You don't get my point. It is not fulfilling to me to spend that much time passively watching someone else succeed or fail because of my city of birth. My attention span is also very add. Only things like coding or math can hold my attention. I played sports highschool, college and 9 years after. Sports are great when you are a competitor. To be good they have to consume a good portion of your life. Which is fine, you are exerting direct control on the world. As a 45 year old sitting in a pub you have no impact on a team. Nor do you by angrily posting to internet forums or yelling at talk show hosts. Spending 1-3 days a week 3 hours at a time getting very worked up about a thing you have little control over while gathering a side of mild alcoholism isn't great. Being sulky and short with your loved ones isn't either. After college I started watching the nfl. My team was very good senior year, mediocre the next, and a fieldgoal away from greatness. The next year they were dog shit. I noticed I was short with my mom on Sundays which was our hangout time because of nfl. She watched sports so she'd have a thing to talk to us about. I had to step back. The team was purposefully rebuilding. I found new topics to talk to my mom about. I get a lot of home repair, gardening, and side projects done while watching baseball or football in the background. Sports fandom is best when they enrich your like not when they consume it.
