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.

    Good on you for coming to this revelation. Just keep it all in perspective and segment it in a relevant way to your life (which is more important than sport). Perhaps only watch games, (or just the recaps), don’t obsess over results or players if it makes you unhappy or throws you into the churn of the 24-hour cycle of discussion, just let it go. You can still cheer and follow your team if you like, but make it a passive participation instead of engaging in the nonsense surrounding it. Unfortunately this can apply to most any hobby that isn’t extremely insular, but at the same time a step back is always a good thing to me. Life is short and there is constant pressure from every angle to compete for our time (which translates into our money, the only motivation for any of it), and time is really all we have, so don’t waste it.

    Yep that’s because they love the drama rather than try just understanding more teams and talk about more players they all steal a living tbh

    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.

    I’m a United fan and obviously I’m falling out of love with the sport faster than most… but …

    This whole American people doing clips on why Ten Hag’s philosophy isn’t as good as Arrigo Sacchi, when they are reading of a script and 5 months ago didn’t know what footie is…

    The VAR over analysing EVERY ACTION after a goal is scored….

    Players on RIDICULOUS contracts. I mean players always were on high money but nowadays certain footballers, like Mbappe or other top players can literally purchase a premier league club with their earnings…

    It’s making players multi millionaires before they’re even starting their career trajectory….

    The soul of football is dying.
