Stop Shaming Football Fans: Every Hobby Has Its Value

I’ve heard people say we’re wasting our lives supporting Arsenal or playing video games while others are “inventing things.” But those critics haven’t even invented a cotton bud, yet they still enjoy music, movies, or fashion created by others. When Arsenal won the league recently, fans around the world celebrated like they’d lifted the trophy themselves. For many, football isn’t just a game—it’s an escape from stress, loneliness, or hard times and a chance to feel part of something bigger. We all attach ourselves to passions that bring joy or a sense of belonging. It doesn’t always have to be about productivity or money. As long as no one is hurt, we should let people enjoy what makes them happy.
