Background
Rage and controversy tactics in football discussion have become widespread as a result of social media. Gary Neville is symptomatic of this with many people online complaining his punditry is of poor quality, lacks nuance and adds little value to footballing discourse. He seems to prioritize narrative leading agendas which focus on controversy rather than the actual football. Paying customers deserve quality analysis. Football fans are tired of tired of his troglodyte analysis.
