Letter to Football Fans:
Diverse opinions is what makes life beautiful. Imagine everyone on earth share the same sentiments. Imagine everyone is a Ronaldo fan and no Messi fan. Imagine everyone were under same political party, where would be democracy?
We must understand that opinions are meant to differ, it’s the rivalry that makes football interesting, but respect should always remain.
I was at the parade today and the song about Tottenham even if Tottenham wasn’t present was part of the things that always make the gathering interesting. I’ve attended many Derby games and even when it’s not even a Derby game, they’re banting the other team with chants, this is the fun.
I see no reason why you have to cuss people for their opinions, the logical thing to do is pose a contrary or superior opinion, and then you guys can argue it out.
We live in a day and age where we think when you cuss someone, you have a great comeback or you score cheap points and people hail you.
Be rest assured, even a mad man has fans. I have seen someone wish another man death, and the person got over 1,000 likes, most likely from people in the same club. Does that make it right? No, but people liking such tweets makes you feel good, you’re being led astray.
Yesterday, someone called me a failure because our opinions differed, all for a football tweet. I’m quite used to it because my tweets travel far, and this is why sometimes, I miss the days when I had just 100 followers and interaction was between people with mutual respect.
Do not lose your value over Joao Pedro that is earning 200k per week, do not make enemies over Haaland that is on 500k per week. You’re not even paid, the club and players do not even know you personally, but you’re so ready to cuss people and make enemies on their behalf, why? Are you a child? Just enjoy the game, enjoy the beauty that comes with it, laugh, smile, make friends along the way.
There are some folks you’ll meet in real life away from football and they’re amazing people, but you’ve made enemies with them because of Saka that doesn’t even know any member of your family,
Remember, opinions are meant to differ, and no matter how wild, you must show respect. Your first reaction should never be to cuss. Some people even use personal experiences to troll over football opinions. Some folks are so vile that they’ll use your personal predicament or experience to troll you because of football, ask yourself what type of human being you are.
You can die as a Chelsea fan at 70 and the club or any of its players won’t have done anything for you in life, but because of them, you’ve made a thousand enemies. Even the players are friends off the pitch, that’s how foolish you look when you cuss people.
Lastly, I believe any troll is probably not doing well in life or just plain stupid. Your first response to any opinion should be respect. We learn everyday, we have made mistakes, but going forward, this should be our mantra.
