Well, it's too bad I love playing sports, so your theory is flat out wrong. Do you know your history, familiar with gladiators? There's a difference between organized team sport or team activity, which I agree builds character and camaraderie -- and a national tribalist distraction for grown men to get drunk and be outraged at.
I hope we see people use their time away from sports to get involved in their communities, rather than just praising the players who are contractually obligated to do so.
You don't see anything wrong with chearing for devils to win? Sports are some kind of magic brainwashing that makes people stop thinking.
Hear, hear
