Being a Fan may be tragic, but it's not sad.

My friend Mike in Sydney, Australia, took me to see my first Cricket Test a few months ago. When the Aussie Prime Minister arrived in motorcade and joined the crowd, Mike turned to me and said: "He's a cricket tragic." He used the word ‘tragic' in a whole new sense for me and yet I immediately understood. Prime Minister John Howard would turn away from the most intense government affairs if there was cricket to watch. Tragic: not sad, but consumed. Tragic as noun, not adjective; it could even be a verb. Brilliant.We expect that there are a lot of tragics here in…
