Sports mad
by Sara Collins
They often have advice for some of the world’s top referees and international football managers. They have opinions (usually negative) on most of the world’s major football players. They can remember more scores than TV football commentators.
And they probably haven’t kicked a ball since primary school. Yes, it’s that strange beast, the armchair football fan. In the same way that the back seat driver gives instructions to the driver in the front seat but may not even have a driving license, the armchair football fan knows how to win every match but was probably the last person to be chosen for the school football team. My brother is a very good example. Like all his friends, Ross never leaves the house without his football shirt, scarf, tracksuit trousers and trainers. Looking at him, you might think he was on his way to football training at the stadium.
But no, the only exercise Ross does is when he occasionally has to run for the bus in the morning. He often complains that he has no head for remembering facts and isn’t interested in History and yet he can remember that Aberdeen beat Lech Poznan 3–0 in the 1983 European Cup, twelve years before he was even born.
He can remember who scored the second goal in the third match of last season but he finds it hard to memorize a few words for his French vocabulary tests. Is it just a harmless obsession? In most cases, it probably is. I’m certainly not too worried about Ross at the moment. But we mustn’t forget that there’s also a more worrying side to being an armchair fan. Doctors say that you should exercise for at least half an hour, three times a week but statistics suggest that armchair sports fans are some of the unhealthiest people around and many are unwilling to exercise at all. What’s more, watching sport can make you ill. Amazingly, doctors at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the city’s major hospital, had to treat more than 150 patients who got ill while watching football at home during the 1998 World Cup. Problems included asthma, hyperventilation, heart attacks, temporary deafness and even mental problems. Similarly, researchers in the Netherlands found that the number of men who had heart attacks went up fi fty percent on the day of an international football match. So it seems that although sport is good for us, being sports mad probably isn’t.
