    I think people are weirdly obsessed with sports. It's fine to enjoy them, but it's a fucking game. They need to calm down.

        Seems silly to me.

        I can understand being disappointed when your favorite team loses. I can understand being really upset when the team YOU PLAY FOR loses. I don't understand getting pissed at people you'll never meet because they didn't play a game for your entertainment well enough.

        AFAICT, the outcome of the game has nothing to do with the athletes. It's based on how hard the fans hoped and prayed for their selected team to prevail. Other than that, it comes down to corruption and incompetence among the officials.

            An (American) football team my family follows used to have a coach that got so upset over plays and calls that he would advance onto the field gesticulating and screaming, causing the team to get penalties.

            Did they council this guy to control himself? No. They got someone on staff to physically restrain him when he lost his mind. Like the kid's only job was to grab the coach by the belt-loops and keep him off the field.

            I love this story because it's about a masculine man engaging in a masculine activity who cannot be expected to control his own hysterics. I keep it in my back pocket for when the "men are stoic, women are emotional" BS comes up.

              Has nothing to do with sports, that's just the excuse to be a violent dick and assault and murder other people

                After MAGA became a thing, probably better that they are angry about that.

                  My brother is mostly fairly normal seeming, but he gets so unreasonably angry over games... doesn't matter if he's playing the game or someone else is. He doesn't like hurt anyone or take things out on others much, but he's definitely what I'd call a "sore loser". He knows it's one of his weaknesses too. I kind of wonder what causes this sort of thing. Definitely some latent anger issues.

                    I've always found it silly how so many men get angry at other men just kicking a ball around tbh

                    But they're in different uniforms. That's nearly the same as flying a flag.

                      It's an interesting thought experiment to look at sports fans getting overly excited by people chasing a ball bouncing around like an anthropologist studying group behaviour in primates. I can't see them as anything other than gibbering apes after doing that.
