shoe deals he has. That is ridiculous

No...no orphanage for him, but I think he has enough bastard kids to fill one. Let's just say that Latrelle Spreewell is an utter disgrace for the human race. In fact, I'll go so far as to return to my southern roots and call him the 'n' word.
