10 Reasons Why Skateboarding Is Better Than Football

7. There Aren’t A Series Of Ridiculous Songs That You Have To Learn The Words To

Fair play to football fans, they must send hours coming up with ways to not just crowbar players like Jan Venegoor of Hesselink into songs, but also to get their names to rhyme with something. Impressive. (Former Reading winger Wayne Wanklyn was probably a little easier to work with).

But as football fans are part of a big pack where fitting in is a must, so if you want to do that, you need to learn the complicated words to songs about players that are long retired. Get these wrong and you’ll find yourself shunned on the terraces.

Skateboarding doesn’t adhere to such primeval pack mentality. There are no songs. No chants. No bullshit. Just put some Rage Against The Machine through your headphones and skate.
