    Just imagine how much money you could save by not caring about grown men playing a children’s game

      While I’m completely disinterested in football, and I do think the craze is often more than a bit much, this is just overly reductionist. Does everything one cares about and finds fun/interesting necessarily need to have intrinsic value? I’d say no.

        No it doesn’t, nor did I suggest otherwise. Only that it incurs expense like any hobby, and that any meaning a person finds in it is imbued, not inherent

      Not obsessing over millionaires who don’t give a fuck about you, playing a children’s game for their billionaire owners who really don’t give a fuck about you.

      Why? So you can forget that both of these demographics exploit you and the entire system on the daily? Maybe it’s better not to forget.
