One of the stranger aspects of being a sports fan in 2022 is that you are forced to care about so many things that are not directly related to the actual team playing the actual sport that you ostensibly cheer for. If you are a supporter of the Ottawa Senators, for instance, it is very difficult to not be acutely aware of the team’s (seemingly) dire financial situation. Some pay more attention to these things than others, but it’s impossible to completely ignore. You can’t just be a sports fan these days, you have to be an accountant too.
