so true ...
"It’s all entertainment in the end, and unless you were actually there participating in some fashion, it really isn’t “
your” team, and “
we” didn’t really win, did we?" ..... good post!

.... I think people are all the time looking to "belong" somewhere - whatever it takes to make them feel part of "something" be it a football team, political party, etc.
But it's just like you said - It's all entertainment in the end
