How Sports Infect Your Brain
- brudgers 14y ago>"Let’s face it, the ritual of dressing in special attire, wearing colors signifying a tribal-like affiliation, and paying top dollar for the right to watch people we’ve never met play a game for our amusement, is quite frankly, weird." People use special attire for all sorts of rituals, from church attendance to clubbing. Tribalism is normal...or rather one's tribalism appears normal while another person's may appear weird - trousers are not inherently superior to a kilt or loincloth, except that they won't get one fired from their job at the bank (and how weird is working in a bank in terms of human history?).
