Sports is an escape and a way to get away from the daily shit and hopefully gain some enjoyment, whether it be by rooting for a winning team or getting enjoyment from family and friends while rooting for a winning team. When the team just causes more shit, then you have to decide if you care enough or if you don't. I'd love to be able to walk away and just watch them in passing and drop them like a bad habit when they're not doing well (just like i do with the Reds), but i can't. I don't think it's too much to ask to be able to enjoy a playoff run every few decades or so. 

2. No. You're not the boss of me. I'll enjoy them when they win and get pissed when they lose, because i know from experience that i won't enjoy them when they lose. That's the great thing about democracy. I can do what the hell i want as long as i'm not hurting anyone or breaking any laws. 

It's just like some people when they are sad want to listen to sad music.

Then there are others who would rather listen to uplifting music and try to escape that shit.

Different strokes for different folks.
