Would Marcus Aurelius Watch Premier League Football?

[@iirovaltonen4258]

Of course, there is no pain like being a football fan when your team loses. Perfect for practicing stoicism.

[@unentirelyinsincere]

all man united fans are students of babylon is what im hearing

[@iirovaltonen4258]

@unentirelyinsincere Yes, I know their suffering. Regards, a Chelsea fan

"How Julius Ceasar conquered Gaul by implementing a 4-2-3-1 with Inside Forwards and overlapping Fullbacks"

[@stephenhyland4256]

Surely being from Rome he'd be a Lazio fan. Could see him on the curva leading the ultras

[@SamuelBasciu]

No He would be a roma fan

[@miniredin527]

​@SamuelBasciuI can imagine him promoting Totti to General or godlike status

[@BigKC3]

Lazio dont play in the premier league though, so it is outside of the scope of this essay.

[@user-vt3qw5ql8b]

​@@BigKC3it'd be interesting to know whether he aould watch a premier league side go up against roma or lazio,like tottenham-roma.Another question is,if he discovered football from the premier league and supported a premier league team,would he still do so upon discovering rome has football teams too or would he go back to his roots.

[@OrlandoOrtiz570]

​@@BigKC3 the video is stupid on its face for that fact.

[@Tubechard]

I think this is honestly the only video essay on KZbin that I've willingly watched from start to finish. Loved it.

[@andre20005]

if he supported man united he would forget about stoicism and self-control

journal entry no. 488, "observe the game not for the sake of victory or defeat, but for the skill and effort of those who play. remember, it is but a fleeting spectacle, as all things are."

[@carltonleboss]

As a Fulham fan, this is brilliant.

[@FPL_worm]

For years I've tried to know what would aurelius eat at half time in creven cottage

[@mrpseudonym893]

He’s an emperor so probably the prawn sandwiches

[@pooroldnostradamus]

I used to think Marcus would be craving a sausage at Craven Cottage, but alas.

[@AwnRehani]

"Don’t waste time arguing about what makes a good player. Be one. Unless you’re playing for Spurs-then maybe argue a little, because trophies aren’t doing the talking." "Remember: the obstacle is the way. If your defense crumbles, let it teach you resilience. If your striker misses an open goal, remind him he’s not painting the Sistine Chapel. And if you’re Arsenal, well… patience is your greatest virtue."

[@heatproofedwrens]

This was a wonderful video. You did the Empire proud.

[@christopherflux6254]

He would be a Spurs fan, because he would find plenty of opportunity to test his Stoic virtues. Basically you have to be a Stoic to be a Spurs fan.

[@FPL_worm]

Muniz just scored a last minute winner. Congratulations Aurelius

[@samhutchinson6517]

This is an outstanding video Tom. Great humor and you have clearly exceptional knowledge of Stoicism and Aurelius. However as an Arsenal fan, I know the shuffle Iwobi makes before taking on a player in a 1v1 situation would spark a rage inside even the most stocic of men

[@pshr2447]

Now this is CONTENT

[@saccuber2998]

This is what men want to know.

[@ThinkingFootball]

This is ridiculous - I love it

[@majesty2430]

legendary vid

[@Patrick_co]

this has been playing on my mind for so many years. thank you for answering whether marcus aurelius would watch premier league football, my mind can finally rest

[@nonobobo4606]

Thank you KZbin algorithm

[@Miki-li9op]

This has to be spoken about more often. Good stuff👍

[@qworkus3539]

excellent work

[@zeblackfox]

We need more of this ......🎉😂😅😂 fking golden

[@FC-ju9et]

Imma be honest, when this popped up in my youtube recommedations, my literal reaction was 'what the heck is that idea'. Watching the video, it was a brilliant analysis and entering into the topic, it can become very interesting and incredibly attractive for all football fans. The historical thinking, the evidence from other sources and based analysis, everything greatly executed. Well done mate, all the best!

[@qq-bu2pz]

beautiful insights, him as a fulham fan is perfect

[@adamw7777]

Thank you, I was very curious about this. But would Caligula watch Bundesliga?

[@playboicvrti]

I don't know if I could picture a lad that casually takes LSD going to Fulham matches having some hotdogs and a pint of guiness to be as calm and collected as him

[@yoya8191]

More please!😂

[@TY-sx3jb]

Incredible content 🔥

[@diverse_load]

The ancient sport that would most resemble the footy is probably chariot racing which was the most popular sport among the masses

[@laurentbrutsch-430a2]

THE QUESTION OF THE CENTURY SOLVED!

[@sph270]

New viewer and immediately upvoted purely for the concept

[@morgan.vincent]

this is gold lmao

[@timtyber]

Literally was talking to my man Marcius (that's what I call him because we're mates) he says he more of a rowing fan but enjoys watching Burnley from time to time.

[@carltonleboss]

Craven Cottage is right by the river, so he can watch the rowing as well!

[@simbacaned]

I thought that this question would just be complete conjecture, but you know what? I recon you are objectively correct about everything you said.

[@scottcricks3949]

genius format

[@veliborvasovicofajax5358]

HEd be a proper Millwall fan!!!!!!!!

[@jakejulian7452]

Awesome content man, this was a really entertaining thought and analysis that gave me a good smile today :)

[@RedVandalf]

I bet he would, but his reactions to the matches would be a little bit STOIC 😅

[@pooroldnostradamus]

The real question is would Marcus Aurelius make it into Amorim's starting XI or be left to warm the marble bench?

[@fillipe4700]

Thanks, I really needed that

[@richyq8786]

he would own a team...

[@unentirelyinsincere]

imagine preaching stoicism at man united fans and getting ur head bashed in at trafford as antony does another spin move and misplaces a back pass to the fullback where bruno gets a red for demolishing someones achilles heel

[@c.augustedupin8860]

marcus aurelias would've been a Liverpool fc fan.

[@MrFirefox]

If only the premier league was still like gladiator fights. That united wolves match was a joke

[@OrlandoOrtiz570]

A Roman Emperor would watch Serie A

[@reddevilsunited_2060]

That is a very interesting question lmfao. 😂

[@umirf1]

hahahaha this is immense

[@SKITAHOOD]

This video should be 30 mins

[@marazali1816]

I love living in the 21st century sooooo much

[@pranidsubedi2187]

Hahaha, wonderful

[@condemnedpotbelly8491]

You mean would he watch the Serie A?

[@galyaanpongaimaran2375]

man what am i watching

[@ht8083]

Nah mate. Serie A of course.

[@tan3092]

wouldn't it be Chelsea ? bang centre London Hyde park Kensington

[@riperr384]

No
