I would certainly say for some people this is true. They take sports too seriously, spend too much money and time fantasizing and analyzing the sport/athletes. I enjoy sports because it is entertainment. I also like playing the sports i watch and enjoy the competitive nature and comroderty. That translates when I watch the best play of tv. Some of the emotion transfers over. Tribalism also plays a role, but I agree people need to be more balanced in their lives. So much more then just sports.Thanks for the opinion. Also may I suggest a post where you introduce yourself?
