Given that millions of people don't like football, it's hardly an unpopular opinion.
Now my sister in law's opinion on football is quite unpopular. She says that straight men who don't like football are in fact closet homosexuals, and are not to be trusted. Not because she doesn't trust homosexuals, but she doesn't trust people who lie about their sexuality.
She sounds nice. Now my sister in law's opinion on football is quite unpopular. She says that straight men who don't like football are in fact closet homosexuals, and are not to be trusted. Not because she doesn't trust homosexuals, but she doesn't trust people who lie about their sexuality.

That's not an unpopular opinion so much as a prejudice against homosexuals. She's blissfully gone through life meeting and interacting with homosexuals and never known it, because most people don't advertise that information.

Glastonbury is full of people I wouldn't want to be around, too much preaching, virtue signalling and has become what it was supposed to be against.
Glastonbury is full of every kind of person, that’s the beauty of it. It’s not too hard to avoid the political stuff if you don’t want to get involved with it such is the size and diversity of the place.djc206 said:

To the bloke in the barber's shop, today, advocating the return of corporal punishment in schools.
You're a bell-end.
When asked if you were at school when corporal punishment was allowed, you replied, “No.”
You're an even bigger bell-end.
You also said it would do no harm.
Well, I have to ask, “How the fking hell would you know?”
You didn't have Capital Punishment at your school?You're a bell-end.

Also, that is not a solution to bad behaviour, the parents have to raise the kids correctly (not the teachers, it is the parents responsibility).

If mobile phones were banned from the site 2/3rds of the punters wouldn’t go. Insta feed obvs.
Around the Same time, someone I was talking to who had been to Glastonbury for years, said she was going off it, because ‘there were more and more people there with mobile phones’.
How times change!
My unpopular opinion? Oasis were extremely average. You risked being lynched if you expressed that opinion at their height.

I wonder what she would make of a straight guy, who doesn’t support a team, doesn’t get passionate about it, doesn’t go on about it non-stop when in the pub, but enjoys a good game?Now my sister in law's opinion on football is quite unpopular.
