I'm slowly falling out of love with football... And it's because of the neverending hyperbolic nature of it. (alien.top)

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.

Tune yourself out of content. When a game is on now I tune in just as the teams are going out, I do something around the house during the half time break, and turn off or switch over then the FT whistle goes.

Drip feed a little Reddit and Twitter for club-related stuff, avoid TikTok entirely. It’s much better.
