NEW YORK - Quarantined soccer fan Damien Oakes stated that he is now on week 3 of trying to see if he has a personality that extends beyond being a soccer fan as he tried to see if he was interested in painting, this week.

“I’ve tried baking, cooking, home renovation, reading, and watching Wrestling,” stated Oakes to The Nutmeg News. “This week I’m going to try painting, writing, trying to play guitar and watching opera.”

According to his Facebook and Twitter page, Oakes entire life has revolved around soccer for as long as his records exist.

“I just attend games, watch games on the weekend, play games in rec league, watch games during the week, play futsal, and in this country soccer runs year round,” stated Oakes. “I watch MLS, USL, and the US Open Cup during the spring, summer and fall, the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A during the fall, winter and spring. Sometimes I even like to pad out my life with a little A-League, and maybe even some special events like Boca/River or the Eternal Derby.”

Friends state that they’ve never done anything with Oakes that didn’t involve soccer.

“I’m not even certain if he wants a girlfriend,” stated friend Connor King. “The last girlfriend he had broke up with him because he would go out to watch games at a bar on Saturday morning and come home drunk, then sober up so he could watch games in the afternoon and evening. It’s literally all he does.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Oakes starts to realize that if he just keeps up with this whole charade he can get back to having no life other than soccer in a month or two.
