+1 for having kids.
Sports is so small in the grand scheme of things. I am a die hard Seahawks fan, and the interception on the goal line in the 2014 Superbowl spiraled me into way too much depression. Between this, and having 2 kids, I have realized in the past 6 or 7 years that sports is so meaningless.
Win or lose, The sun still rises. I sill have to take my son to dayhome in the morning, and I still have to pick up my daughter from elementary school in the afternoon. Who really cares about whether the Flames won or lost?
The grass is still green, the Sky is still blue.
Care about your sports team, that is fine. But don't let it own you.
I have a friend that calls himself a Sports Nihilist. I kinda dig that approach.
