Its only a game

What surprising responses.

I thought we might have a deeper talk about the way some of you have no life outside of watching football.

I get it, you've been forced this year to find a life outside of football. Just go back to whatever you used to do between 1995 and 2013.

Would read much better under a pseudonym, Stronz.

Owen Fighve, perhaps?

Petition for Nat Fyfe to change his name to Owen now.

You're absolutely right, the footy 'industry' is an absolute cesspool.
But still, EFA. Welcome (back) to the dark side.

There is life outside football? Noooo... nooo... I don't want to go back!

Lets be honest with one another here.

It's a made up sport played only in one part of the known universe, bound by a set of rules which not only alter from year to year but from game to game, within a competition guided by a hierarchy of interests which place the monied at the top - and fans much further down, with fairness and justice down further still.

A sport which draws such people to its attendance that see racial banners adorning the walls, scenes of drunken violence in it's aisles, s00z, and participants of the sport who are so desperate to further themselves and their team that they will put almost any substance into their body.

A sport with such a nepotistic bent, that it lines its media with so many mediocrities that you couldn't fit them all in a commentary box, let alone know which one to hate the most.

It's only a game, and one riddled with so many problems that you must question your personal worldview if you're letting it affect your emotional state. I mean, surely you people could be concentrating on something more worthwhile than a group of overpaid guys chasing a ball around?

This is a wonderful post, it's just a pity you never thought to write this when your side was 0-0, instead of 0-5.

You must be suffering?

Once you start saying to yourself "it's only a game" it's a slippery slope towards asking "what is life?" Which then becomes "when will I be freed from the Matrix?"



Conclusion, it is more than just a game.

When you get your fat arse off the seat, throwing expensive light beer all over the family next to you in celebration of a goal, remember that at that very second:

- Someone is dying
- Someone is being born
- Millions of light years away, there's a new star emerging
- Four new colours have just been invented
- An extra 14 terabytes of information has just been added onto the web
- Brendan Fevola is passing out in a gutter somewhere
- Richmond is still shit

Then apologise to that family, but not the father because he's a real estate agent and should be the first one lined up against the wall and shot when the revolution comes, and think about how it's only just a game.

On the contrary, I am quite stoic about the fortunes of my football team, as it is only light entertainment.

Perhaps you lack the ability to comprehend?

You have to stay in your box, don't get out of your lane.

Or you could try stamp collecting?

I don't own shoes, only thongs.

If football has no purpose, what does?

We have altered our game style. Maybe that's why you're enjoying us more.

It has a purpose.

But if you're seeking emotional, intellectual or spiritual fulfilment, you won't find it with football.
