Boxing has existed far longer than football.I think you need to see the wider picture


Oh right so it's longevity that makes a sport "truer" or not. Or it's because some people in poor countries struggle for survival. When you put it like that, it's so obvious.

Well thank you as I for one had no idea that there were parts of the world where life isn't as easy as it is in Western Europe. Thank you for opening my eyes and perhaps one day I will leave these shores and see it for myself although I've heard that there are parts of the world where they don't use the same words that we do here?!

The world can be a cruel place largely shaped by mans actions towards each other .I just hope and pray things get better but its the right actions that changes things for the better which isnt always easy.

Iam firm in my belief though that good in the long run will always outweigh the bad eg light over dark always

Now back to the football

Love the poem - we should never forget our proud history. Don't really give a toss what sport has been around the longest as long as we win on Sat. I've never seen a boxing match bring as much joy to as many people as some of the town games I've been to over the years.

Each to their own    

You made a a fair point though as I remember reading about when Spain won the world cup back in 2010.Grown men crying thinking after years of their country being bottle jobs when it came to putting  on the national football shirt they had finally secured the holy grail something they never thought they would see.

I hate the over commercialised sanitised Premier League. Give me the raw third world struggle of Mayweather v McGregor any day of the week!

More to the point, great poem

Well I like watching most sports but I do not love them,

I do not even love football .

My only love in the sporting world is Grimsby Town FC.

and

It breaks my heart to see it in turnmoil because of one man who thinks he is doing a good job but in reality he is just driving away decent fans who also love the club like myself.
