So many people get wrapped up in "their" team; sad when they lose, elated when they win, despite the fact that they have done absolutely NOTHING to affect the outcome of the game. "We won!" No you didn't. A team won that just so happens to be working for the city that you happen to be living in. And what makes people like a certain team? They may play for your city, but they'd be just as happy to play for an opposing city for more money.

So why are all women wrapped up in soap operas?

Please work on your grammar. It is absolutely horrible.

It's entertainment. Plain and simple.
 
The same reason people race matchsticks in water streaming down the street. Human beings are competitive by nature. MY team won is just like MY matchstick won. In both cases you did nothing for it to win and they both don't know who you are. But since we are such competitve beasts, we feel good about it. The team I chose won!

Go Yankees!

Go Giants!
