What's interesting about this is many people acknowledge the paradigm you've described yet continue to play the game.

Go Team Red!

Go Team Blue!

It's astounding.

Very much like wrestling. My Grandma used to get so upset about what she was watching when wrestling was on TV that she would have to leave the room, all red faced. Then she'd come back and go "well, they're all friends" LOL

As a kid I was completely distraught when the Iron Sheik defeated Bob Backlund in 1983.
