Quote by John Cleese
I was always a sports nut but I've lost interest now in whether one bunch of mercenaries in north London is going to beat another bunch of mercenaries from west London.
Summary
The quote expresses a personal shift in interest regarding sports, specifically in being invested in the outcome of games between two rival teams. The speaker identifies as a former sports enthusiast but no longer finds importance or excitement in supporting specific teams, referring to them as "mercenaries." This suggests a disillusionment with the commercialized nature of modern sports and possibly a desire to distance oneself from the divisive rivalry that often accompanies it.
