Why do we love football?

There are a lot of people who love football, even if they play badly.
I think, probably not in love with football, but in love with that sense of identity.
What is a sense of identity? Psychologically speaking, the weaker the sense of existence, the more need for identity. This is because people who have evolved from ancient times are still social animals, and they cannot live without the crowd. They only belong to a highly unified group. In a social environment, they gain a sense of security. From Maslow's hierarchy of needs, only with a sense of security can people feel at ease to fight for greater rights and gain love and respect.
For some people with a weak sense of existence (commonly known as: Diaosi), the fastest way to gain recognition is to label themselves, and football, a borderless sport, has naturally become their favorite.
For football, this kind of confrontational competitive sports needs the physical strength and speed of the people who have never changed. If you are fast enough and powerful enough, you are a hero on the court. If you don't have speed and power, you still have the support of your teammates. You will cheer together in victory and cry together in defeat. In this kind of team sports, there is no me, only us.
So we like football, so, only in such a world can there be a miracle of diaosi counterattacking the rich and handsome, are you a genius? So what! Let's fuck you together!
"Challenger League" is not just a movie about sports, challenge, rescue, blood and emotion, it clearly conveys a message: on the battlefield of life, no individual is invincible, relying on everyone The power, we can have the last laugh!

    Narrator: At the dawn of time, a profound discovery was made about our planet. It was boring. But boredom makes you think. And thinking gives you ideas. And what was the first idea? I'll tell you what the first idea was. "Must... kick... ball." Soccer made us compete. And soccer made us work together. More or less. In other words, it made us... human. Soccer isn't just a game. It's who we are.
