Why do we do this? Why do we pull for our teams? Is there anything more insane in the entire world than being a sports fan? What do we possibly get out of it? As I fully transitioned into adulthood a few years ago, I often questioned why the heck I cared so much. It was absolutely foolish to invest so much financially, emotionally, and psychologically just for the off chance that the team I rooted for would raise a trophy above their heads one day and I could vicariously celebrate through the physical accomplishments of people I had never met in my life.
