I'm just not part of our harmless ritual of belonging: fans rooting for their team.
I've been like that all my life. It's probably a deficit of character somehow. It's not at though I spend the time with more productive pursuits -- I manage to waste time other, generally less social, ways.
It certainly cuts down on the small-talk possibilities.
(*) My knees say playing baseball is much less likely than it used to be, and once I was out of school and away from PE, it was improbable even then.
UPDATE: For anyone looking back on this years from now, wondering what brought the subject up, the Super Bowl was a few days ago and the Winter Olympics is still on.

I don't have any close relatives in team sports any more (my nephews were the closest and they've all graduated out of school teams) but I do pay some attention to the Vikings, Twins, and Iowa college teams. It's mostly motivated by nostalgia for the time spent with my dad, who had played and always maintained an interest in sports, watching and listening to games.
For some reason curling keeps showing up on my Instagram feed.
