I don't really watch sports, cos I can't wrap my head around the idea that I can share in the glory of any team or person I have not trained with or contributed in any way to their achievement - save for the fact that my watching is part of what creates an industry that allows commercial entities to make sports a viable profession.

I am thankfully inspired by their achievements, that I too can get somewhere in my own training. But I'll always be careful to remember that their success is what they earned with their time, their blood, and their sweat; the celebration is their gift to us, but the glory belongs only to the team that made it happen.
