As flies are to wanton boys we are to the gods.
They kill us for the sport.
Soon the science will not only be able to slow down the ageing of cells; soon the science will fix the cells to the state. And so we become eternal. Only accidents crimes and wars will still kill us. But unfortunately crimes and wars will multiply. I love football.

Memes and jokes aside, he's saying that in the future genetic research will eliminate possible diseases and slow down ageing, in turn making us immortal. Thus, the only way for us to die would be by accidents, crimes, or war, and therefore they would become more commonplace. He said "I love football" as an finalizing play-on, meaning he loves football because it brings people together.
Isaac King
The fact that we have to take a second look at what he said shows how high IQ his speech was. I didn't understand a single thing at first.

There is also the parallel between "divine sport, which the gods kill us for" and "I love football". I am too small-minded to understand the meaning behind such a device - but I think that wise man advocates us to embrace the destiny, to praise the gods and entrust our lives to glorifying them. Praise Jesus.

This, I unironically thought he was drunk or something.

Seems like he is praising God.
"As flies are to wanton boys we are to God's" emphasizes that we are insignificant flies in the face of God.
"They kill us for the sport"
God sees us as nothing compared to him and if he shall wishes, he has the power to end our life as though hunting us for mere sport.
"Science slows down aging, we become eternal'
Means we become a type of god- something he probably thinks is unnatural as we are ruining the sport that God plays in taking us naturally from the earth.
"Wars still kill us, wars will multiply"
He is implying that if health issues don't kill us, wars and crime and accidents will still act as the great leveler and return us to God's hands one way or another. He implies that a death of old age is better than the more horrific forced deaths related to war and conflict.
Joseph Jones
Does he celebrate the beauty of what football means to humanity
Or is it ironic
Bentley Nelson
You're trying too hard. That's not what he was doing at all.
Leo Turner
Wonton boys

wanton means that the boys are cruel and malicious it implies that the boys abuse the flies as the gods abuse us

The God's kill us for fun much like naughty boys kill flies for fun.
Hudson Allen
>The gods kill us for sport, but soon not even gods will be able to kill humans. Only humans will. Crimes and wars will escalate and accelerate due to this newfound pseudo-immortality. Despite this, my love of football persists. Such is the depth of my love for the game.
Translated for you lads.
Isaac Edwards
It really is a fantastic speech. I'm in love. Should I read Shakespeare?
Samuel Anderson
Straight outta wanton
Luke Gomez
nice speech faggot. now what the hell does that have to do with football?
t. spurs fan you tried to kick
Logan Perry
You just rephrased my above frog post. I cracked it first. People in the YouTube comments think his speech is a crack at UEFA and government in general but that's not the case
Benjamin Myers
I think he meant that he wishes he could ways play football. Unfortunately he aged before it could be stopped so now he can't enjoy football anymore. Kinda sad.
William Sanchez
he's a socialist. Yea Forums hates him, surely?
Luke Clark
Yes, especially the tragedies and the sonnets.
