Guilty by association.

We've all had the tag, or even heard of the tag that football fans are aggressive angry numpties who get worked up about the most superficial thing - and maybe, they couldn't be further from the truth. If you look around you, look how much is written about football. It is clearly the biggest fabrication in the world today. We're supposed to believe it is important, it carries merit, it has some use to the world but in fact it means nothing.

Or is that true?

When two countries, divides by walls and borders come together to play football they merge to compare merits of physical prowess. This merges two countries under the banner of sports, fairplay, character, attitude, personality, virtue. We can extend this to a local level where teams from towns and cities play each other to merge two groups of people together with their differences on the basis of colours and history to share a goal.

Isn't it beautiful!

(?)

No... or maybe it is. Maybe it's all about perspective?

We can look back at the handball from Maradona. The fighting. The spitting and aggression between Holland and Germany and our dislike for Germany too (unfortunately). Mocking race and culture on the terraces. Racism, prejudice, Stereotypically driven rage?

If anything, football just shows us what boundaries we have and the huge walls that divide us because we really dislike our fellow man for the most pointless reasons ever. Superficial nastiness based upon

History
Colour
Lies

Then we have the players. Shagging their friend's partners. Stealing money. Fighting to earn millions -

Then Credit's Crunch!

It's not surprising our kids are obsessed with material things and naked women.

(what did these footballers see in this French girl?... some easy locker room gossip?...)

Then there is Mido? What is this all about?

1000 pounds a week. For now I'll accept, amidst the fog of cynicism and scepticism that haunts our greedy subjective relativity - this is one of the few great things in the world today.

Liam Neeson using all those hybrid martial arts in Taken. I think in an interview he said it was Kapour that he used which is a hybrid but they were trained by Oliver Schneider who was trained in Wing Chun and the Indonesian art of Pencak Silat.

I've included a video below to give some idea of it
