I’ve always hated football, even the sound of the commentators made me cringe! Then, last Summer, out of curiosity, I watched the England Women’s Team in the World Cup. They were so good, I couldn’t help but appreciate the skill involved. Subsequently, I have become a Liverpool Football fan (My husband’s city and team). No one could be more amazed than me! My ex husband would never believe it. I spent the 29-years of our marriage determinedly avoiding it! I absolutely love watching Liverpool play now, and I know more about the players etc than my husband who is only a moderately committed fan.
As for the BBC, IMO, it really is time that the licence fee was scrapped. It is essentially a tax on people, many of who can ill afford it, whilst their Chief Executive, other senior people and the ‘stars’ rake off millions from it.
