And that will never change. You either have the bug when you are young or are born with the gene and your family allows you to build on it or become a direct part of it . . . but for most of others it's the opposite.

Sometimes it happens when you're older like for me . . . being a casual fan and my wife, born with the gene and the love, pulled me in hook line and sinker . . . exposing the gene I always had. I've found in the many times I've tried you can't really turn them into a fan of any type and can't make them understand the sport (the good or the "bad") really at all.
