I'm not watching. I don't watch any sports on my own. If I went to someone's house and they have a football game on tv, sure, I'll sit there and watch the game. I'd rather everyone wasn't screaming and drooling over a game that has no impact on their lives while I'm forced to sit there and watch it, but oh well . . .
I think people are LONGING to be a part of something, anything, so they grab onto a team or, in the case of the Olympics, a country, and can fill that void. For me, I can fulfill that desire by being on Jesus Christ's team as a member of the Roman Catholic Church.
