Fair enough. I some times am jealous of people who like following sports. Hanging in a bar watching the sports game and getting drunk sounds fun. I just don't find it fun.

You can hang, drink tea and knit if that's what you like. But it is easy to understand why people get tribal for their sport's favorite team.

I don't know about bars for it, but I do know people who have shows they watch together with a large group of friends, and alcohol can easily be involved there. Works especially well for trash reality TV. The people I first learnt about this practice from watch the Bachelor.
