Is it worth being brainwashed

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

All in the CA forum your defence of Tate and Kanye's attack on BLM.

Hope you had a good holiday break.

Sadly he can't respond in there as he was banned for, um, *checks notes*, aha... spreading misinformation, telling covid lies and tediously monopolising discussion.

Shame we never got to see him and Oddball interact.

On topic: I'm all for being brainwashed. Bring it.

There IS no brainwashing. Now, repeat after me: the Prem is the best league in the world, the Prem is the best league in the world, the Prem is the best league in the world.....

It clearly is for the players. Their match "fee" is mainly incidental compared to their club salaries. There are other benefits of course (shop window, bonuses for victory, etc.), but there's no comparison overall. On top of that, national teams cannot buy and sell like club sides, so imperfection makes for greater competition and countries can't buy success in anything like the same way. Great players have to do it when surrounded by lesser players than they would be at their clubs. It makes for a more organic experience on the pitch. Off it is another story entirely...

Think you are spot on - Fifa make me sick but a lot of the players change completely in the WC. You can see how much more anxious they all get - it matters.

A few years back I realized how football and in particular The Premier League has us all brainwashed. The younger generation wont understand but the game has now been taken away from the working class. I could go on all night about corporate greed and how I believe its tool to keep the peasants in check. We may all believe we love our clubs but I think we are all brainwashed. We put that much emotion into Everton that has us all losing sleep and suffering depression at the end of every relegation campaign. I think it is a major issue that is not to be taken lightly. God forbid when the day comes we go down. For this reason I have been trying to gradually desenzitize myself from football and Everton in particular. I now very rarely watch any other games and only watched 2 world cup games. I would love nothing more than the whole bubble to burst and go back to how the game was 40 years ago. A lot here will say how we have the best players in the world but that's how I feel atm.

Been thinking this fits a long time

I don't lose sleep
I don't get depression
I don't put much emotion into it
I don't say we have the best players
I am not brainwashed

Other than that, spot on ?
