Who else thinks this?

[Spectric]

There is way to much coverage of people kicking a ball around on Tv at the moment and it is the euro's, has no one told them about brexit? Yes it is one of my pet hates, I hate football and avoid like it is covid. Who else thinks the same or is everyone stuck watching them kicking a ball around, then running around pretending to be an aeroplane that then has undercarriage failure.

Bit like 2 weeks of tennis in normal times - peope in skimpy white clothes waving bats watched by people eating strawberries. Less than rivetting viewing in my book.

It can be comical watching the syncronous head swiveling, I think that some birds perform a similiar ritual during pre mating.

I don't understand why TV planners seem to think the whole Country is interested in football - both ITV and the BBC have more than one channel, so why don't they air all the football they wish on a secondary channel?
Personally, I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes than watch soccer. Wrong shaped ball.

At least we get only two weeks of saturation tennis, we're not force fed it every week.

I think it's fantastic.

I love it. Not because i like football,but because whilst everyone is in the pub or at home watching 22 millionaires kick a bag of air around the roads are empty.
Olympics soon. That is one im actually looking forward too.

Never seen the point of sport full stop, neither playing or watching but football has to be the worst.

 

[Chippyjoe]

Not enough on normal tv in my opinion.

Yeah ........... I managed even the London Olympics without watching more that one minute at a time of it - and that was too much.

Never mind - Lions V Japan tomorrow, channel 4.

Tour de France just started so that’s my annual sports intake taken care of. At least with the football it looks like it’s all going to be over very soon.

Cav's riding. So it should be good.

I have no interest in the football myself, I think it brings out a strange partisan tribalism based on just randomly liking a team because you just decided to when you were 7 or because your grandad likes them. Or a sort of nationalism of the worst kind.
I do realise that a great percentage of the country really love it though, so let them have it on for 2 weeks.
I do like the Olympics . I realise I am the odd one out but when I watch sport I don't care who wins before the event starts, I just like to see what happens and people doing amazing things.

 

[Southdownswolf]

Love it, they should have more of it on.

I would like to make the same complaint to the BBC Radio 4 coverage of cricket. This bizarre sport is declining in popularity as it is too complicated and takes too long. Who can imagine a sport which can be played for 5 days and not have a definitive result? Fortunately I have an internet radio so I can tune into the normal Radio 4 output, but in the workshop this does not apply.

If it was just about the football, I'd say it's your time, spend it as you please.
Unfortunately, all too often it is a gateway for nationalism of all kinds.
A nasty business that brings out the worst in people.

Moto GP, World Superbikes, British Superbikes, IOM TT. Rugby.

I aggree. - If the people who love competetive exercise used their energy on Any Constructive Pursuit, such as building adventure playgrounds or improving access arrangements for the disabled, the world would be a much better place.
The main reason for all of the (excess) interest in sport, as far as I can see, is gambling - which is, after all, a Vice !
