Apology posts
I’ve been a casual world soccer fan my whole life and only just devoted myself to the sport within the last league season. At this point I follow the EPL/UCL with as much fervor as I do the NBA/MLB/NFL.
One thing I’ve picked up on is the hilarious apology posts after a poor performance, something you RARELY see in American sports. I just watched my club, Liverpool, play awfully against Villa, and then Andy Robertson (who didn’t even play lmao) posts on IG about how this is a “performance which sums up our season.”
Maybe it’s just indicative of how disappointing this year has been for LFC, but I’ve seen a comical amount in the past few months. And I definitely notice it for other clubs’ players.
It always comes back to the fans, which I appreciate. It certainly shows a deep level of care and passion—just something I’ve never really noticed in American sports.
Any thoughts on this? Simply on my mind.
