MY GAME IS FAIR PLAY
WEEK 2: ON MY PASSION
Once you start following football, supporting the club of your choice and following every small thing of it. Your teams win makes your day or if they lose you feel irritated as hell. Your team scoring the injury time goal and winning the match can bring you to tears. It will become part of your life. Nothing would make you happier than watching your favorite team playing and then it will get into your veins, it will run in your blood, the whole day you can talk about it, think about it. Intense moments in games will make you heart thump out of your chest. It will start as a game, then it will become your passion, then your obsession, your tradition, then your religion and then your whole life revolves around it.
“IT’S NOT JUST PLAYING, IT’S PARTICIPATING”
To be a passionate football fan it requires living the inexperience. It’s not just about being a spectator but to be a participant. Not only will you want to attend every game, but you need to engage emotionally in the team. This can be done by attending away games, trying to out-sing the greater home support, attending them through rain or shine whether your team is doing well or not. Even myself have a Stevenage based twitter account.
It is more than just enthusiasm or excitement, passion is ambition that is materialised into action to put as much heart, mind body and soul into something. Some people become so passionate about something that it consumes them and forms a second life of its own.
It’s not just a kit: It’s our skin
It’s not just a stadium: It’s our home
It’s not just eleven: We are thousands
It’s not just 90 mins: It’s a lifetime
It’s not just a Passion: It’s an emotion
It’s not just a Audience: It’s our family
It’s not just a Game: It is football
It’s not just Football: It’s our life
If you don’t understand that, don’t bother
This is true football fandom.
