Why Do We Care About Sports?

    I'm not sure exactly why we care so much about sports. Maybe it's the sense of pride you get when your team wins. I am a huge Barca fan (football). I have the shirts, the hats, autographed pictures and footballs, etc.
    I definitely don't worship any sport though. However, by the way some people behave at games, follow teams around to different states, and act out when their team loses, I would say that some people definitely are too caught up in the world of sports.
    Please share your though about this? :)

    If you participate in any sports events you have to care, right? But if you don't I think that depends from person to person.

    actually we don't care about our health . if we care about our health then this is a certain factor that we will start caring about the sports.

    Watching a sports game is like watching a movie. There is conflict (team vs team), a battle, drama, sometimes controversy, and a winner at the end. We care more about sports and movies than we probably should, but both provide us with an escape from our normal lives which can be painful, boring, etc. So ultimately we care about sports because they are entertaining like a movie is.

    Sports is a passion of life. If you don't follow sports, life is totally dull.

    Sports have the ability to take ourselves out of our own personal lives for a second and let us live in the moment for a while.

    If we could get into our jobs, homes, and service as much as we in sports the world would become a much better place. Sports are fun to watch but they have built up so much pride in people they are just about as corrupting as the media is.

    I think it all depends on our nature, but in some way or another we all want to support someone or something we believe in. When we put any amount of time into something or someone, we want a positive return on our investment of time. I think that is why mentally we care about sports because it is fun to watch and we get emotionally invested over time.
