What is it about sports (especially football for us) that makes people so emotional? Why do we get so caught up in them?
These are questions my wife asked me last night as both of us are screaming at the TV during Olympic swimming. Normally, I only yell at my kids swim meets. I never watch swimming on TV except the Olympics and maybe the Olympic Trails. Yet, there I was in my living room in Strawberry Plains, TN yelling for Katie Ledecky in Rio like she was my daughter. We all probably do the same with Dobbs or Hurd on a Saturday afternoon. Why is it?
