Why do we read articles about the Toronto Raptors? For enjoyment? Sure. To understand the game better as we’re watching it? Yeah, that’s nice. But if we’re being honest, a large part of the reason why we read articles is so we can sound smart to other people.
We all enjoy being the most knowledgable about any topic, and there is nothing better than showing everyone just how smart you are. On the converse, there is nothing worse than when that smug co-worker of yours tries to show they actually are the one who knows the most.
