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.

Like other people have said, you have to be more picky with what you consume content wise. Find out what you actually enjoy. Personally, I enjoy certain podcasts that give off friends vibes and I enjoy some of Sky's MNF-type coverage. So I ignore almost everything else. This sub, twitter, a lot of it takes itself way too seriously. Look at how many people get downvoted on this subreddit when you try and give an opinion. Just literally remove all care from places like this and twitter and your enjoyment of the sport will be found again.
