What a gross thing to say. Even if your ignorant generalization about football fans werr true, being complacent and smug about them being preyed on says a lot about you as a person.
People should be able to enjoy their hobbies and passions without participation being monetized at every turn. I don’t know why that’s a radical position to you.
Not ignorant, and absolutely true. Yes I am being a bit snarky. But I will just copy paste what I said to another poster:
“there is a rabid fandom that puts their needs above all else. They are not going to care what the parent company does or what the countries involved do. They are willing to feed the greed at all costs. For this reason, I cannot empathize with them. They don’t care, and the people making money most certainly also don’t care, because they are still making money.”
And you said: “People should be able to enjoy their hobbies and passions without participation being monetized at every turn.”
I agree with that 100 percent. I like playing sports. If people like watching people playing sports, good on them, they don’t need a corporation to do it for them.
But the opposite is happening: they are being monitized, and they don’t care. They want to believe its “their team” not a billionaires. They want to buy merchandise and do what ever it takes to be sold the football “product”. That is what they care about. You can argue with me as much as you want, but the evidence is right here in this article.
