You also have to remember that being a fan of a team is about emotion.
I love my family 100 times more than the Bengals, but during football season I will usually have my most extreme emotional experiences watching a football game. Over the course of a year there will obviously be things that move me more than a football game, but nothing on such a regular basis as sporting events. That is why sports are so popular to watch.
Is anyone going to suggest that we should all just sit calmly when we go to the stadium to watch a game? No. So no one should be shocked when discussions about sports are emotional and heated.
