Why I Love Football

I love football!

I love watching football and I love playing football.

My favourite league is the English Premier League, which is strange considering I’m a Scot. Everyone has their favourite players, teams and leagues and they are entitled to do so.

Does this mean one is unable to comment on the EPL, because they like it?

I support Glasgow Rangers and I’m very proud of my team. Does this mean one is unable to function as a writer?

The answer to both must categorically be No! Why would people write about football if they didn’t like it?

I take a lot of pride in my work and do my best to remain as objective as possible when commenting on other people's work. This can’t always be possible and not everyone is going to be happy! There is no reason to not defend one's favourite team.

We have a great website to air our opinions on! www.bleacherreport.com has many regular users who love a good debate and to air their views in well-written articles.

I salute all who submit their work to be viewed by the masses!

Recently though, I have noticed some disturbing comments on the site. I urge the community to stand together and not get too negative about the remarks. After all anyone can swear and go on like a child but it takes skill and some hard work to be respected as a writer.

I encourage anyone who doesn’t like someone’s opinion to write their own article stating how they see it.

The Collins Minigem English Dictionary defines opinion as what one thinks about something; belief; judgment. 

Collins Today’s English Dictionary says “An opinion is a personal belief or judgment about something.”

Bleacher Report encourages you to write your opinion and if you stick to the above, you are well within your rights to pass comment, so please don’t be put off by those who appear to be less "informed."
