Life is full of Greys and overlaps; sometimes it’s good to be either black or white.

Don’t know about everyone else, but it feels like my sporting summer – the biggest sporting summer since the Olympics – which I was very excited about, was cut short and finished before it properly began!

I was looking forward to the World Cup and England at least making it past the groups’ stages. Then Wimbledon’s nasty surprise, now all that’s left in my ‘sporting summer’ is the Commonwealth Games.

Not sure if I’m alone here but there are certain sporting events you can’t carry on watching after your team is knocked out. In my case major Football and Rugby events are not worth watching if England is not competing.

Tennis is a new thing; in the past I used to easily follow all of Wimbledon then half way pick someone to root for. But since Andy Murray’s rise my Wimbledon expectations changed. Murray not making it to the finals put a damper on the whole Wimbledon experience. Now all is left of summer 2014 is the Commonwealth Games. Which luckily I will follow in full regardless, especially Track & Field events, as they are my absolute favourite sporting pastime.

I know my attitude makes me tribal. That tribalism also shows in my politics. Some think it’s uncool to be this tribal, but I think life is full of Greys and overlaps and it’s good to have some clear cuts, some black or white and an either or in certain things. Don’t you think?

My clear cuts are mostly in some sports and all of my politics what are yours?
