Sports fandom is a curious thing. Millions and millions of people are drawn into it. Why? I think it’s in part bc sports mirror life—the ups and the downs, how you deal with adversity and keep going regardless. We’re also so drawn to a natural high that our team can give us, all the while knowing that at the end of the season there will be only one fan base—only ONE—that will reach the highest pinnacle of a championship in that sport. We know going into it that being that one team is extremely, extremely hard to do, but we’re ready for the ride anyway knowing that there will likely be a letdown somewhere along the way. The wins keep us going, keep us focused. And hope—it’s HOPE that keeps us mesmerized, at least in part. Isn’t it crazy just how accurately sports mirror life? So we’re here for it—the ups and the downs. And maybe—maybe—that can teach us to be here for ourselves, for our own roller coaster of a ride that life can be. We’re here—for all of it.
