This may surprise some of you but I think football's popularity (playing it that is) is falling. There are alot more people turning to alternative and in my mind more enjoyable sports to spend their free time. These sports are mainly rugby and basketball which are alto more fun to play and all the players are involved. Let's analyse each sport.
Football: Very popuar game in this current generation for some time. Involves kicking a round ball into a rectangular goal. When I was 8 I played for a small football club, looking back i am amazed how much pressure they put on us. The coach would shout and bawl at us if we were losing or if we lost. He talked in footy jargon which nobody above the age of 12 would understand. I quit when I was 10.
All the ethics of the game have been thrown away with riots after your 'team' loses and it for some reason affects people (especially scousers, I don't know why!) Also the money in the professional game is way out of proportion and so are the ticket prices.
Rugby Union: Full contact sport. Involves getting an egg shape ball grounded over a line. I have been playing this sport since I was 11. It is a much better game than football in term of enjoyment and atmosphere, families come and watch it and people of both sides sit together in the stands. They just want to see some good sport being played.
Also the game is alot cheaper to watch (and we have a good national team)
Basketball: A fast paced game involving getting a ball through a net. This game is a great game to play, especially with some friends in a park. I have been playing this since last year and have now been playing it regulary ever since. Games are also great for spectators.
Summary: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THESE SPORTS? is football really going. This is the way my school is going, maybe its just a thing in berkshire. Lets hear your thoughts anyway.
And think first Pro Evo and Ortega!
