Love your post. I think its a great analogy. And I have often feared sports fans.

I work in the media and somewhat worked on a documentary on Sports Fans Gone Wild kind of thing. Believe me, it regularly leads to fights and much more violence. I don't think its as bad as in Europe where a soccer goalie who loses a game is in seriously jeopardy of being murdered and riot police are needed to keep fans of opposing teams from killing each other.

The blind devotion is very similar to religion.

I wanted to ramble more on this but I have to fly. Later all.
