Believing in your team gives life meaning. It gives you a tribe. We've gotten to a point in our survival that we don't need to fight for food and shelter, but all of that energy and all of those instincts have to go somewhere.
So we go way overboard on identifying ourselves with professional sports. Don't need to fight for survival, so instead we fight for 'our team'. It always amazed me to see people in Wisconsin that had painted their house green and yellow.
