I grew up watching big league soccer, where players wore tight shorts, most of them had moustaches and the programme's free to watch.
thanks to that programme i am passionate about the game, especially EPL.
i'm going into my 30s now. I have grown up, hung up my boots as a player, and flick through the channels as a pasttime.
I still have the passion for the game, but its being killed off by greed.
The greed of organisations led by some pencil-pushing geeks who have never probably kicked a ball in their lives, knows nothing about the game but all about profits and investors and returns on equity and what have you. It pisses me to have this simple pleasure of watching live EPL football robbed from me. It pisses me that it is a privelege that warrants an extra, 'affordable' $10 from my hard-earned, rarely increasing pay.
Well enough is enough. My passion ends here. I will no longer be hostage to any organisation that hijacks my passion, pretends to care while robbing. There are other things worth pursuing in life.
fully understand... those were the days... oh well... sarpot sleague then...
