If everything is a text, then let’s analyze people and their sports teams. Why do people like the teams they do, and what makes them like them so much, that they stay loyal to one day till the day they die? The superstitions that people follow every week, or every season, is because those people are die-hard fans of that team. People sacrifice so much to be able to watch their teams every season.

If he does not watch the game with him, his father thinks that the Eagles will lose. (That ends up not being the case.)
