I don't think you really understand what's being said to be honest. Maybe you're not interested?
I care about the match on the pitch in general terms. I think that's pretty obvious, and it's quite offensive to the majority of fans to say that they don't. I find it hard to care much about these matches because it all feels plastic and unnecessary. The teams don't want to be there. Look at Paul Cook's comments today, that's how 90% of players and managers will feel too I bet. They've got to play because their chairmen have told them they won't get paid if they don't. The players aren't fully fit, they aren't playing with the same intensity, they've literally changed some of the rules, teams are being hamstrung by playing home games in empty stadiums. Oh and we're still in the middle of a global pandemic. On that basis, I find it difficult to care too much about the games. Maybe it will change when we start, I don't know, but right now I'm not really feeling it. I watched some of both the games last night but they just didn't do it for me.
I find your posts really bizarre though. If I went on to, say a Chicago Cubs forum, and saw that the majority of the locals, people who go to the games and who grew up immersed in baseball culture and dreaming of playing for the Cubs, saw things differently to me, I would think 'well they're the ones who matter, who am I to argue?'. It's quite telling that for you, you think it's you that's right and everyone else who's not a real fan.
It will do for now under the circumstances. However, it does highlight how important the fan in the stadium actually is for the TV. Without them, long term football as we know with all its wealth and stardom does not continue. Hopefully we get treated with the respect we deserve going forwards.
