We really need to stop comparing this sport to rugby. There's a reason football is the most popular sport worldwide for a variety of different reasons, ages and demographics and rugby isn't. Stop looking to it as the end game, it isn't.
There's a reason things work in that sport and don't work in others. If you can't identify them without them being spelled out then it's a tad concerning
Yeah, I get fed up with it being held up so much as well.
Football is so popular that I guess it triggers a lot of hatred from those who don't like it as it's so omnipresent. And even people who
do like it seem to resent the money in the game so much at the top end that they're very sour about it. So you hear so much negativity about Football, and so much positivity about bloody Rugby. Whereas, as you say, it's Football that's actually the most popular sport, watched and played everywhere. Rugby is a lot more niche, like Cricket.
