It isn't sport, it's a game often played by kids in the park and now used to extract huge sums of money from ordinary people to make a few people very rich.

@MegaSpideyman Anything that people do competitively for the enjoyment of it rather than because of a big fat paycheque. Look up GGR 2022 if you want a good example.

@Grenbestyie Some of us are reasonably content with what we have now as we grew up with very little.

It is actually worse than most of the corrupt things our wonderful government get up to!

@MegaSpideyman Petanque as played across France by ordinary people because they want to.

@themk4982 I am talking about professional football, not kids kicking a ball in the park or similar. It is a pretty pointless game anyway as it doesn't achieve anything for normal people. By the way, in the UK, fishing is supposed to be the biggest (genuine) participation sport.

@guenthersteiner3311 That is a very wise statement, Never really thought about it that way?

@themk4982 There are lots of sheep too.

@Stringer13ell It CAN be a sport but when it causes hatred amongst neighbours and as I said previously, takes money from ordinary people. The fact that the majority of professional footballers and many fans are not exactly the brightest bunch also detracts from it.

@raffitorres1714 They enjoy the money more and don't care a hoot about their fans, otherwise they would not change clubs just for the money. The player who is currently going through the courts is a very good example of who they really are! About the only ones who came out reasonably decent were Jack Charlton and Vinnie Jones.

@kalasmournrex1470 Basically to my mind, a sport ceases to be a sport when it is played purely for money. It then simply becomes a job with no loyalty to the team you play for.

@daveyjones5702 I really suggest that you at least cut down on your weed usage as it seems to be badly affecting your mental health.

@daveyjones5702 If I were a moron, I would still be way above you in the intellectual stakes - lol. Mind you, even with 1/10 of a morons intellect, someone would be well above you.

@alexevans4877 Define what makes something a "sport" then - without using YOUR opinion or saying things like "because it is".

@alexevans4877 Good old internet, absolutely everything on it is the whole truth!
