Almost any subject you care to think of (and a lot more besides)
will arouse different levels of interest in different people. I'm
interested in industrial and social history and archaeology. I'm
well aware that leaves some people totally cold. Fair enough I don't
thrust it down their throats and in the same way I don't want to be
confronted with football at every turn.

Regardless of anyone's levels of interest in archaeology, I don't
think it would *ever* create the passion, excitement and emotion that
one regularly gets being a football fan - or many other sports for
that matter. It's simply not the same.

Exactly, it's not the same. But doesn't the idea of handling something that
made x hundred years ago or used by people who lived n thousand years ago
spark any interest in you?

The real sports fans (as
opposed to inevitable large tournament bandwagoners), aren't just
"interested", in their sport, they're nuts about it, they're
passionate in a way in which they like to show.

As is anyone with a high level of interest in their subject.

You misunderstand the "issue" I (and many others) do have. I have no
objection to football, not other people interest in it (at what ever
level). I simply don't want to be expected to have an an interest
and be treated like some sort of killjoy when I protest about being
force fed it.

Well you are. You're a miserable sod *because* you protest about it.

But why should those of us with no interest not be allowed to live our lives
without having someone else's interest forced upon us? What happened to live
and let live?

Let other people have their fun ferrchisakes,

I'm perfectly happy for other people to do what ever they like as long as
it's legal (mostly) and doesn't affect me.
