I don't understand sports fans at all. It seems to be a type of madness to get all fired up over which gang of guys wins or loses some silly ball kicking, hitting throwing thing.

Most Mainers have an intense dislike for Massachusettes in general and Boston in particular, yet we cheer for the Red Sox. Why? I'll bet none of the players are natives of Boston, and it looks to me like the the best team is made up of the most expensive players.
I just don't get it.
