I wouldn't start to like football just because other people do.
Infact, it probably won't help, people may end up called you a "wannabe" for trying to fit in.
Just be cool about it, just say "i don't like football" and leave it as that...i'm sure there's other kids around who don't like football/don't talk about it 24/7.
If they say mean stuff, just be like "what the hell, i don't like football, so what?"
Or if you want, try a different approach. Next time someone asks you a question about it, be like "i've never really gotten into football...explain it to me, just try and get me to like it" or somehting along those lines. That way, if it's a nice guy, they'll tell you about it and him and his friends will leave you alone. If he tells you about it and you don't like it, just say "nah, it's not for me, idk why, i just don't like it" and then they should be like "ok cool."
