RE: 2013/14 Football Season
It probably stems from posts where you go on about 'armchair' supporters in the Premier League as seen in threads in the past. Prices and number of people going to Premier League games (especially for a team like Liverpool) is much higher than any non league team. Factor in not all football fans actually want to go the game, which is their choice, doesn't make them any less of a football fan. Again, many of us support Liverpool or Everton because we were born in Liverpool and these are the teams that our families support and so on. I come from a family that supports both Liverpool and Everton, had family at Hillsborough and on a happier side, many great Liverpool nights. Liverpool, as with teams such as Man United, Arsenal and teams from top leagues in Europe have massive followings from abroad because those teams were competing at the very top of their sport at that time. This is the same reason Formula 1 is on the TV and not Karting where many of the drivers start out, ditto for all other major sports.

If your team was at the top level of English football you'd probably get a bit tired of these kind of pops too. As previously mentioned, many of us are fans of Liverpool and not fans of Football politics.
