Todd Boehly. A man...who wants an all-star game.

Sorry looks like actually we have a committee. Who else is on this?

I’m the treasurer, so no money will be released on this farce.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Most people can tell the difference tbh.

I'd like to think most people aren't bothered

Well, they are. People live and breathe this sport and would rather it didn’t turn into a complete circus for the benefit of some billionaires thousands of miles away and nobody else.

I meant most people aren't bothered about gatekeeping who gets to enjoy it. I agree with you on that, it is why the big 6 need to be cut out pronto, but that doesn't make the guy who would enjoy some of these stunts not a football fan.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Oh glad we cleared up that you're in charge of who counts as a fan.

He is right, though

I genuinely don’t believe that anyone who wants to watch a “Premier League All-Stars” game is a football fan. They are people that view football as essentially a TV series or a drama. The same people that have probably swapped teams 5 times since they started watching. You’re allowed to view it that way, but then you aren’t a football fan in my eyes, you aren’t emotionally invested.

 

[Alan Whittle]

There is no need, you all are going to have to get used to blatant money grabs since the other 14 didn't have the backbone to send the 6 packing.

Oh yes! That’s right, the Super League is all the fault of the clubs that don’t want it and fought against it.

You understand that "football" is the sport as a whole yes? Some people genuinely do just like watching people play football. I think they count as fans.

Oh they fought

The word “fan” is short for “fanatic”. By definition no, you can’t really be a fan of football if the integrity of the game itself means absolutely nothing to you.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Oh they fought

and won.

Like Kopites you mean?

Integrity? Football has integrity. I'm out.

 

[TheBigIguana]

and won.

Nah. The Super League failed because of the fans of the teams involved not because the other 14 showed up. And then when the other 14 had a chance to make a statement they did absolutely nothing. Jellyfish levels of backbone. And we're into a other season of them getting bulldozed.
