First I tend to agree with the sentiment of the subject post -and that's how I look at it now. It's just entertainment to me. It also reminds me of what the once great center fielder of the Dodgers said during the 60s and early 70s-Willie Davis after asked about making a bunch of errors responded: "Well its not my wife and its not my life". That's how I feel about the Rams. If they do good I'm excited. If they do bad its "aw shucks". Personally, I think people identify too much with teams-so naturally if a team does poorly they take it personally because part of themselves has failed.
"OTOH" a message board likes this does give a "fan" room to vent. And god only knows what happens to those who have no way to vent their frustration and anger. I've been there and done that. If I go outside screaming like a maniac about a CK interception my neighbors -who are outside enjoying the day-all run into their homes thinking I'm some kind of dangerous animal. Better and more socially acceptable to take it out on people I've never met and will not meet.
