Good on you for coming to this revelation. Just keep it all in perspective and segment it in a relevant way to your life (which is more important than sport). Perhaps only watch games, (or just the recaps), don’t obsess over results or players if it makes you unhappy or throws you into the churn of the 24-hour cycle of discussion, just let it go. You can still cheer and follow your team if you like, but make it a passive participation instead of engaging in the nonsense surrounding it. Unfortunately this can apply to most any hobby that isn’t extremely insular, but at the same time a step back is always a good thing to me. Life is short and there is constant pressure from every angle to compete for our time (which translates into our money, the only motivation for any of it), and time is really all we have, so don’t waste it.

I was so pissed off, all those goddamned draws finished us. I was so sure it would never happen again, sigh…

Imagine putting up historic point totals two separate seasons and missing winning the top league by one point both times
