Does sport make us happier?

The claim is made, just the evidence is missing.

VR. Racketball-style games, Golf, Table Tennis. Maybe I do not turn into a happier being, but I surely have a lot of fun this way. Plus the physical benefit of a mild training.

I'm always most happiest when my football team win

I'm pretty sure our governments wouldn't spend billions on sports if it didn't placate the citizenry so we aren't paying attention to our government's inadequacy/stupidity instead.

Stay in old England and don't move to New England.

Actually, New England has moved back to the Steve Grogan era.

I'm actually happy with the Patriots being the under dogs for a while.

Ask August to explain it.

I can't get into the Guys playing with balls in all the Sports.

I'm happiest when my Wife plays with my balls.

We have also seen the opposite. Here I'm thinking about hooligans who create havoc when their team lose.

They are only a few percentage of a fan group.

As I mentioned in a thread I created some month ago-Why is it only in football we see this, but not in Ice Hockey, Handball NFL or NHL(here it's mostly fight on the ice)

I'm like most of you happy when my teams win and somewhere sad when they lose-However there a new match next week.
