When my team wins, I am happy. When my team loses, I am sad. Nothing in life is that simple and powerful and easy. Think about the last time you actively jumped up into the air in joy. It was probably during a sporting event. Typically the only other thing that makes me leap like that is, I dunno, maybe a spider. Sports gets out emotions that are unacceptable or tamped down in normal life, and makes them acceptable, even encouraged.
