Peaches, you don't like soccer because the fans are unruly? That doesn't make sense...
there are a few things to consider on my point of view:
- unfortunately, out of all the people who go to the stadium, over 75% are either stoned out of their minds or s*** faced drunk. This also happens outside the stadium, and that is their general state of being, you work so you can score drungs\booze.
- I don't like being drunk, and I don't have any interest in drugs, so the circle of people left for me to mingle was limited. I'm not saying every single soccer fan is that way, but A LOT of them are so that steers me away.
- I'm not trying to be a dick or consider myself superior with the following statement, but again over 80% of the people who go to the stadium are of a lower social status, where the only things in life are soccer, drugs or booze. Even most of my highschool friends who don't do drugs but are really into alcohol I stayed away from, to me there is more to life than getting drunk on the weekend and remembering half of what happened. Some people in a higher status are not so different; my cousin doesn't do drugs, went to law school and now runs my uncle's school, has 2 kids and a lovely wife. Unfortunately there are only 2 things you can discuss with him, soccer and food, anything else and you might as well have a conversation with a rock.
So, if I don't like something then I just stay away. I'm still open to things, every now and then I'll watch an European game that is actually interesting, but for the most part I stay away. Some things remind me of unfortunate stereotypes that I like to avoid.
