I can't really think of anything to add here. Aside from the fact I agree completely.
It's worse in Scotland though, because there's the whole schadenfreude aspect of supporting whatever team are playing against England - culturally accepted racism is still racism - and then all the adverts on TV for products that are backing England.
I have tried many times to think of something I care less about that football. And.......I can't. Football really is the thing in the world I care least about. At least rugby I hate enough to have a strong opinion on. Football just makes me go "meh?" and head off for a swim or a walk or something.
