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.

i’ve low key been getting into smaller leagues recently. Less drama and money, same sport. You’d be surprised too. The J-League is free on youtube, and it’s highly tactical and super entertaining. You’d never expect it from a league of that caliber but i enjoy it more than some CL/PL games

i thought players were also a lot more put together and organized than danish superliga/mls games (the other two smaller leagues i’m familiar with), even though those are generally considered better leagues and feature better players (though i still love watching both of those leagues too)

i still love the prem, and like others in this post, i ignore the punditry and hyperbole, and it’s still entertaining, but watching more local, grassroots football excites me more these days
