If one team scores more goals/points/thingies than another I don't see how that can make any difference to me. I used to climb mountains (when I was young and fit) but the point was I did the climbing I didn't watch someone else do it.
I agree with this to a certain extent, I don't know how football teams work in america but in england the whole concept seems ridiculous.
You get a team named Manchester United, because they represent Manchester. But the manager is scottish, several players aren't even from England nevermind manchester.
I hear of football teams in england being bought all the time by random rich people, they should really just be called "russian oil tycoon united" or "random asian billionaire FC".
This isn't just the end of how stupid it is though, the majority of the big football clubs fans aren't even from the cities the clubs represent.
So the end result is you get a guy cheering for a team which represents a city he doesn't come from, played by players who aren't even from the same country, managed by a guy also not from the same country, owned by a rich guy also not even from the same country.
I'm the biggest hypocrite though because I own two Barcelona football tops and I've never even been there and I just wear them to go to the gym because they are one of the best clubs and I enjoy watching youtube clips of the skill involved in the games, but I would never bother to sit through a full match.
UFC on the other hand there's no stupid concept of cheering for a city or place, you can just watch and be neutral or just cheer for your favorite fighter or just who you think deserves to win, its also shorter than a football match which last way too long in my opinion.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
