The fact that people feel strongly about something does not mean it is important. Lots of people have very strong feelings about the New Jersey Devils or the Miami Heat. That doesn't mean that sports or teams matter.

I'm not saying your conclusion is wrong, but your comment does not constitute a valid argument in favor of that conclusion.

Which would probably be important if you were interviewing them to be local sportscasters in those markets, no?

I meant important to them individually, not the whole world
