Its only a game

[King_Steele]

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?

The former mod trying to be everybody's friend ey?

Fremantle are a joke.

 

[King_Steele]

Says Mr "Premium Platinum" with over 24,000 posts under his belt.

Former mod to you.

 

[Mighty P]

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?

Was it light entertainment in the GF in 2013? And again in the Prelim in 2015?

lmao

I realised that after I posted, but CBF changing it. Imagine if Stephen Hawking posted here!

Instead of stat melts we'd have science melts?

 

[Stronzo]

And yet the OP has posted over 24000 times on a site known as bigfooty, and has been a mod on same since like forever.

Footy is everything, as it should be.

You're obviously a lonely person in denial to believe or even state such a thing.

Strong passive melt, if you really didn't care you wouldn't bother making a post like this.

Its an honest summation of the reality.

Point out where or how I am wrong.

Just think, every time you go up to celebrate a goal, there are roughly around 100-200,000 people having sexual intercourse.

And 10 times as many having a flog.

Just think, next time you're having sexual intercourse or a flog, there are roughly 50,000 people celebrating.

Strong thesis, well expressed.

I'm finding that football in fact means absolutely nothing.

I've tried to make it mean something this year. Tried five times and failed.

Perhaps at some point this year I'll find a way to make it mean something, but I'm expecting it will continue to mean absolutely nothing many times this year.

Likely on a weekly basis, for at least another four months.

with 11 kids, loneliness is a dream

 

[A Cut Above]

What surprising responses.

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

Deciding you want to invest less time & emotional attachment in football because you realize your team is years away from a flag is one thing, asking the rest of us to validate your choice & then heaping scorn on those who refuse to embrace your level of detachment is quite another.

No validation, just recognise the facts. It's not at all important.

Trust you to get wound up about this, you're more invested in football than many of the players.

 

[Plugger35]

Freo's next home game.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

 

[Collingwoodity]

I wonder if the OP will obtain any emotional satisfaction if Fremantle won a flag?

I would hypothesise that he/she would.

Therefore OP's hypothesis remains unproven until Fremantle win a flag.

Something tells me you were less inclined to "recognize the facts" 10 minutes before the start of last year's Prelim in Perth.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Its a sad day when someone loses the love of the game,I blame s**t coach with negative game plan and crap recruiting.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Yep, OP is right but

Free Kick Hawthorn.

 

[Jesse Custer]

It's definitely just a game... Until your team starts winning then everything can GAGF..

Aaaah

With that I must dedicate this song to Stronzo and the Fweo bois (especially Natalie Fyfie)

Well in this universe it does to all of us, because this is where we exist. But the concept of infinity means there are an infinite number of universes with an infinite number of all of us doing all sorts of s**t. Jebus, in at least one of those universes Fremantle are the galactic empire and they all still wear purple and lipstick. But we'll never get there because anything with mass cannot even travel at the speed of light. Which means we're hecken stuck here for the term of our natural lives. Not so bad, earth is a pretty good place and 'Straylia is one of the best places to live.

 

[Hawk Dork]

Unless you bought a Fremantle membership

 

[jaaack]

hahahaha do all non-Hawk supporters think this way? sounds like a crying shame, really it does

Given that your delicate ego is so steadfastly linked with the fortunes of your football team, I'm not surprised you reached that conclusion.

 

[JoseMourinho]

Yep, Stronzo is right. This is just a game and lets not get horribly invested into it.

 

[Jesse Custer]

that also means logging off bf Jose.

Free kick Hawthorn
