The game is a metaphor for life, you can do well on an individual basis if you’re willing to work hard, even gain notoriety and accolades, but to be really really successful, You need to get beyond yourself and your own personal interests and integrate your abilities by buying into and fully embracing a team concept getting beyond yourself for the collective good of not only yourself but your team.

It’s a sport that demonstrates the toughness and discipline you need in life to be successful both on the field, but especially beyond it no matter what avenue of work in life you get into.

It’s a top dog/King of the mountain/Lion in the jungle sport where, as you note you are literally fighting for territory trying to be the top dog alpha, a sport where you can live vicariously through others In that regard if you can’t do it yourself.

It’s communal giving an opportunity to spend precious time and moments with family and like minded friends.

It’s crazy, it’s entertaining and it’s exciting, being a part of it or rooting for your team that can get you the highest of highs both as a fan, or as a participant, but where sometimes the opposite occurs ripping your heart out, giving and experiencing the lowest of lows.

In other words, once again, it’s just like life with all its peaks and valleys, good times and bad times as a metaphor for life itself, No better sport in the world.
