The Musings of a Yankees Fan

This clip explains what it means to be a sports fan. The video, narrated by a middle aged Yankees fan, is asking many of the same questions I hope to answer throughout this blog. Why are people drawn to sports? Why does it seem that some people feel that by watching their favorite sports team they are helping them win? It appears that people have such a deep bond with a team that they almost see them as a family member. He concludes that it is our inner child that allows us to feel this way. It is the youthful exuberance to be able to find importance, and joy in something that you yourself are not directly involved with. The things that he considers in this video show this strong connection people have with sports, and the reasons why they do so. Even if he is a Yankees fan.
