I live in the south of the u.s. down here to many people and some I know personally college football is a religion. they can tell you anything you want to know about their favorite team. they get into fights at games. they spend hours a day reading stuff and chating and arguing about their favorite teams. and they also spend way too much time looking at high school kids they want to go to their collage. I could go on, but trust me it is a religion to some.
I could never understand how people can get that excited about a subject, have it that accepted, when any talk of the God who created them and runs the world is not accepted. And all about kicking a ball!!!!
I'll bet that if someone explained it and how it is thought of to someone who lived 500 years ago they wouldn't believe it could happen. Sounds more like ancient Rome.

A few sports are called Football, in some counties football is referred to soccer, some people call rugby football....regardless of the sport some do take it as a religion, a few years ago here in South Africa, there was a court case and a witness that was called to testify refused to use the Bible to take the oath, he used a small soccerball that he placed his right hand on to take the oath as he said that was his religion.
Anyway...the only real mans sport is Rugby

all fandoms have aspects of religion. Whether your obsessing over sports like football, hockey or whatever, or if its a game, tv show, comic etc, they all have things very similar to religion. I noticed it when I used to be part of the Brony fandom. A lot of like, tumblr fandoms even "literally" worship the characters. I know many homestucks call Andrew Hussie, the creator of the comic, god, though mostly as a joke. Same goes for Celestia in the brony fandom. Other fandoms do it too, though its always as a "joke."
I think a lot of people in the modern day use fandoms as a substitute for religion, which...is very interesting to me and a personal research interest. I dont think this inherently means fandoms are bad though; the "religious" aspect of them isn't necessary to liking that given thing or participating in the fandom. its just how some of the more zealous fans tend to act.
