chop: In high school, I had more passion about the pick up basketball games played at the Y every night (after whatever practice for school sport ended, and my homework was done) than I did about the actual sport I was playing for the school or another league. I think what is being called out is the perceived importance and interest of things that people chose to do and take part in creating, versus more structured events that they just show up for.
Those things are true for us as adults as well. I bet many are more passionate about Wolfpack sports than they are about their jobs……….
