I agree with you here - being out with our fellow countrymen enjoying a good game and everyone being, ya know, on each others team is a great way to spend a weekend. Just realize, that when you get home and things calm down, each one of those 'every color and religion under the sun' groups gets to still be on a team that they can identify with, that they can be proud of, that they can celebrate and that they can use to wield political power against... you, who has no group identity. So I'm not saying it's some great thing to have to do, but the fact remains that every single other group is doing it, except ours.
