I Finally Understand Sports Fandom
I’ve never been particularly interested in watching sports, specifically, on television. I had never understood the whole concept of revolving one’s day around ensuring that they’re plopped on the couch at a definitive point in time in order to stare at other humans moving around the screen in contentious ways. My parents always healthily encouraged my brother and I to play sports, so we did throughout all of childhood until college. Although competing came with some low points, in retrospect, I am so grateful for the emotional and physical development that competition provided me. I know that playing a professional sport is a whole other level of commitment, physical labor, and mental fortitude; however, I believe that the exposure I had during my athletic years gave me some sort of elementary glimpse. I played competitive tennis, and my dad also got me into golf at a very young age, so I’ve always considered those two to be enjoyable pastimes. Naturally, since I was more hands-on with them, I knew the professional players in tennis and golf as well. I grew up watching all of the grand slams, major tournaments, and even attended a few tournaments around the US. Besides, the experience of attending an event and watching the sport being played in person is a whole different ball game; hah, see what I did there? Aside from tennis and golf, I was never really noticeably engrossed in other sports leagues such as football, basketball, baseball, etc. And, as many would agree, watching the Olympics doesn’t count. One could say, “oh, that’s the same viewpoint as most teenage girls.” That may have been a factor, but I’ve now put a little more thought into it. Things changed in the past few months as one particular sports team started to attract the eyes, and indeed the hearts, of nearly all Arizona dwellers this summer, including myself. That team has been the Phoenix Suns. After witnessing a rollercoaster of wins and losses, seeing the valley light up with excitement over finally having a talented team to be proud of, and being able to connect with friends, family, and even strangers over the Suns, I feel like I finally understand true sports fandom.
