Wow. We are Australia, the great egalitarian society. Any person can come to the football as long as they don’t display dangerous or unacceptable behaviour.
If people don’t know the players, does it matter?
If people are looking at their phones (as long as there is no inappropriate imagery), does it matter?
If people want to sing along to the ground announcer song, does it matter?
If people are waving a cardboard sign with a corporation name on it, that’s fantastic. The corporate sponsors keep wanting to invest in the Swans when that occurs.
Loud conversations on phones can be annoying if people are not considerate of others around them.
Society spends all its time being concerned or outraged about what other people are doing. That’s leading individuals to feel a lack of control in their own lives and subsequently their mental health suffers.
Focus on why you love going to the football, focus on the beauty of the game. Focus on the great escape that football is providing to you.
If you are going to the football it’s all about “you”, not about what others are doing (as long as others behaviour is within acceptable standards).
