The Spirit Behind Football BY ANTONIO WILLIS
T he top flight of English football, the Premier League, ended on the 26th of July 2020 with Liverpool reigning as champions. This championship was their 18th in total and their first since the 1989-90 season. This was an epic moment that Liverpool fans all over the world had been waiting for for 30 long years. And although this moment was celebrated long into the night on the streets of Merseyside by the Liverpool faithful, the fans weren’t
able to watch their team lift the trophy in person. As we all know, because of social distancing there are no crowds of any kind allowed at football matches. The matches themselves haven’t suffered one bit as the players seem to be performing to the same level as they would in normal conditions. The people who are suffering are the fans. Even though the fans are happy to have football back on the TV, they’re still unable to enjoy it to its maximum potential.
