Games are meant to be fun social activities played with friends. While some sports like softball have separate female leagues, some women wish to play in the same leagues as men. Fans get passionate watching games because they can personally relate through prior experience playing a sport or seeing a child play, and the crowd energy and close scores amplify emotions. A team functions like a second family, with members supporting each other through both struggles and celebrations. Only officially invited team members are allowed on the field during a game.
