I want to let them know they can, if they want. Just takes the desire to do it. After all, we're talking about wants, and not needs here.

I'm with you on this point. That's a much more reasonable tenor than calling someone who consumes such an idiot or whatever. For me, sports is not only my favorite pastime, it's also my preferred way to connect with people in general. Folks with whom I'd likely never interact under any other circumstances. That's magical for me, and now I'm getting to form some cool sports bonds with my kids, as well. It'll always be a big part of my life, politics of the participants notwithstanding.
