So the Giants win game 1. Professional sports are the athletic equivalent of employing mercenaries to fight a war - no real connection with civic spirit or a local patriotism. There were plenty of fans watching the game on TV at Roam and cheering "their" team on (how many of them are actually natives to the area, rather than transplants from elsewhere) but that team spirit is a very poor substitute for a true civic-mindedness.
