Re: NFL
I disagree with your video. So because Pittsburgh has passion they deserve to win? Arizona fans and players still wanted to win. If they hadn't put forth passion and effort they wouldn't have gotten where they got.
If passion meant you deserved it, The Roots would be the most famous act in hip-hop. But instead, you probably don't know who The Roots are, because that's reality.
Also, dude said the NFL now has their Yankees? I don't want the NFL to have their Yankees. Teams like the Yankees aren't good for a sport.
I am not a Cardinals fan. I am a fan of the underdog.
Edit: This comment on that video also said it well

Rick Reilly illustrated very clearly everything that is wrong in today's sports culture. There is no right or wrong team in sports. Congratulations to the Steeler Nation. I am sure they are elated and proud of their team. But the Cardinal fans are just as proud of ours. Perhaps Reilly should leave the elite resorts of Scottsdale the next time he visits Arizona before he makes sweeping condmenations of the city, the team and the fans. I would like to see him tell the thousands of people fed by the Bidwell's generosity at the food bank that the Bidwills are not worthy people. Or tell the retired USAF fighter pilot that sat in 110 degree weather on aluminum benches in ASU stadium 4 months after an accident threatened his life in enormous pain that his devotion is less true. Or look Larry Fitzgerald, Adrian Wilson, Darnell Dockett, or Kurt Warner in the eye and tell him that his effort is not equal or as valued as that of Ward or Holmes.The team has been in Arizona for 18 years. True some of us of only been fans that long, but there are lifelong fans who have followed and admired the heart and committment of this team. Reilly is a disappointment. I expected more.
