text: are there any men in the u.k. that hate football with the passion that most love it? i am male and have hated football for as long as i can remember! i think football is as arrogant as the statement, "the beautiful game". i am sick of seeing the aggressive, fist shaking, teeth clenching of supporters, totally arrogant. have you noticed that most news programmes end with a smile and say something like, " and now football", as though they are now going to talk about something that has unanimous approval, arrogant! even many tv adds are using a football theme. it is as though people are being brain washed with it, it’s everywhere! it appears that football is gaining a kind of religious type of status.   please tell me that i am not the only male in england that feels this way, and thinks it is about time that others know that not eveybody loves “the arrogant game”. i don't hate it, i just find it dull.
