General Football forum • Re: Football wrong-uns

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who commit career suicide just to try and be controversial and think they're some sort of intelligent, forward thinker. Bellends like Barton, Fox, Le Tissier etc and then their followers who are similarly minded, usually male, middle aged, white bellends.

My hunch is that it's got to do with how as a white male, especially someone with a bit of fame, you're used to being culturally relevant in some way. And suddenly you're past 40 and realise culture has moved on, you are no longer setting trends, what you say or think is outmoded and outdated and it's a younger generation determining what the hot new thing is, and nobody gives a shit about what you or your uncool middle-aged mates think about it.

It's a painful realisation but most of us can deal with it in one way or another. These bellends could not.
