I have 30+ yo mates who have never been a gamer and still technically know so little about their biggest hobby (footy). Just look at channels like Sky and how the most stupid failures of managers are now pundits criticizing the very best active managers using similarly stupid superficial logic. Football is getting more complicated and many are just too damn stupid to keep up. Specially in recent years, it’s been more obvious than ever. The best keepers or strikers of an era say shit like “keepers shouldn’t play it short by feet” or “strikers shouldn’t tire themselves working too muchnfor the team”…
TLdR; In all fields whenever there is a relatively sudden evolution, there are some who can’t handle it and get stuck in the past. Football used to be an easy to grasp hobby for all ages, it’s only natural that number is quite larger here.
