Well, yes,we are a barbaric society. If they had public executions and charged admission , it would sell out.

But anyway, being fans is about a sense of companionship with thousands of others who share at least one common interest. The home team. Black, white, blue collar, white collar, FBT, TMD.... We all share the same thing. It is OUR team. Us against the rest of the big boys.

We may leave the game and be totally opposite in our beliefs, virtues and common ground. But for that one Sunday, we get together, eat, drink, socialize and even get religious after a Gabbert interception and we all look up and say Geeezusss Kheeeirrisst.

But hey, I don't feel guilty drinking a beer at 9 am because we are tailgating...another perk.
