Football (or soccer) used to be used to be such a great game, its so boring and dull now that it has lost its meaning as clubs no longer represent their local area and national teams no longer represent their nation. I mean stuff like this exists because the club was tied to local history, the club would have represented either the city itself or a certain demographic within the city. Like in its older days, Barcelona represented Catalan identity and now its just a brand name (the whole reason the Barcelona-Real Madrid rivalry is so big was its Catalanism vs monarchist Spanish nationalism) or how in Scotland Rangers vs Celtic it was Protestants vs Catholics. The commercialization of sport in general has ruined it because the original "tribal" aspect of it was that the teams were representative, now its all about individual athletes or players, their brands, personalities and celebrity status. Not to mention the fact it has allowed football to just become one big bubble where players have excessively high salaries and tickets are far too expensive for the average person.

I've personally given up on sportsball in general for years now, it truly is just bread and circus these days.
