Why Football Is Sometimes Important

Last night was a tremendous evening for English football. Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties at the Allianz Arena to win their first ever UEFA Champion’s League title becoming only the fifth English team to achieve the feat. But across the internet, there were those that dissented. This was not an important evening. This was simply another one of “those football things” that had absolutely no bearing on the world whatsoever.

And it wasn’t just the fact I like football that made me think these people were wrong.
