What has football given us?

Football (or soccer for the ignorant people giving the name "football" to a sport that barely use the feet) is both loved and hated. Mostly loved. But very hated, or ignored by many people.

I've grown up playing football, and I've grown up watching and involving in football. But I can understand why some people (women in particular) hate football. Here are some reasons

- The money involved. It was speculated that the sheikh(s) owning Manchester City football club was going to bid 100 million pounds for superstar Kaká.



- The attention it gets. Media just can't get enough of football because people in general can't get enough of football.
- The diving. With all the diving going on around the world, the sport is being ruined from the inside.
- The fans. Such as hooligans. And especially women can't stand men screaming, shouting and crying over football, it seems...

But what good has football given us? For the women, the men stay fit by playing football. On the other hand, football has also given us fat sweaty guys drinking beer at the pub watching a game.
