I am not a sports fan. Anyway, one day I was at a social gathering and a guy was really distressed because his team kept losing.

I said, "Why not just like a different team?" (I thought this was logical)

There was an uproar among sports fans.

Anyway, it's so much better to be rooting for the prosecution. They win so much more.

Did you know federal prosecutors have better than a 95% conviction rate?

@Teri_Kanefield It seems a bit problematic to equate sports with prosecution.

The ability for governments to punish and even harass people, all too often innocent people, is quite a bit different from watching two teams play some game on the field.

I'd say there's a pretty strong moral argument that we shouldn't be quick to cheer on prosecutors in general just because they may be pretty good at getting people punished.
