I think it’s important to remember that football grounds aren’t the fun-filled haven that you all like to think they are for everyone lol like... there is a looooong list of legitimate reasons to have no interest in ever stepping foot in a football ground https://twitter.com/Red_UnderTheBed/status/1347951290689740802
it’s poor form to diminish someone’s interest in a sport just because they’d rather watch on tv? If you’ve got audio-sensory processing issues, if you’re too short to see, if you’ve a musculoskeletal issue that means sitting on shit plastic chairs or standing is a no go? that’s
without going near people’s legitimate fears of dealing with sexism/homophobia/transphobia that is prevalent in the sport whether people want to admit it or not. If you actually want to WATCH a match the overwhelming majority of stands have terrible views lol
It’s like saying if you only listen to music at home and not at a gig you’re doing it wrong, both are valid and enjoyable in their own ways and you’re entitled to do one or either or both because IT IS A LEISURE ACTIVITY AND SHOULD SERVE ONLY TO BRING YOU JOY anyway £1 in the jar
obvs missed the big gem of racism and xenophobia in the penultimate tweet, my bad I was deleting as I went to try and be 280 characters concise and it’s just made me harp on for longer anyway As You Were xx
