I was lucky enough to go to the Master's in Augusta, Ga., last spring where I noticed a strange thing about the way I root for sports. I felt the same thing yesterday watching the race at Daytona.
In most sports I root for the little guys. I hate the Yankees and I go against the Cowboys and Notre Dame and Duke and the Lakers. I found myself rooting against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I love seeing the Colorado Rockies go to the World Series or see App. State upset Michigan. Every March I always jump on some mid-major school's bandwagon in the NCAA basketball tournament. But at the Master's I was disappointed when Zach Johnson won and Tiger or Phil or one of the other superstars didn't.
I felt the same way yesterday. Not that Ryan Newman is a slouch (12 Cup wins but 0 since 2005 before Sunday) but I found myself disappointed that Stewart or Junior or Gordon or Johnson or one of the big superstars didn't win. It was the 50th Daytona 500 for crying out loud! It got me to wondering why do I root for the big boys with major events in PGA and Cup when I root for the little guys everywhere else?
Did anyone else feel this way yesterday?
