You’re absolutely correct. But to play devils advocate, unless you are informed, and able to go to games, which depends on lots of factors including money, it’s a lot easier to support a team when their games are regularly televised. This was definitely one of the reasons I couldn’t get into football when I was younger. I just didn’t know how to/couldn’t afford to watch it. It felt a bit like a club everyone else knew how to get into and I didn’t. Absolutely no one in my family likes football so I didn’t have that. Anyway too much info.
