I have nothing against the movie, but there is a big difference between watching football as an adult and watching childrens movies as an adult.
Not really
Both are just entertainment. The audience has NO control over either.
The main difference is one is scripted the other....unless the game has some cheating officials...usually not
And face it ...when you're watching EITHER one as an adult...you revert to a childish behavior.
BUT Even more so in football
it starts long before and lasts far after the game has been played: Superstitions; Taunting, Getting upset and angry; Hero worship; Grudges; The We won They lost syndrom ; Some get their self image from how their team does ...i.e. frontrunners Thinking we have super powers....even I could have done that..NO YOU COULDN'T , Isolation, Wanting only to be with like-minded people at gametime. Some even cry etc etc.
For a game that has absolutely NO affect on our lives many devote an inordinate amount of time to it. Preseason, Offseason c'mon let's be realistic here we are.
The 1st step is admitting we all have a problem...as always the junkie in us sees no harm.
If you doubt it ask your better half...especially if they aren't into football. They'll give you the real lowdown.
At least after watching a movie all except the Real NUTS immediately get back to reality and what's important.
