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.
I barely bother with any of it. Of course, I’ll have the odd argument on Reddit to pass the time, and I check fixtures, team news and results on the Sky or BBC apps, but apart from that, I avoid it. Even the commentary and punditry during the games - I miss them because I tend to watch matches a couple of hours after they’re live. Partly due to family commitments, partly because I prefer to watch matches at x2 speed.
