Rant number 185
Now, to start off with - i don't mean diving here as in the athletic sport. I have nothing against people who want to throw themselves off of perfectly good terra firmer from a great height, into water far below.
They're weirdo's, but you can't hold it against em'. Everyone needs a hobby.
Neither, do I have anything against people who like to go to the bottom of the sea with a bottle of air on their backs, to poke sharks. Once again - not my cup of tea, but certainly not something to cause me a great deal of annoyance.
I have another type of diving in mind entirely.
Now, I'll be honest that football is not my cup of tea. Last week however, on holiday with my step-father who does like his football, I was able to watch with moderate enjoyment, the latter stages of the Euro's.
I'm pretty sure you understand which kind of diving I'm referring to now huh?
Professional football players, really can be quite shamefully pathetic. They wear shin pads, they have experience on their side and yet, they dive like a stabbed thespian every time someones foot strays anywhere near them.
I mean, really? Is there any need. In other sports (such as rugby,) men with split lips, bleeding legs and a mild concussion fight on. Have football players no shame?
The Italians particularly, really could ham it up as a man.
What I particularly liked about the way they dive too, is that they manage to make it look dramatic - but fall in such a way that they are not actually hurt. Sneaky Italian bastards!
Football players of the world: you need to man up - you big girls: and stop fucking diving!
Rant over.
