The Michigan Wolverines defeated the Washington Huskies decisively last night to win this year’s NCAA national football championship. I was discussing the popularity of spectator sports with my son, Dr. Ryan Denison, and he noted, “The best part of sports is the chance to be irrationally hopeful with little consequence for doing so.” He’s right: not much that can happen to an athlete during a game is likely to happen to a fan watching the game. We get to “play” the game with little risk to ourselves. If only life worked that way.
