Football fandom is senseless in itself...
Futbol fandom is senseless. Especially wen u r from
a part of d globe where ur beloved club dat
commands ur admiratn,support, adulatn &
obeisance does not reside.
Wen passed tru d crucible of reasoning, logic & learning, d very idea of an individual witout
financial, family or basic survival ties to a corporatn,
sharing in d joy & pain of dat gigantic corporatn
can't be justified.
It simply makes no sense.
I am an FC Barcelona supporter. Having been a follower 4 nigh on 15yrs. I have known d glory
days wen we sat at d pinnacle of European futbol
wt every of our move bathing sporting gold. Den l
hav followed as we were thrashed by Bayern
Munich & eliminated from d UEFA champions league
disgracefully. Barely a yr later, we came bak to winning
silverwares again & so d cycle of joy & pain has hit a
positive patch.
I have devoted a quarter of my lifetime basking in d
victories, hurting in d defeats, contesting heated
arguments abt d finer points of d beautiful game. Tactical philosophies, angles of attack, defensive
4matns, game mgt,zonal marking, player
transfers,managerial vacancies, injury mgt,rival
intelligence, late winners,bullet headers, xtra-time
winners & mercurial talents.
All diz 4 what? I luk wt envy as my acquatancies who do not share
my love 4 futbol walk on by. Dey r spared dis world
of adrenaline & pain, spending dia days in non-
sporting bliss & delegating dia expendable energy
to hedonistic pursuits.
Dey r d true voices of reasoning, & dey neva fail to point out d fooly of our ways. I neva admit dis, &
find new ways to arrogantly ignore dem,but dey r
right. Futbol fandom makes no sense.
I have seen pple lie awake at night, after a loss by
dia team crying dia hrts away, & choking on dia
tears. Also have l known many to celebrate wt abandon cos a game was favourably decided. Diz
hav happened to me.
But den d dedicatn gets darker. Pple lose dia lives
to futbol. Fans hav been known to commit mass
murder
& countless crimes over dia affiliatn to a club. Odas hav found creative way to hurt pple who do not
follow dia ways. How abt futbol terror campaigns?
Dey exist also in little pockets of humanity.
Dis makes no sense. If nothing, it is akin to d
bloodshed & gruesome misdemeanours of d
fanatical religious faithful, who ascribes wrongdoings to a higher being. In dis case who do
it for a sport.
Futbol clubs aren't known to be huge admirers of
dia fans. Dey dnt actively get involved in d lives of
dia teeming adoring numbers. U dnt matter to
Barca,Arsenal,Chelsea,Man U,Real Madrid or any oda club. U r simply good business, a lone
negligible statistic in dia empire of sporting
entertainment business. Dey only want ur money.
So y do we do diz? Y throw ourselves to diz
sportsmen & dia parent club? Y hate on a man cos
he loves d ideology of a futboling business structure? Are we incapable of critical thought? Are
d facts of dis matter not clear to us?
Of course dey are. Fans knw diz basic truth too. We
understand dat futbol is senseless in itself, but we
do it cos it makes d wait btw now & our deaths
more fun.

With the present state of the economy, you are discussing barca and arsenal. Na wao
