There's a logic to my stupidity (and I swear I'm funny).

One thing you've amply demonstrated over the past several days is that living isolated from society out of fear of current events/trends is more damaging to your psyche than learning to deal rationally with them (or to ignore them).

From my point of view, you are both nuts because you care about sports teams.

Sometimes it is hard to outgrow youthful fantasies and winter especially for some people reinforces the indulgence.

It's entertainment, often dramatic, a touchstone of American culture and often at the forefront of social change. This would be a different country without Jackie Robinson, Curt Flood, Muhammad Ali, Arthur Ashe, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Don Haskins, Ed O'Bannon, Billie Jean King, Tommie Smith & John Carlos ...

I personally cannot fathom not being interested in sports and part of being interested in sports is having a deliberate bias in favor of and against certain teams. It simply makes it more fun and interesting. Why forego entertainment, particularly entertainment that is a huge part of the American experience?

Kind of what I am thinking also.
