I am currently watching the Kings Jazz game and realizing that some people would say I am obsessed with the whole sports scene. Actually that comment is 100% true. However, I want everyone to understand why I am such a sports fanatic. Let me give you a few reasons:
1) I am ultra competitive and love to play the games and love to see a team I think/want to win win.
2) I somehow find a way to connect myself to the people playing the game. When I pick a team to root for I feel like I am somehow a part of the organization. I then connect myself in a way that others don't. When the team wins I am probably as happy as the players, coaches, owners, and other personnel. When they lose I might be more upset. I don't understand why I take the game so personally but I guess I am just passionate. Secretly I just want to be one of them so I have learned to at least feel their emotions.
3) The more you watch or do something the more you are going to appreciate it. As I continue to play and watch sports my love for the games continues to grow. I appreciate the ability of the athletes I watch and become more competitive when I play. Others are the same way they just have different passions. For example, a musician becomes a greater fan because they understand the talent of other musicians more than a casual listener would. The more movies you see the more you understand good acting and film shooting and editing. If you read a lot you will see more literary tools and understand how powerful they can be. If you play and watch sports you understand how impressive what these people do really is.
All that said my love for sports is still a little crazy. I think I almost died when the Kings came about a shot away from an NBA championship. When my teams, the Kings, 49ers, Giants, and Cal Bears (football) lose, I am going to be in a bad mood. If they win well I will have a good day. If they ever win another championship . . . I don't know what I will do. Hopefully we will find out soon.
