#10. It is too commercial.   Every time I get the notion to drop in on a game, it costs me money.

#9. I attended for years but the coach never paid me a visit.

#8. Nobody ever asked me to play, or even spoke to me.

#7. The seats were too hard, and it was always too warm or too chilly.

#6. The field judge said things I couldn't agree with.

#5. It is too hypocritical.   Some of the fans were obviously more interested in food and drink than in the game.

#4. Some people came just to be seen.

#3. Sometimes children became unruly and failed to pay attention to the game.

#2. The band played tunes I didn't know.

#1. I have bought a book about football.   I can stay home and read it, or watch it on TV, and I figure I'm still just as good a fan as anybody.   Besides there are plenty of others who attend the games and buy enough tickets to keep the thing going.
