re: Why do some people choose to be so miserable?

I don't get it either. If games are that painful for you, don't go anymore. Or go, I don't care, but I laugh all the time at people who let losses and coaching decisions literally make them depressed and ill. It's entertainment. You have zero effect on it's outcome and your life will be no different, win or lose, unless you allow it by makin it ruin your sanity.
