antartica: Sports like football,cricket. Christinity,fashion and language were used by the british to civilize the people they termed the prehistoric natives,i.e, africans and indians. And u guys are disappointing, u seems to have been taken in by oyinbo magic,forgetting that is about who initiates,creates and indoctrinates.

Canisma: The poster is asking if hating football makes him less of a man.
=
my answer is YES.
He would find out that even his FEW friends are also less of a man.
I wonder the things you ll discuss with correct dudes like me and other correct Nairalanders. You ll just be boring to your fellow guys. I have seen people like you and you guys suck. BIG TIME.
Im sure you dont know anything about politics too.
YOU RE LESS OF A MAN.
Give it up for football.
Its just a game, but What A Game.

Reference:

The world is a global village. Tommorrow it could be ours the world watches. But wait a minute. Don't tell me all you enjoy watching is entirely home grown. That I won't believe.

Kwach Imani: ...Sorry dear....whatever...he is not alone....instead of cheering your own homegrown teams to be international leagues..you cheer European leagues...and they make money out of you......besides there are soo many other sports one can be a fan of...have a nice day!

SimonAndal: I just don't see what people see in soccer. I mean last night I couldn't sleep (plus I had a migraine, so imagine) because of screams and shouts and singing and firecrackers and stuff.
And the amusing thing is that Torres (that's the name they were screaming. Who's Torres?) couldn't give two shits about them.
So @OP, you're not alone. My dad hates it too.

hollas2jnr:

Like Omolola have said, football is and should be a means of fun catching but to some extreme obsession have set in. To me, I see football drawing lots of attention here in nigeria simply because its the most popular and sought after here in Africa. A thousand and one recreational sports are still out there, attracting lots of fans (both the obsessed and otherwise) around other continents.

Kwach Imani: .....well said dear..but you should here some posters here calling the OP names...like they became the judge of what sports someone should or should not like...as for me...i cant say i hate football but i dont love it either......!

afam4eva: I used to be a die-hard football fan but not anymore. i'm more of a passive football viewer because i think there are more important things i can spend my time doing. I have also kinda fallen in love with our local premier league, with my bias for my darling local team, [size=14pt]Enugu rangers[/size] and i hope foootball lovers will start looking inwards rather than kill themselves over the size of Rooney's peniss.

tchaik:
Sounds so GAY! WTF

Omolola1: You are alone!

Watching football is fun!! No one is watching it to learn a lesson or for morality sake, Noooo! People watch football for the fun it brings and because it brings even ENEMIES together

darlingbas: @op you are not alone, I also don't like soccer for the simple fact that it is possible for a match to end without a winner, they call it draw i think.How can they waste everybody's time without a winner at the end of the match, nothing could be more preposterous, If have my way, i'll make sure the stadium is locked and the players continue to play until a winner emerge, If I happen to pay money to watch a match and it ends in a goalless draw, then the organiser had better refund my money, not even a goal? what the... in fact I will send them an invoice for my time wasted.

Richvkunt: @BABE!,
I think I remember you too.
Love your sarcasm,but in future,I suggest you keep to things you know about...like clothes,shoes,cosmetics and other paraphernalia of the fashion section

Tinkybabe: op,I love you for hating football ..the game sucks!the obsession of some guys with it makes it worse.you are not alone dear and it doesn't make you less of a man. In fact it shows that you are a strong man,to say it out loud .

deltalife: I will only spend probably one hour watching football only and only if JESUS CHRIST is phisically there in the field.
