This. For many sports becomes a large portion of ones culture of sorts. All of my family and friends are diehard Royals and Chiefs fans, and for many who move away we still keep in touch and discuss our teams on almost a daily basis. To milkman point, my closest bonds to my dad and grandfather also had to do with sports, and them coaching me and bonding over the teams we followed. As one who's travelled and worked across the US, sports are not pretend, they are a part of what makes you who you are and how people get to know one another. There is a big difference for sports fan watching Cleveland or Kansas City celebrate a championship versus NYC.
When you start thinking like you are life can lose its luster. Cheer up, not everything has to be a world changing event.
