When you are 40, how many of your team members do you think you will have in your cell phone list? I have ten of my brothers on mine.
The coaches choose the team, you didn't, but you can choose your brothers.

Many people have the same "you will leave this behind" viewpoint of fraternity membership once they graduate. There are many 40 year olds who were in fraternities in college who don't have brothers in their cell phone list.
At my school, club sports and D1 sports were pretty much their own fraternities. The guys hung out with each other, participated in service projects and the club sports even held formals. There was some crossover of members in sports and fraternities, but it wasn't much. I'm pretty sure those guys in sports will still be good friends once they graduate and will probably be friends for life.
You're stereotyping sports teams the same way people stereotype fraternities.
