@Shadaya_Knight I always knew your alpha is a woman … ma paragraph ndeechikadzi aya

Midnight I received a call from this other dude, an Arsenal fan screaming his lungs out "we won, we won, we won". Almost tore my earpieces with his noise.
That time the dude, is broke and that's when it struck to me, football is the only thing happening in his life. He is living vicariously through "his team".
Why so many men treat their team’s win like it’s their own?
Walk into any bar on a Champions League night and you’ll see it. Grown men screaming, jumping, cursing at the ref like they’re on the pitch. The team wins, and suddenly it’s “we did it”. The team loses, and it’s a bad Monday.
That’s vicarious living, and soccer is the main drug for it.
*1. Identity without effort*
Building status in real life takes years: career, family, skills, money. Supporting a club gives you an instant identity. You’re a Man City fan, a Man Utd fan, an Arsenal fan. No tryouts needed. When they win, your identity wins too.
*2. Controlled emotion in a boring world*
Most of life is muted. Work, bills, routine. A 90-minute match is 90 minutes where you’re allowed to feel everything at max volume. The highs feel earned, even if you did nothing but watch. It’s a legal hit of purpose and tribal belonging.
*3. Tribe > Individual*
Humans are wired for tribe. Your club is your tribe. When they score, you get the same neurochemical hit as if _you_ scored. Dopamine doesn’t care that you were on the couch. It cares that “your group” succeeded. That’s why losses feel personal - it’s a group loss.
*4. Low cost, high payoff*
You can be a fan from anywhere. No gym, no talent, no risk of injury. You put in $0 and 2 hours a week, and you get bragging rights, community, and emotional highs for months. It’s the highest ROI hobby out there.
*The catch*
It becomes a problem when it replaces real wins. If your only “we did it” moment is your club lifting a trophy, you’re renting meaning. Real fulfillment comes from things you actually control: your health, your work, your relationships.
But used right, it’s healthy. It’s ritual, community, and a break from the grind. The mistake is confusing “we won” with “I won”.
Be a fan. Celebrate. Then go build something in your own life you can say that about.
Learn OR perish!!!

The ZRP is looking for the driver of a Toyota Altezza, registration number AGV 9953, which was recorded driving dangerously along the Harare–Masvingo Road and putting the lives of other motorists at risk.
The vehicle was seen overtaking other vehicles on the left side and crossing over the yellow line, which is prohibited by law.

@edy_singano Look at Queens Stadium? They only get red ball matches so I doubt @ZimCricketv will be bothered to host matches there. Maybe local league matches.
