A comment on Why Sports Are A Sad and Dangerous Waste of Time. Parent comment
This is the greatest benefit of sports. It is a easy way to experience collective identity.
When viewed from the outside, many collectives activities look silly (sports, dancing, praying, ceremonies) but it can feel powerful to be part of it.
My hunch is that most loners (myself included) have too rigid a definition of self.
