football is quite boring

They are providing entertainment which = values to the lives of others. Also many children are often inspired by footballers. Not to mention many footballers do donate a lot to charity

I feel I should let you know by way of balance in that case that a football match once caused a war to break out ! (In Central America )

By the way I really think you should attend a game .
You’ll love it 😁

Yep and it makes fools out of a lot of men. The energy and passion they put into it could change the world but no instead they’ll only cry and be emotive about losing a football match.

Boring AF. Just a bunch of blokes kicking a ball around a field, pretending to be hurt at any given opportunity to gain an advantage. Zzzzz...

Everything can be reduced down to its most basic level. What do you enjoy?

Snooker. Before you retort "it's just some blokes knocking some balls around a table", allow me to retort in advance. There are 7 year old kids all over the world that can pass a ball to their teammates and score a goal with great proficiency. Snooker is infinitely more complicated than that, and to attain such a level of proficiency is beyond what the extreme majority of 7 year olds can even comprehend. It requires years of drilling in one's fundamentals to ensure accurate striking every time - we're talking mere millimetres here, in terms of margin for error. Then there's the years of learning potting angles, more years of learning cue ball speed control, learning common positional shots, how to use spin accurately (which, again, requires pinpoint accuracy and being off by a few mm is the difference between a successful and unsuccessful shot). Then there's the tactical side of the game, learning "patterns" through years of experience, as well as learning defensive strategy again through many years of play.

I find it an outrage that even the most successful of snooker players earn in their whole careers what a football player will earn in a year, when a snooker player has more talent in their little finger than an entire team of football players has put together.

In brief, footballers have to undertake all of those strategies whilst somebody else is trying to stop them.

Do you honestly think that players in football learn the concepts of spin, tactics, operating in one fluid movement as a team and control at speed by the time they are 7?

The easiest comparison is to go and watch the highest level amateur snooker competition you can find and directly compare them against the top level snooker professionals in the world championships . Then go and do the same for football.

Amateur and top level snooker are much closer in ability than amateur and top level football.

Snooker is a closed skill based competition whereby you essentially compete against yourself.

In addition, football is the most widely played sport on the planet so the best players can genuinely be considered the best players in the world. Every other sport is underplayed in comparison, so there is a genuine argument to be had that potentially the best in those minor sports are already playing a different sport.

You see the above all the time in American sports and in the UK you find that a lot of footballers played really high level youth competition in the likes of rugby and cricket but chose football as a professional career.
