[font=Berlin Sans FB Demi]Serendipity, you sound a lot like my boss at work who thinks football is not a sport and that baseball is rather what is called real sports. No offense mearnt, are you American? I ask because only Americans have this kinda bias against football as aginst the almost 6Billion inhabitants of the earth. They even refuse to call if by its rightful name , preffering to call it 'soccer'.
To answer your question, competitive sport has been in existence since time imemorial, and it is a way to decompress for some people. I live a normal life and football balances it. I eat , breath and drink football especially on my days off after a hectic week at work. I dont know what you do at your spear time, but for most people its sports following.
Some people take whatever they do to an extreeme, be it alcohol drinking, drugs, sex or sports following. So calling Football following a 'tomfoolery' is akin to baring your bottom in the public. You are making a mockery of your age[/font].

Thank you. At least you are somewhat rational.
Like my posts clearly explains my position towards football.
It isn't that I hate football in its entirety. But look at these:

* being unreasonably engrossed to football.
*discussing it as if it were your sole business or puts food on your table .
These and also the fact that these lads get paid undeservedly (paid for doing little) are what pisses me off most. Okay?

And finally, you admit you're a sadist fellow who's sad others are making it 'unfairly' in a 'fair' world, in your world the man who pushes a truck should be paid more than the guy who plays football, abi,

Like I said before, hug the nearest palm tree,

And if nothing in this life has made you

something is actually wrong with this guy, have you notice that his reply is posted twice
Re: Watching Football Is Nothing But Sheer Tomfoolery! by Nobody: 12:30pm On Oct 17, 2011
@op
you dont seem to get it do you? The amount the players get paid is nothing to football fans compared to watching the game at our spare time. Its really difficult explaining these things to you cos its like someone said '' tryin tell a congenital blind man what colours are''. No offence. Most of the time its the ladies & gays that talk the way you do. Those who have posted before me have given you their reasons. You'll only be making yourself out like someone is slow(to understand that is) if u continue in this line. Enough said.

Those that are pricked by the plausibility of my assertions are now, out of desperation, looking for the nearest transformer to hug.

Ok i see and how did you know this for a fact?Hallucinogenic state of mind would be a proof to my initial diagnosis.

Serendipity. Just because you do not like watching football doesn't mean you have to opine in offensive terms regarding it. You are entitled to your opinion anytime anyday as well others who feel different.
Nuff said, don't start a hate thread here.

Am not mad/crazy abt it, I dont benefit any thing from it. MONKEY DEY PLAY THEY EARN $MILLIONS,WHILE BABOON THEY,

BENEFIT OF FOOTBALL TO NIGERIAN YOUTHS :

* IT HAS HELPED TO DRASTICALLY REDUCED SOCIAL VICES LIKE - ARMED ROBBERY,RAPE,

* IT HAS HELPED TO REDUCE STRESS

* IT HAS HELPED TO UNITE NIGERIANS IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR TRIBE,CLASS,STATUS,RELIGION,POLITICAL AFFILIATION,ETC

* EMPLOYMENT/ BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY(VIEWING CENTERS,SPORT PAPERS,SELLING OF JERSEYS AND OTHER STUFFS.)

Channel the time you use in watching footbal to self development. You will be dazzled by the outcome.
Re: Watching Football Is Nothing But Sheer Tomfoolery! by Ukavwe: 11:17pm On Oct 17, 2011
@op this life is not all about money,some time your happy,something that give you joy,that make you feel alive,we do these things not for the money, while some people, money make them feel happy for example,a farmer does his job not because he make more money than a banker or a doctor but because he love the job its gives him joy,i'm sure you are an economics because all you see is money and time.

if one cannot use the non footballing time for self development i cannot see how addition of 6 hrs a week from possible football time make any difference.

if you hate football keep it to yourself.life is not all about money

If it's 6hrs a week, then it's totally acceptable. But I'm talking about obsession here. Or haven't you seen someone that will be sad all day, just because his supposed team was defeated?

I have not gained one kobo from you being alive. So what is the point of your life? grin

See how silly your rant sounds?

PS: If we all fast and pray, do you think the guy who holds a gun to your head and forces you to watch football will let you go?

Your logic is flawed...the poster simply means football has no immediate benefits to anyone to warrant the attention it is given. If you paid the poster undue attention, then, just maybe, your logic would hold water.

@ thread: I've personally banned football and Nigerian movies on all the televisions I have control over; for the former is an excellent time waster and the latter can make even a genius dull by 70% with just 3 months viewing!
