If sports moves you deeply, and you're a grown adult, there's something wrong with you. That energy should be invested in something heavier. Not ersatz butter of pro football or basketball.
Americans have poor character, if you consider front-running a flaw. I do. Look around: why do you think there are so many Pittsburgh and Green Bay fans? How many people do you know who are from Pittsburgh or ever lived there? Green Bay? Yet they have fans all over the country. For only one reason: they're winning. The lower the quality of the man, the greater his desire to associate with "winners" - whether men or teams or corporate brands.
A good example can be found at Plenty of Fish, the free dating site. If you search area codes in the middle of the country, you will find that a few years ago, loads of the profiles had pictures of themselves in St. Louis Cardinals gear. Attending games, wearing hats, tshirts, etc. Then the Kansas City Royals got hot. Won it all one year. All of a sudden pretty much all these same people were now wearing KC Royals clothes. Pure front-running. Pure trendiness and low character. I believe most Americans are like this in 2017. Perhaps most always were. Loyalty is rare.
