[QUOTE="Tiffany, post: 2222, member: 45"] [USER=1]@Retro[/USER] Sports has been very big in my family, because both my husband and I have a competitive athletic past; and still value fitness. There does come a time where there just isn't enough time to watch everything you want to watch. We enjoy good movies rather then the sports we favor, unless there's something really big that can't be missed. My husband, boxing, totally, along with MMA. Me, figure skating, but I'm not enthused anymore because the sport has been tainted by a lot of controversy in too many areas that make it "yuck" for me to watch....sigh.. Tribalism comes naturally, as you have observed, [USER=52]@Arantor[/USER] , because I believe it's natural for humans to be part of a group somewhere and everyone can speak that group's sports language and stats. On losing teams, The Dallas Cowboys (American Football), have been losing for twenty years, but they are still considered America's team. Go figure? [/QUOTE]
