Around the world more and more women are joining hands in the fight against football madness. I’m not quite sure if it’s a hoax or for real, but I do know some women who actively support the campaign.
Romantic getaways have been replaced by jeering and other loutish and boarish behaviour over 22 men who have nothing better to do than running around on a field, kicking a ball back and forth for no apparent reason. Is that what separates us from the animals?
We women are being deluged with all things white and red! Enough already!It has to be put to an end.
Here and now.
It has gone too far.
The fun of it has worn off already.
We cannot be silent any longer: love forgives only so much!
At first I was pointed to the Dutch version of the site, but since there’s an English version available for the UK as well, I’ll quote from that page. Here are some of the eleven rules the women propose:
4. A ball in the house = A ball less elsewhere.
5. Each and every hour of televised football will have to be compensated with two hours of Sex and the City / Friends / Desperate Housewives. Prime Time.
7. Each goal scored by England will have to be compensated with one afternoon of shopping. At man’s expense.
9. Watching the games with your mates down local boozer will have to be followed by a breakfast served in bed the next morning. For which you will be clean, shaven and sober.
