What are your "controversial" opinions that go against popular opinions in the UK?

I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

Isn’t it a lot to do with how easy it is to start playing? All you need is something ball shaped and a wall or a bit of grass .You don’t need to terraform a whole area like golf, for example.

So it’s got no barrier to entry which means people of a lower socioeconomic disposition can play it and they are often disproportionately stressed and angry

Possibly, but I think it’s just the simplicity of the game, it’s extremely easy to understand and there’s “local” teams where you’re more likely to feel an attachment to.

But you don’t see this with tag, or even bulldog, both of these have an even lower barrier to entry.

I would also hazard a suggestion that other simple sports, such as rugby, don’t have as violent following from supporters.
