Right?

I mean, I've tried to reason it out in my head, and I come up with zilch. There is no benefit or detriment to my life that is tied to how the Chiefs do. If I worked for the team, then maybe. But I'm just a fan, and a pretty rabid one. I guess it's not just the Chiefs, it's any sports fan. Why the **** do we care so much about something we literally can't control?

We take pride in it...why?
We get into arguments about it...why?
We piss off our spouses because we get profane and pissy when they lose...why?


I'm not even saying it's wrong, but it's mysterious to me...
