Ha Ha!! As someone who also has no interest in Football whatsoever, I can't begin to tell you the amount of times I have had to have almost this exact same conversation! The disbelief from the other person and failure to comprehend that someone else neither likes, nor cares about Football is staggering. What is also equally staggering is their almost total inability to talk about anything else!
Yeah. it doesn't bother me that people are into sport and want to talk about it, it's the inability to talk about anything else that gets my goat. And the idea that you are not worth their time or effort if you can't talk about sport.
I lost count the amount of times kids at school, and it was in almost every school I attended in my childhood, asked me about which football team I supported. It was so annoying.
Been there, suffered that. Why can't people get it into their heads that I am not them, and may be interested in other things? But the chattering classes are no better: "Come on mate, yer gotta 'ave a favourite restaurant, novelist, playwright or post-ironic film director!"
@@edmundbloxam2714 "So lessee... yer not into football, overpriced meals in morgues or the moving tale of a Montenegrin hill-farmer's epic quest to find a replacement for his mother-in-law's favourite teapot... well that's everything innit, there can't be anything else to be interested in, can there?"
Yeah but ... "So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance. Left to themselves, like cattle turned loose upon the plains of Argentina, they had reverted to a style of life that appeared to be natural to them, a sort of ancestral pattern...Heavy physical work, the care of home and children, petty quarrels with neighbors, films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult." ~ George Orwell, 1984.

Is your point 'so, you don't have any interests at all then? Do you like...something?'

It's the same here across the pond.
Didn't know Lord Beckett did comic sketches
Maybe he was a Crystal Palace fan and can't stand all the abuse we get...
I share your pain. But we`re "Saarf Lunden an` prowd"!
Welcome to rugby on new Zealand
Feeds a stereotype that people who have no interest in football are intellectually superior
Agreed. The usual Oxbridge sneer
Yeah but ...
