Talk to anyone who counts themselves a massive fan of a team and you’re bound to hear some of the same ideas and feelings come up: the excitement that comes with wins, the disappointment of losses, sure, but more than that, a sense of belonging, of comradeship or even family, maybe even of home. It’s tricky, though, to pinpoint where those feelings start. It’s a little like Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, who “cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation” of his love for Elizabeth.
