I'd like footy a lot more if it wasn't the rampant racism, homophobia and sexism. But it's not so much the clubs (although they could be doing more) it's the barbarism when you put a group of hyped up football fans in closed crowded spaces and sell alcohol. It's not just the hooligans and gangs, having been to many games it's quite widespread. And there's a general feeling of "it's just during the game, we don't mean it, it's all fine afterwards" to justify the behaviour. I just can't mesh with that kind of mentality.
But I do follow it and I love my team. Everton are pioneers of promoting equality in sport and have been doing, what other clubs and have now started doing, for years. It's amazing how influential football teams are and the work they do in the community is very important and is getting bigger now because of CSR and ethical business initiatives becoming trendy.
