As a sports fan, the best way I can describe the appeal of sports is that they are like movies and TV shows, but they are (usually) unscripted and that there are no do-overs. Also, watching a game on TV is different than watching a movie because usually people just sit and watch the movie without talking to each other, but people cheer and yell and groin and discuss the game as it is going on. Going to a game itself is also a very fun experience as you get to feel like part of a huge community.- I think televised sports and people obsessing over their favourite sports teams is bizarre.
Most people follow the teams which play near where they live or used to live. There are some people who just bandwagon and pretend they are fans of the best teams, but most sports fans stay loyal to their teams through the good times and bad.Me too! How exactly do people determine their favorite team? Because they win more? I don't know. I don't watch sports.
