There is still a high level of meaning in Premier League football WAV. Hundreds of thousands of people turn up to celebrate that meaning every week of the season. Because you don't see the meaning, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Try getting down from your usual xenophobic hobby-horse and touring around the various fan message boards for Premier League clubs. Read the passionate outpourings in support of their clubs, and then revisit your argument about lack of meaning.

P.S. Please note that I managed to write eight lines and only used a single (appropriate) hyphen. Try it, you might enjoy it!
