Indeed it does and even the repeated empirical observance of what is on offer can't dissuade people which is kind of worse really.Yes fair point but at least 'faith' in SAFC has some tangible proof i.e. an owner (God), a stadium (Heaven/Hell) and a team (angels/demons ) etc.
Even if the outcome is still as shite as religion.
I didn't watch the game this week but a mate was there. It cost him well over a hundred pounds and he got into kip at daft o'clock in the morning with only a couple of hours sleep before he started work. He said that the match was shite with both teams as poor as each other who couldn't pass water. His entire financial, physical and emotional investment for the evening depended on one mistake which gave him no more emotional release than if he'd watched it on the telly....but he was there and it was better than the previous game which he admitted was a total waste of time even though he watched one team play good football but unfortunately for him it was the wrong team. He had his lucky old scarf...a symptom of megalomania in that he can affect the outcome of events beyond his control.
To be honest I reckon that a man praying to his cooker to guide him through life is more of sound mind but it's all about opinions. It's also about the magnifying glass and which way you want to point it.
If it's worth it then it's worth it. Emotional investment and emotional return.
