Answer:
This seems more like an opinionated question but I will share my opinion to give you extra perspective, I suppose.
In my opinion, football isn't a pointless sport. It's a sport that requires muscle and power (if you're referring to professional football). People that are professionals at football have to spend LONG hours training just for one game. They risk their lives (extreme injuries) for this sport. Football is a sport that has been watched & loved for years. It's a great past time. People around the world sit at their couches just to watch a football game. Yes, it can seem pointless cause it's just a.. sport. But to some it's a huge part of their lives. People love entertainment, especially when it's sports.
