It’s everywhere. From images, to videos, to Tiktoks, to adverts … I’m over saturated with opinions, replays, player ratings, hyperbole and the like.
There’s only so much you can take.
Example 1. The Newcastle goal vervus Arsenal. Never ending discussions on the decision. The hyperbolic nature of the punditry. The uneven opinions of the same people.
Example 2. Handball against Newcastle. Hundreds of videos all moaning, complaining over and over again. The same pundits complaining and restarting their opinion.
And now the new one - the ref not giving Man City an advantage in the Tottenham game. It starts all over again. The videos, the complaining, the shouting Tiktoks…
I just don’t care anymore.
Rational discussions are gone, replaced with hyperbole and drama.
It’s too much. I can’t watch any football related content anymore.
The only thing to do is to shut it all out but the commentary is just as bad.
I was a kid in the late 90s/early 00s and we had MoTD on a saturday, the back pages of a newspaper and (maybe) a weekly magazine.
Now it’s 24/7 news channels, constant updates from clubs, players, managers, god knows how many different panel show/analysis type programs… A million different social media accounts repeating the same shite clickbait articles, a million different people saying stupid things they don’t even believe because some attention for being an idiot I’d better than no attention at all.
And it’s literally no better. Nothing has changed except how much media we consume.
