    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.

      Moreover, getting upset because the side you have arbitrarily selected to support isn’t winning… How does one grow into adulthood and remain this silly?

      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.
