He is reduced to rooting for their team logo and uniforms: “You are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city.”
― Steven Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: A History of Violence and Humanity

“I check my phone messages and email about forty-five times a day. I don’t even know what I’m expecting to get in these messages. Maybe Visa will call and say, “We just realized that we owe you money!” or I’ll get an email from a high school classmate that says, “We’ve reconsidered and we’ve decided you were cool after all.” Whatever”
― Mike Birbiglia, Sleepwalk with Me: and Other Painfully True Stories
