Here's Why You Should Stop Watching Premier League Games





This is not clickbait, I swear!

Disclaimer: Before you hurl insults at me, hear me out. I'm not saying you should never watch Premier League games again. But if you're anything like me, you might be spending a little too much time glued to the screen.
Here are a few reasons why you might want to consider taking a break from the beautiful game:
1. It's a time suck.
Let's be real, Premier League games are long. With 90 minutes of regulation time, plus stoppage time, it can easily eat up three hours of your day. And that's not even counting the time you spend watching pre-game shows, post-game analysis, and highlights.
2. It can be stressful.
I don't know about you, but I get pretty invested in Premier League games. I cheer, I groan, I pace around the room. It's a lot of emotional energy to expend, and it can be downright stressful at times.
3. It can be addictive.
The Premier League is designed to keep you coming back for more. The constant drama, the unexpected upsets, the nail-biting finishes—it's all part of the plan to keep you hooked. And before you know it, you're spending hours of your life watching football.
4. It can be a distraction.
If you're like me, you might find yourself watching Premier League games when you should be doing other things, like working, studying, or spending time with loved ones. And while there's nothing wrong with indulging in a little football every now and then, it's important to make sure it doesn't become a distraction from your other responsibilities.
5. It can be a downer.
Let's face it, not every Premier League game is a thriller. Sometimes, you just watch your team lose, and it can be a real downer. And if you're not careful, you can let those losses ruin your whole day.
So, what's the solution?
  • Set limits for yourself. Decide how much time you're willing to spend watching Premier League games each week, and stick to it.
  • Take breaks. Don't watch every single game. Take some time off to do other things that you enjoy.
  • Find other ways to enjoy football. If you love the game but don't have time to watch every match, there are other ways to get your fix. Read about the latest news, listen to podcasts, or play a game of FIFA.
  • Don't let football control your life. It's just a game. Don't let it take over your life.
I know, I know. This is coming from a guy who loves Premier League football. But I'm also someone who values my time, my sanity, and my relationships. And I've found that taking a break from the game every now and then makes me appreciate it even more when I come back.
So, if you're feeling like you're spending too much time watching Premier League games, don't be afraid to take a break. You might just find that you enjoy the game more when you come back.
