I'd be really f***ed off.
I can't wait to take my boy to football and show him and his friends my mad skillz.

People would still kick a ball round.

Economy would collapse. Riots in the streets, Sky TV would shut down. Armagedon as the vast majority of the population would only have beer to talk about rather than beer and football. Grim thought.

People would turn off their TV sets and go do something less boring instead.

i was going to say "The world would be a better place" but that's not true, as the idiots would just latch on to something else...

We'd wonder wtf happened the football. I mean, how the hell can a game watched and played by billions of people just cease to be?! Was it some kind of god who just made a sport/business disappear? What does this mean about religion? What else might just disappear from our lives? Might engineering cease to be? Could beans suddenly be no more? What would it mean for the iDave diet?

There are deep ontological and epistemological questions to be answered!

God, it'd be awful, just imagine it: muppets like Wayne Rooney just wandering the streets looking for something to kick. ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

People who like football would find something else to argue about.
People who don't like football would find something else to be self-righteous about.

Also, what CaptJon said ๐Ÿ˜‰

Looks like it's about to happen in the South Side of Glasgow...

After a period of severe withdrawal symptoms football fans would explore other cultural activities. Perhaps opera and ballet would see a resurgence of interest? Britian would cease to be a cultural backwater occupied by intellectual pygmies and become a beacon of light to the thinking nations of the world.

Maybe.

the nature of knowledge - we'd question how we knew what we knew. what we take for granted/knowable etc. If things we knew existed, suddenly didn't, we'd be pretty freaked out.

snobby tossers on this thread would have to find another sport they dont like and be dismissive of the fans of that instead?
They would be lost without this smugness and sense of superiority and then disappear up their own arses?

I don't understand, everything in the whole wide world is LESS boring than bloody football.
I've actually watched paint dry & been paid for it, which was less boring.
