I have an affinity for teams from my hometown... Lakers, Dodgers... it helps that the Lakers are annual contenders. I appreciate the skill and dedication it takes to play sports professionally. This is to say nothing about the worth of said profession. I play sports myself, so I get inspired by the adversity and competition that these people face.
With all that said, I am not as passionate as I used to be. I watch games here and there, and follow the rankings and news stories, but it won't kill me if I forget to check for a week or something.
