A friend asked me a few days ago, "Why men are so fanatic about football and when he plays his club, women (girlfriends, wives, friends, etc.) Cease to exist for them? You are a man who "You can explain it to me?" he said, while foaming at the mouth, angry because her boyfriend was postponed to a game out of your favorite team.
first thing I did was advise him to resign (and I got a glance anger in response). Thus, should resign, because even though I try not to be able to beat the football. The reason is simple: love, passion for the favorite team does not go away, as it removes the love the couple (a guy over his life, in most cases, has had more than a girlfriend to Throughout his life). She replied that I was right and it was not true that love to a shirt out stronger than love for a woman.
Upon hearing this I said "How many known types throughout their lives have changed girlfriend or wife?". He replied that he knew many men in this situation. Then I said "How many known types of equipment have changed football? ". Absolutely none responded resigned. With which recognized that I was right.
But Why is that? Why a man's passion for soccer is unchangeable?
My theory is that because that for men, football is linked to dreams. How? is simple. All the kids wanted to be footballers because it seems a beautiful sport (which most women will never understand not having ever played ). Let us. I think (men) a beautiful sport, a sum that will generally make good money being a football player, y. .. Who would not like work at something you love and also guarantees a good money as income? Once this is understood, now we move on. We know why everyone wants to play football, but why do not we get to be players, even many years later, we were watching the game as if we were hypnotized?
The answer I have is this: Because of conscious or unconscious way you look at television and think that you want to be there, that would give anything to be there "on the green grass" (as would the great Angel Labruna), and all those condiments (like the sport, and that is the impossible dream) result that species hypnosis. It is impossible to sleep so that when one sees that a player misses a penalty whenever someone says something like "How are you going to hit it? If you kick me sure I put it." This phrase is also linked to the impossible dream. The "translation" of that phrase is: "How can they let him kick? Yo, that all life wanted to be there, that would give anything to be there, I'm here watching TV, and the idiot that actually did his dream (and mine), which also earns good money, can not even kick it a penalty? "
Another point to prove that women can never be against this is football. Few days ago another friend told me that her boyfriend seemed to be in love with his football team and not hers. And my answer is yes in love with his soccer team and she also (so it said) the difference that the club will be faithful and not always women (men too).
One of the worst or the worst thing that can happen to a fan is that his team is going to decline. Is comparable to a traumatic separation (say, for infidelity). But after the separation in many cases the type will not again speak to his former partner. A sort of break all relations (not just romantic) between the former couple.
In contrast, in the event that a club which is a fan is going to decline, the link is not broken, but on the contrary, is strengthened.
Another example of the passion that football generates in men is that football can be a matter of a conversation between two strangers (and who knows, maybe this conversation is the beginning of a friendship, as often happens when one is small .) Example, a woman enters the elevator of a building and the elevator there are several men that go to different floors of the issue. One of them is listening to the game on a portable radio. Surely one of the radio has not asked how the game goes, and that certainly strikes a little chat when we meet what is the result of the comparison. Football is a theme that embraces all men (or vast majority) and some friends of mine have been recognized with envy that women have a theme that embraces all, a subject capable of getting people to talk among themselves despite not supported, such as football for men).
So I told my friend to resign. Let's see what you think when you read this. Good afternoon.
