[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You obviously didn't grow up as a sports fan.  Which is fine, but it limits your frame of reference.  When you follow a team for an entire season, or multiple seasons, you develop an attachment to them, and you DO care whether they win or lose.  For you, it's a one-time, three hour event - for fans of the sport, and particular teams, it's a multi-year commitment.

That said, if you're not a kid - maybe a teenager - I think it's ridiculous to cry when your team loses.  Or, in the case of Maryland fans, riot.    [/quote]

OP here. Not true.  I did grow up as a sports fan.  I remember watching the World Series with my dad in 1980 when the Phiilies won, I remember the celebration with Tug McGraw on the mound, I remember jumping up and down and screaming when they won....but I was 11!!  I can't imagine myself as a 47 year old woman acting that way for ANY team (unless a family member is playing).  It's very bizarre.  And why do people care enough about these random players on the teams to follow their lives or stats?[/quote]
