I really don't care that much about sports. I used to love basketball, and then my beloved Sonics got taken away. Never been a fanatic though. If they lost, they lost, if they won I was happy. Hell, I even worked at Field of Dreams for a year.
I recently had a 'revelation':
Why can't a guy just watch the highlights? I mean a 3 hour game condensed down to a 5 minute clip of just highlights...ok, so he wants to watch the entire game, because he likes the build-up to the end, he has to watch the plays, how players make their moves. But then, isn't the game just like foreplay? I mean, there is the build up to the 'happy ending' and in that case, it's a sure thing. C'mon guys, women don't like to deal with 'just the highlights'...we want the 3 hours of 'build up to the happy ending'.The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

I think you answered your own question. Gotta love the foreplay, as in four quarters of play!0 -

They are many fans who like sports and teams who root for only winners....they to me are frauds. I root for the teams from my youth in Beantown but more so for THE WAY they play the game and sport.
I played just about all of them from hockey, soccer, all the majors to cricket.
I love to see a nice play even from teams I can't stand, seeing a great defensive effort, a great catch or a nice give and go or a nice glove save in hockey. This to me is understood much more if one has played that sport....it's even better seeing this in person. Great article but I don't agree with it at all.
