In many ways, sports have a blind faith similar to that of a religion.
In fact, there’s a reason that a ton of people consider sports to be a religion of its own. Whether it’s a prayer storm right before your team’s kicker lines up for a 50-yard game-winning field goal attempt or the endless amount of hope required to believe that “next year is the year,” it’s blind faith all the way around. Short of a couple of teams, it’s rarely rewarded on an annual basis.
