Circlotron:
This about sums it up for me.
GlennSprigg:
'Circlotron' s cartoon pic does seem to say it all. And in Australia, we sometimes have City/Town of Origin teams. Players are BOUGHT, so it means nothing like an old days game of some 'town' etc against another??  I SORT of get the 'idea' of sports, but am not a follower.

It ALWAYS gets me why countries like Brazil or Italy show such visual depictions of utter violence at times, with the off field fights, and followed up with street chaos & burnings!!!  Sigh...  Literally life & death, about simply kicking a fucking ball!!!!!!  :palm:

I've agonized about forming the following sentence... but the way people react/behave is DIRECTLY related to levels of intelligence, and having NOTHING else to do!! People from generally low Socio-Economic backgrounds, have little else to follow or do. It literally becomes life or death to them! On the other hand, those of us having the privilege of a more advanced education/career, and resultant Job/Money/Home/hobbies, are certainly not as affiliated with such limited interests!

I neither agree or dis-agree... but can you expand on what you mean??
Brumby:
I've considered that sports with mass following owe this characteristic to vicarious participation.
