We'll have to wait another year for a proper Christmas, says one writer.
s, it’s really falling short when it comes to embodying the merriment normally associated with a global sporting event of this scale. But right up there with the worst of this tournament’s offences is that it is completely ruining Christmas.Under normal circumstances, even those of us who don’t follow sports are happy to have one summer in every four encroached upon by the relentless football-mania that suffocates our towns and cities for the month of the competition.
Add to that the fact that we haven’t actually even had a proper Christmas in two years.
And none of that is to mention the fact that it’s dark by 4pm. Ask any woman or femme identifying person and she’ll tell you that, in the winter, the decision to go out and about when it’s dark outside isn’t one to be taken lightly.
Of course, there will be loads of people for whom the football being on at Christmas is all the more reason to celebrate, and while the game is still undoubtedly gendered, a sizeable minority of those claiming pubs and bars for their own this tournament will be women.
