Because Football Is Entertainment, at least for us fans. Otherwise you wouldnt prevent yourself from doing other stuff just to watch that single Derby. Why? Because you want to see a good football game. You want to see a good spectacle.
And tell me the truth, when you're a neutral and you're watching a crappy game, you WILL change the channel to see if there's something better to watch (unless its Juve playing). Even if it's another football game.
thats why i dont watch other games if im not interested.
i only watch important games like UCL finals or semi's or WC finals if my team isnt in it because, well, those are important games.
i also watch milan games because i want to see them lose. or inter games because i like to watch them suffer to tie or win a game. or small teams that have awesome young players like lecce and parma because they play well. but not because they put up a show
its not a show. its a sport.
now answer this to me.
why is there a 70,000 crowd watching 10 guys run a 100 mts?
why is there a huge crowd watching a guy throw a disc?
why is there a huge crowd watching guys swim in a pool?
i dont think those sports are very amusing if you only want to watch an spectacle.
those are sports. people like watching a guy fight to be the first one to arrive, or concentrate the most and be the one that jumps higher. its not a show.
