yeah but that gets at a point i was trying to make in the Olympics thread - it's not enough for a sport to just be ON, there has to be an attendant buzz of rumor, anticipation and pomp; it needs to connect you with others. i think that's part of why the Olympics are so emotionally powerful - when we know on some intuitive, subconscious level that we're sharing these moments with a huge number of other people - some of whom we probably know! - our emotions get magnified, the way you laugh harder in a full audience than alone
