I secretly want the team everybody wants to win to lose

People get so upset over sports. I always think I wish that were my worst problem. Secretly, I root for the team they want to lose then feel a real sense of satisfaction if they win. Is this normal?

    Yeah I was delighted when Ireland (my home country) was denied a spot in the World Cup down to a cheating Frenchman.

  • Yeah, I think we are all secretly like that. Well, those who dispise sports in general. I feel the same way for playing games online or watching friends gamble.

    it's notmal.. i mean i feel that way at times.. i mean i don't actually want my or actually my family's team to loose but when they get extremely and irationally fanatic about it i kind of don't want them to have what they want... but in reality i kinda get a little happy when my team or country wins..

    I feel exactly the same--the story of my life, guy! I think to explain it I don't have to go any deeper than--I get so f---ing SICK of idiots with no greater aspirations, or anxieties, than those invested in college or professional sports teams (that they're even freaking on--it's sad and sickening, the way people try to live vicariously through athletes).

    Haha! Hell yes it's normal! I hate sports and their fans. (The fans who are completely obsessed with the team.) I find it rather obnoxious.

    I say it's normal. Where I'm living right now, all I hear about is football or baseball. It's very irritating because I couldn't give half a rat's ass about either lol. So yeah I also get some satisfaction when everybody's favorite team loses because I get thinking to myself, "Phew, there. They lost. Now shut up and move on with your lives." Haha.

    I just like watching sports if it happens to be on when I'm channel surfing, but whoa i totally agree with you about sports fanatics! Especially college football - I went with a friend to this bar to watch the 'big game' and every bar in the city was filled. We finally found a parking spot at this one bar, and I realized I just wanted the other team to win to piss all these people off. They did win, and I was happy.

      My mother is the big sports fan in the family. I joke that when she watches (American) football games, she only roots for two teams: the New York Giants and whoever is playing against the Dallas Cowboys.

        hahaha i always do. the only sprts i feel are worth watch are racing or drifting and i dont mean nascar anyone can turn left. but i always want the team everyones rootin for to lose. i dont know why. but sometimes i think of it this way. if you were an alien visiting our pathetic hate ridin planet wouldnt you find it ignorant for people to engulf there lives and or community in a game based around a ball. makes us all seem like simple ass rednecks if you ask me haha

    Yep same here. I do not care for watching sports myself and can not understand how people can get so worked up over a team's success or failure.

    yea thats normal, i often like to watch matches from the iraqi league and whenever the favourite side loses they get tortured by their own fans on live tv. I to get a real sense of satisfaction out of this, especially when you start to see blood pouring out of an innocent mans carcus
