The golf course lies so near the mill

That almost every day

The children working at the looms

Can see the men at play.

Some care because they're so

Some care because they're so used to being diehard fans of professional sports teams that they don't know anything else?

Those type of fans never have a satisfying explanation for me about what they get when they "win." Actually, what are the benefits? They get to not look stupid for spending so much emotional energy and time on a for-profit entertainment corporation? They get to lord it over fans of other teams? They learn to worship other people as heroes for their handling of a ball, or for their ability to run or "fight"? Their season tickets increase in value? Their team gets to go to Disney World? What, what do they really get when they win? It makes them proud? Pride in a team they have to pay to see is the reward? Wazzit? What good does "winning" do them?

It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game.
