Used to, now i only follow players careers. Used to believe that “institutions > players”, but now i am sure that it is the reverse. Institutions are nothing more than a bunch of nepo babies extracting profits from the players, coaches and staff.

I used to be very invested in my teams, not anymore. I occasionally watch the games, highlights or certain shows about them, but overall I am drifting further and further away from them, mostly because of my obsession with associating myself with things. Everything has to be close to 100% in agreement with my values and you can guess sports are far from that number. They are leftovers from my childhood but they belong there as well. I sometimes take out and put on my jerseys I bought when I was younger, but my fandom is starting to be a thing of the past.

I am technically still the fan of AC Milan in terms of ⚽, and the Wizards doing something that kinda resembles 🏀.

I’ve got a nostalgic thing going for the Edmonton Oilers. They are the team in the city where I spend my younger childhood years and where I got into hockey and started playing.

I have loved Tampa Bay Rays baseball for a long time. They are my corporate currated identity. I watch as many games as I possibly can. I also try to catch local minor league games when I have the chance.

Parasocial relationships aren’t really my bag, and I’m pretty creeped out by the parasocial mass psychology around professional sports.
