Football itself is just a kind of ball, a tool for people to play, but it has been turned into a commercial element, and even a tool for making money, which is far from the meaning of football itself.
In ancient times, people didn't have football to play, just to make a living has exhausted all their energy, ** have time for entertainment?When humans have leftover food, they will focus on recreational activities. During the tribal period, people would celebrate at the time of the harvest, celebrate after a victory, and even kick the enemy's head, especially the head of the enemy general. Later, there was Kemari, which became the first soccer ball by sewing a ball from animal skin and stuffing it with hair. Later, there was polo, ice hockey, basketball, volleyball, etc., but the most sporty was football. After all, you have to kick with your feet, not with your hands. The strength of the feet is greater than that of the nimble hands, but they are not very flexible. To make your feet flexible, you need to train constantly. Disabled people with broken hands often train their feet so that they can use their feet to eat and write. When a person's feet are well trained, they can be of great use in the process of playing football.
Soccer players can play soccer with their feet, catch the ball with many parts of their body, and kick soccer like a shuttlecock. Isn't it enjoyable?But I don't know how much practice this play has been, I don't know how many heels I've fallen, and how many pairs of shoes I've broken. Playing football is just a recreational activity, and if you want to talk about fitness, you can only get out of it in the process of recreational activities. Entertainment is primary, fitness is secondary. Several people can meet together, play football, follow certain rules, or play casually. Football itself is entertainment, it can be cathartic, it can unite teammates, it can be exercised, but it doesn't have to be profitable. However, after the operation of capital, football has become a money-making sport.
Around the world, football has become a World Cup sport, and it has become a training sport for many national football players. In this way, football has the meaning of the game. Only in the game can people see the athletes who play football, see their heroic figures, and even many people volunteer to become their fans, to cheer for them, buy their endorsed products, and reward them. There was once a World Cup-winning foreign star who came to China and advertised a product, which attracted many fans to buy it frantically. The star has become a star, and it has its own traffic, and it is world-class traffic, if you don't join forces with advertisers, is it a waste of traffic resources?In fact, just because a star is good at playing doesn't mean that other skills are good, nor does it mean that they have made good progress in other fields. But people are easy to empathize, thinking that if the stars are good, everything is good, and they have to reward them, is it a kind of crazy star-chasing behavior?
People have to set up an idol and the subjective spirit corresponds to it in order to live strongly. After the Cultural Revolution, idols have disappeared, people's spirits are in a state of distraction, mercenary has become the standard for some people, and the pursuit of power and money has reached an irreparable level. Under the operation of capital, the star has become the object of people's pursuit, just because he can play, and he is not born to play, he stands out in the process of training the day after tomorrow, becomes a star who can play, wins many games, and even becomes a business tycoon. In people's consciousness, if they want to win too much, they can't win, so they have to find an idol as a counterpart, and after empathy, they are happy to see the idol win, just like seeing their favorite children win awards. And capital is to take advantage of people's psychology and take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Football itself is just something to kick and play, and if you don't know how to work when you play it, is it a plaything?If it were in ancient times, it would have been judged like this. By now, football has developed into an industry, and with a huge industrial scale, it is no longer called a plaything, and people who play football are not called playthings. For the average person, even if they play a lot of tricks, they will not make money from it. For football players, playing football well, they can make a lot of money, but they don't necessarily win awards. In particular, Chinese football players have become pioneers of marketization after market-oriented operation. Even the football players of the national team are not necessarily very skillful, and even earn tens of millions of dollars a year, becoming a rich man, and they are not as good as the football players of the country that is fighting, which is disappointing. The football game that I once played in a big western city was extremely disappointing. The Afghans, who were still fighting, organized a group of players to play football in the big cities of western China, and against them were the players of our national team, and in the end it was the Afghan players who won, and they were so poor that they could only go to the night market to buy a vest for a dozen yuan a piece, and they had to calculate the amount of money, so as not to have enough money to go back and buy plane tickets. The contrast between Chinese players is multimillionaires, but they can't win a decent football game. There are also Chinese football players who went to Vietnam to play football, just the accompanying luggage was transported by several planes, and even the furniture was brought over, the lineup was luxurious, and those who didn't know thought it was the prince of the Middle East who wanted to travel, but they were kicked down and still lost. It can be seen how ridiculous the football game that has been operated by capital is!
And football itself is not very meaningful, if you play it often, it will be a plaything. Even if the current society is more tolerant, if a person often plays football and does not go to work to earn money, it is considered not to be a proper job. As for the chaotic life of football players, if they don't play football well, they can only be regarded as going to work, rather than going all out to start a business. Look at the fat and lazy wolves in the zoo, and then look at the skinny ** wolves in nature, and you will know what is going on when the athletes who play football can't win.
Football requires teamwork, and that spirit is artificial, not innate. In fact, football is a kind of ball game, people can play how they like to play, once it joins the commercial operation, it itself seems ridiculous. Winning and losing have been given too much content, and even the inside story is heavy, so it doesn't make much fun.
