Heard Trevor Noah talking about this on Tavis Smiley show. It is so obvious but it never really hit me before. Members of political parties act a lot like sports fans.
-Their "team" may be in a slump, but there is always next year. And there is lots of talk about what they have to do to rebuild.
-All the rulings by the ref's/judge's are correct if they favor the home team, but wrong if they go the other way.
-The media is full of smug talking heads arguing their positions. In fact the media coverage and the online arguing takes up more time and energy than a few hours each week when the home "team" actually does anything. (baseball fans excluded from this)
-Even though there is blind support to a certain team there are also intense disputes among the fans about who should be coaching/starting for said team. Or how the team should change its "scheme" or "strategy" in order to be more successful.
