I don't understand how professional sports is so effectively subversive.
My theory is white males are just so desperate to "be a part of something" that they'll obsess over mystery meat millionaires just for being members of a team even if it doesn't represent them in any way.
Their emotions actually hinge on whether Tyrese Shinbone successfully catches the ball. They will cry ugly tears if he fumbles. I can't imagine what it's like caring about that.
