There are people that dont watch football and don't care to know anything about it. It does not mean anything. I don't like football, it feels like a waste of time, how can I be interested in people chasing ball.

I will rather learn electronics and build myself something new. That would be fun for me.

It's only in Nigeria and Africa that people take certain things into their head too much, because according to them life is boring, without a sport that was not even part of their culture and history.

LordIsaac:
I'd rather sleep than watch football!

Zonefree:
Very boring to the core. Na men like that dey wash his girlfriend's pants and bras.

*Spits on his head*

Did you have to go there? Seriously? And when people say toxic masculinity stems from misogyny,y'all get your wings in a bunch. Please get rid of the misogyny, especially in this century? What do you gain from it because if you ask me it's only bullies that see people as less than

Melap:
You are still pained. That's good

Hahahahahahahahaahahahaaha

I'm here as well

Foolishness, you think is every body that is interested in arguing about man u and Chelsea or arsenal.

I don’t watch football, does that make me less a man, what do we do during weekend? A lot of activities aside football.. enjoying being football fan and stop worrying about those that doesn’t have interest!

mariahAngel:
Dude! You're overly sensitive and whiny.
So unbecoming.

No gal, he's actually right, people have various tenets that they worship their leisure but I'm not gonna lie,the question was super simple even a lot of people that don't watch football knows it

Dont mind them, they are naturally extremist, the arabs will sell for them how to be terrorist and later they will confess that they cannot imagine life without being a terrorist or a slave.

Oga na lie.
I am a very organized fellow.
I have 4 businesses and families I give attention to daily. I work, travel and play 247.
I do so much yet I am a super football & basketball fan. I watch NBA till 4am and still go about my business.
biko hapu okwu.

He shouldn't have replied in that manner but I know where the defense is coming from. It's completely obvious the OP haven't left the four walls of this country because if he had, he will know there's no one way to define being a man

Fred166:
Very boring men. I wonder how they spend the weekend when they're less busy.

That wasn't his first question. He was about stepping up to ₦250,000 or there about....

I don't watch football, I don't just lack passion, I lack attitude for it as well.

I hate contact sport, it's too violent.

Shegzy8:
I watched this episodevand I can tell you the question is wrong.

Some teams from Israel participate also and we all know Israel is in Asia

Nope the question isn’t wrong geographically Israel might be in the Mid eastern,Asian region but they’re aligned with Europe and UEFA as far as football is concerned,same thing with turkey as a country which is a kinda euro-asiatic too they’re aligned with Europe in terms of football and politics.

Lastly the UEFA champions league is a competition organized by UEFA governing for football clubs and football associations under its banner.

Have you ever reflected on the purpose of your life? Why did the Creator go to all the trouble of forming you, breathing life into you and providing all the beautiful things in nature that you’re surrounded with? Is it so that you can waste the years to have to spend on this Earth running around a field and kicking an inflated leather ball around?
After that, why would the Creator permit you entry into His eternal Kingdom to enjoy the fullness of His works for all eternity?

You are weird, funny, and without any valid point at the same time. To start with, the purpose of our lives is to worship and glorify God Almighty - through and through in our entirety.

However, you make it seem as if other secondary things like leisure and pasttime is wrong. You could not be more wrong, boss. Do you know how much God enjoys himself when his creatures (the good and bad alike) take some moments to enjoy themselves in recreational sports?
It's just like the feeling you get when you're watching your kids from afar as they enjoy themselves in that pastime like skipping ropes, algalagala and other recreation with a win or loss outcome that they are immersed in. It's for fun bro, don't get worked up over it. When fans troop into pitch in their thousands to support a team and they are singing and chanting, and dancing and chanting, even the angels, I would assume, are interested and engrossed, or when then there is a dying minutes thunderous goal with fans trooping into the pitch to celebrate before the ref even blows the final whistle. . I am sure God might be amused and pleased as Liverpool fans were chanting "Make it 10" against Bournemouth yesterday God finds pleasure in some human activites. May God forgive me if I am wrong, though. My point is, hobbies are not wrong, even the Almighty may delight in us when we enjoy them.

That being said, the OP is just surprised that one of the most watched sports in the world and one of the most followed competition, a Nigerian male is ignorant of. You don't need to have certain hobbies to know certain things. You should not exonerate him because he probably doesn't follow football. We should be all rounders. I know almost nothing about Basketball but if you ask me some elementary things about the sports, I should be able to answer you. We should be all-rounders. Basic knowledge of things around us should be encouraged. A country where during Champions league night, his peers are trooping out of viewing centers in their numbers? He has no excuse.

