I hate it when we lose, but I always enjoy being able to watch my team play ... win or lose. When we lose I never feel anger. Disappointment, yes, but never anger.

If someone let's a game anger them so badly that it affects their relationships then I suppose not watching and abandoning the game entirely is best. Sad, but I understand I suppose.

Everyone's different. Not just about sports but in all walks of life.
Some people get stressed easily, some people don't let stuff bother them.

In my case, not watching for 4 hours every Sunday did the trick as I focused on stuff that gave me enjoyment.
The loss yesterday was painful but I was proud of the way the team fought, so I got over it quickly. Maybe as I get older, I'll be able to flip that switch more easily.

It's just in the past I've struggled with that fine line, being invested is great when you win because it makes the win that much better, but to me, it also made the losses that much harder too.

My wife, the Saint she is, never once complained about watching a game, but she could see that it made me unhappy at times.
