Yay footy...
I must say that, as much as non-footy liking people don't like people talking about footy, I hate it when people who don't like footy bang on about how they don't like footy.
But they are not as bad as the one's who decide to like footy every two years when there's a tournament on, coming up to you and asking if you saw the match... then go blank when you start analysing it

it's not that I hate people talking about football
it's that people use it as a conversational starter and it completely trips me up as I have nothing to say other than I don't like it much, so I end up saying nothing and the conversation dies.

That'll trip them up then, reverse psychology & all that.

Tell them you like Bobby Charlston
he was a footballer whose fancy moves led to a dance being named after him.
That football anecdote will make sure they never ask you again :)
