I was scrolling mindlessly through social media the other day when I saw a mildly popular content creator’s post. In it he specified the soccer teams he supported, categorizing them as “Likes”, “Dislikes”, and “Soft Likes”. “Soft Likes” was essentially the group of teams that one supports casually, or has a natural affinity for despite not paying as much attention to or really knowing about. It’s a concept that many fans can relate to, but what struck me was the lack of a “Soft Dislikes” category. A place for a team that simply irks you, not for any particular reason or rivalry, just one that puts a bad taste on your mouth.
