I would give up Spurs long before I'd give up football altogether.
I'll never give up grassroots games, (hopefully) taking my son to practice and games when he's old enough to play for a team, having a kick about with mates, following football as a whole regardless of teams and level and be able to enjoy a match for what it is.
But if Spurs were taken over by Saudis, if Spurs joined a Super League, if the club became so removed from reality or morally reprehensible I would have no problems giving it up. Football has always meant more to me than just my support of one club.
I’m kind of the other way my love for football as a sport has dwindled massively and if Spurs didn’t exist I probably wouldn’t follow the sport at all. Spurs scoring/winning still gives me the biggest high in sport but as a sport in general it’s become pretty dull. Defensive team’s everywhere, same team’s With the biggest spend winning. I feel like I’ve seen it all before and most probably have, its boring and I’ve become numb to it tbh. Even going to my local non league side hasn’t rekindled much, £10-15 for poor quality games just because it’s authentic doesn’t do much for me either.
I’ve been really getting into American Football these last 5 or so years and it’s made me realise our football as a sport is pretty poor. I would of laughed at that thought 10/15/20 years ago as I thought our game was the best sport had to offer but it really isn’t, there are much better out there imo.
