well, I just learned to not let my emotions be driven

by outcomes of games I'm not involved in. The only thing that really gets to me is outcomes for individual wrestlers at big events...because it's the VT sport I'm the biggest fan of and it's so obvious how outcomes impact those athletes...but even that is very short-lived I also just don't get how it can be "hard" to just sit there and watch games and root for your team...geez, if you're finding it hard, maybe find another hobby to replace it?

There's a difference between emotion as part of an experience

From "mere" fans, to investers-er-donors, euphoria and despair...

No one is "risking" their money or time

The only thing "weird" is that you don't grasp this.
