Is football still popular with the younger as before in england?

Interesting question. I actually think the interest in football is decreasing with the younger generation. Kids now are all trendy & skinny & have that weird, shaved at the sides fluffy on top hairstyle going on. They care more about how they look than a gritty slide tackle in the sleet & rain

Have you seen the famous footballers of nowadays? They wear more hair product that I do and care far too much about fashion. That and they fall over if a breeze so much as touches them. You cannot blame the decrease in interest on todays 'trend'. I would say that rugby is becoming increasingly popular actually.

I think football is becoming less popular but I would imagine it is more to do with the racism, homophobia and sexism that seems to link itself with football somewhat more than other sports.. That and they get paid a ridiculous amount and people are starting to realise maybe it's a bit too much. I wouldn't say it's only the young generation though, I know a lot of older men and women who aren't interested.

Footballers have changed with society; men used to be more butch so footballers were too but now fare more men care far about having styled hair and fashion, footballers now reflect that. To say that rugby is becoming more popular because footballers are getting softer and rugby remains a 'man's' game is slightly sexist which is ironic considering what you went on to say.

Here we go again, 'footballers get paid too much' - they get paid based on what their industry is worth

I never said why I thought rugby was becoming more popular, I simply said that it does appear to be. All of this of course is based on what people in my area seem to be into. I speak to more and more people who aren't into football any more, I just listed some of the possible reasons.

I'm sorry, but the money thing is something I will never be able to understand.. I honestly can't get my head around why anyone should be paid that much unless they are saving countless lives or something haha

Sorry if I offended anyone, perhaps I didn't word it as well as I could have done. Football at the moment is undeniably getting a lot of bad rep in terms of sexism etc though. If it continues like it is in the media at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me if it's popularity did decline. It would be interesting to see a proper poll on this though if anyone has seen anything like that?
