[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 936065, member: 322"] Thanks. I guess it's a Tune In WREK night. Just turned on and it's Wiley :) Given [USER=2843]@FredJacket[/USER] tic admonition of me having too much emotional investment in late teenagers / early 20s guys, I offer the following article for consideration (note my favorite sport is cycling so that has a different set of baggage, but there are commonalities). Why are we fans? "[I]Most of all, we want our love for these athletes to be justified, for our [B]intense emotional investment to not be misplaced[/B]. After all, it is impossible to love without trust. It is far easier to be cynical and bitter and be correct than it is to grieve for something you deeply believed in.[/I]" [URL unfurl="true"]https://open.substack.com/pub/derailleur/p/the-perils-of-cycling-fandom?r=6q1fr&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email[/URL] [/QUOTE]
