On the one hand, sports is often not very sportsmanlike. But it's a good release, too -- in a world of grey areas, it can be very comforting to have black-and-white things to hold on to (our team is great, yay! Boo on the other team, I want them to lose!).

Competition is good, and though many take it to the extreme (even in a team sport, there are individual 'stars' who are trying to get on top or stay on top -- a bad attitude will turn me off, much less drugs and dangerous practices).....

It's a victory, and it may be a minor thing, but there is a lot of positivity, and I love that you see the world that way and share that with me (and others on LJ) often.