Right.
It wasn't worth getting worked up over.

mariahAngel:
Gwa ha ooo!

no mind that guy.
na him type go give 1000 reasons not to do any exercise.
if you tell him to visit the gym he will say AM I GOING FOR OLYMPICS?
No skills. total zero

I dont hate football and i dont like football, it makes no sense for me and it seems like a waste of good time although it is not for others.

But i understand others who love the sport and i am happy to see others happy to watch their football.

I will rather go and play with a chicken, than watch football.

it is best he replied in that manner so we can see him CLEARLY with his village champion talk.
na their type go enter juju to OFF you instead of to stand like a man and compete or lose gallantly like a man.

Olaolex:

And u too sir...

Happy Sunday nairalanders.

I can't believe there are still men who don't watch football or know nothing about sports.

I was watching who wants to be a millionaire and this particular question was thrown to this guy.. I couldn't believe the guy didn't know the answer. Baba was totally confused and speechless. He even requested in using one of his lifeline options by calling a friend. Omo! I just dey laugh. And the answer is B. I have to capture the moment.

I can't do without watching sports especially football, boxing and wrestling. There's no question you will throw at me about football or other sport games that I won't give you an accurate answer. I know all football leagues competition round the world even Nigeria premier league I do follow up too.

Football is fun especially when you're arguing, teasing, defending, laughing, throwing banters at each other's club while drinking your cold beer.

Even here on nairaland when there's a live match update, I do visit the thread because I always enjoy the banter fans throw at each other.. It really fun.

Those of you that don't watch football or know nothing about sports.. Please how do you spend your weekends? How do you live your life? Is life not boring for you guys? Please I need to know.

I doubt if the guy will go far in the contest,you don't even need to be a sportsman to know such question,I rather watch documentaries than football,I even prefer formula 1 or motoGp than football but I know most things about football and other sports

Hahahahahahahahaahahahaaha

Melap is right,,,u re pained.

nams77:
I don't watch football too but I can answer that question: Europe.

My father till he passed on( bless his soul) wasn't happy that I don't watch football. He said that's the only thing I deviated from him.
I had to start claiming Chelsea ( his team) just to make him happy. But he saw thru my charade

Miss you pops

LMAO... There was a caught.


May God bless his soul btw.

This is a lie, do you know how much football is loved all over the world? Do you know how obsessed Europians are with football? Especially those in England?

It is not only in Nigeria or Africa.

The question is wrong. It stated “From which continent “.. That alone is debatable!!

Mexico and Canada once took part in Copa America, doesn’t make them part of it.

Costa Rica, Honduras, Panama aren’t in South America also but the participate in Copa America.

The question is wrong

Nsonaso:
Actually those men are classified men, they got no time for bulshit. Men who cannot leave their own business to go watch fellow men do their business.

There is a saying in Igbo, that when men fight, na women dey carry dey news.

So in this scenario, the men playing football are the men fighting. While the people watching are the women that carry the news.

He's not in the top 5 Million richest men in the world.

Don't mind the silly girl i know her type.

People seem to quick to criticize others preference forgetting not everyone has same background and influence, I used to watch football alot but right now I really feel bored of it, few minutes of watching I might change can channel but I can stay hours watching athletics.

Football isn't only sport in the world there are many others people choose from to watch and they are passionate about it, just way you are passionate about football, watching football and having passion for it doesn't make anyone superior to other, if you go to places like India cricket is what people watch more, different backgrounds come with different choices and passion.

Less than half of the world loves football.

Football/Soccer
The sport has roughly 3.5 billion fans worldwide and 250 million players across 200 countries around the world. The next most popular sports in the world are cricket (2.5 billion fans), basketball (2.2 billion fans), and field hockey (2 billion).

I hope it reduces more, Asians are not crazy about football, they have well developed economies and are more wealthy, so they don't need to see football as a great way to wealth. I wonder what else motivate people to love football it's not that interesting.

Melap:
I did not get it wrong bro. My sports are lawn tennis, volleyball and handball. Not every man is into football or likes it for fun

and u think people don't stake 2odds on lawn tennis, volleyball and handball?

You are just another joker
