Description Groups of people are divided into teams/parties they like, sometime with a casual interest and sometimes with vehemence. There's a seasonal increased interest coinciding with games/voting, even when most of the casual or die-hard observers don't understand the organization or strategy of their team/party.

The excitement comes to a head for that big game/vote, and then most people forget about the people and issues until the next year.

What people do remember most about the team members/candidates is any scandal or drama rather than the performance they gave. If they have preconceived dislike of a team member/candidate, people will often blame them for the failings of the entire team/party.

You will notice that I used 'football' without saying if I meant 'Football' like the USA sees it or how the rest of the world sees it, so that the point is more international.

Anyway, more playing with flash, and turning flash files into stamps. Difficult work.

Well in Austria its more a politik moroseness and often a general disinterest.
Many people think that they can't take influence on what happens out there.
Thats a trend that is manly occourring in our jouth, it just isn't a theme of interest,
even now in times of crisis.

So I was actually very surprised when I first saw in a film how policy is handled in America.
And I'd like to know more about it, how do they get the people to care?
Of course like you pointed out it has it's shadow sites, but it's still interesting.

Why yes I do like to torture metaphors. It's one of my favorite pastimes.
