No. I’m not deluded.

You sound like a 9 year old kid (or a liberal) who thinks it is a bad thing that a team might win it when so many other championship-needy teams are deserving of a trophy simply because they have won it less often.

The same mindset that calls out for Little League teams not to keep score, and everyone gets a trophy.

Gee, who does that sound like? To each according to their NEED, and you sound like you are following a team that you think NEEDS one. So they should get it, in your mind.

Correct. Emotionally, I pull for the underdog. How, pray tell, does that make me a socialist?

For heavens sake, we're talking about sports - entertainment! - not social policy here. THAT, my friend - your inability to make the distinction - is why you are deluded.

Have a nice day.
