Turns out I can complain about it!
Have you ever read the book “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck”? Turns out, I don’t have enough F’s to give about the Prem when United are not competitive. That’s mainly what I’m complaining about. I want United to make it worth my time to watch soccer again. I’m fully admitting that soccer is a fringe sport for me. I watch when my team gives me a reason to watch. I’m just saying I miss watching games that I can care about. It’s been like 8 years of not being able to watch EPL. It’s just crazy because 10 years ago I wouldn’t miss a game and would have even said soccer was my #2 sport. Crazy how far it has fallen from my radar.
I will also say that I have a theory that in the USA I think soccer fandom might be a younger person’s thing. Just my perception, but it seems like when I was 23-30 I was obsessed with the game and so were all of my friends. Now in my 30’s is seems like none of my friends care anymore. For me, I thought it was because United suck, but maybe I just got older? Not sure if this theory is real, but I am interested to see if my passion for it would return if United were good again.
