I love football.

I love football.
I love the aesthetics of football.
I love the athleticism of football.
I love the movement of the players, the antics of the coaches.
I love the dynamism of the fans.
I love their passion for their badge and the color of their team and their country.
I love the noise and the buzz and the electricity in the stadiums.
I love the songs.
I love the way the balls moves and ebbs and flows,
and the way a team’s fortunes rise and fall through a game and through a season.

And I love that football brings people together across religious divides, geographic divides and political divides.
I love the fact that for 90 minutes in a rectangular piece of grass people can forget, hopefully, whatever might be going on in their life and rejoice in this communal celebration of humanity.
The biggest, diverse, invasive, or pervasive culture, that human kinds knows is football.
And I love the fact that at the altar of football, human kind can come and worship and celebrate.

Football is much more than a game.
