Why would anyone get the other switch. It is so meh.

Because each joycon being a different colour is WEIRD! I like symmetry.

I know that most footballers are big fans of Nintendo systems because Handheld games are the only kind of games they can play due to their busy schedule, I found out when I read about Paul Pogba's love for Pokémon

Clearly a marketing deal but this is exactly what Nintendo should be doing.

Wonder how the Switch does at making a ad hoc wifi group for multiplayer on their plane... and I wonder would Nintendo be responsible if it makes the plane crash with that same wifi killing a football team, could be bad pr for um :D

OR there's something wrong with his teammates.

The way I see it the TV feature was it's most important.  They created a handheld by today's tech standards.  Basically what the vita would have been if it had a succesor.  

OT: 

good marketing ploy by Nintendo.  They've advertised in the past with footballers and they still are.  Must feel they get a good return from it. 

Nice.

To be fair their wages could buy over a thousand switches every week.

I think it's more the marketing draw as footballers have many fans and admirers striving to be like them.
