Esports. The only thing sport related is the game being played on the screen. Sad. Very sad if that is the future. Just a bigger version of kids watching someone get a top score on Asteroids in Shirts Galore, west Croydon back in the late 70s/early 80s. Pinball wizzard anyone.?

Apparently, the modern game comes from Scotland - who were the first to largely kick along the ground with their feet. How their football has gone - that beggars belief. Red and Blue Army!

Rugby is not significantly more popular than football in France and never has been. But it's a lot closer than here, and there are pockets where it's the No. 1 game. They have huge admiration for the heroism of the game. It's probably fair to also say that they're less into spectator sport than us, but also love their cycling If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Originally posted by Ginger Pubic Wig it's not hard to imagine it waning here. I think we've seen peak tv spend, especially for non-elite clubs. were that to reverse significantly, I think there could be a palpable sense of decay. good players leaving, more and more tv saturation for diminishing returns...a bad spiral I have been thinking that for a while now.
