FOOTBALL … STILL NOT STOPPING
Footballers are paid a lot of money – rather like people who excel in any field of human endeavour, never mind in the world’s most global industry. But unlike the best singers, actors and politicians, footballers work for us, the profundity of their joy in all this so complete as to render them immune from physical or mental fatigue. Consequently, it makes perfect sense that, after a long season – punctuated for the first time by a winter World Cup because footballers also work for human rights-abusing nation states – they must now schlep their carcasses through an international weekend that isn’t even a weekend, halfway through June with the European summer at its height. Quite what this means for the Marbellan alcopops industry is hard to say, but at least we’re being granted a break from the Jack Grealish meme-able content industry, hilarious though it is. Man likes Tin! Man has hair! Whatever next?!
