I have never understood what the point of going crazy after a sports event.
If you let sports become an emotional experience, I have problems with you already, but allowing it to get you worked up into enough of a frenzy to just go out and break stuff just makes no sense at all.
If the outcome of a game affects you even one iota more than "oh well" or "yay", then I already know you're of caveman-level intelligence. Yes, I'm judging raucous sports fans, and I'm tired of pretending not to. Nothing should ever get you that worked up at all. Except maybe a ton of coke. Even life or death situations should be more chill than that.
I won't even get that crazy when Trump dies, so sports fans have no reason to ever get like that. I don't care about their ages or maturity either. Getting that worked up at all, ever, in any context is just proof of lack of self control.
And people act like it's just normal. I see it mentioned after American football games too (usually I hear about it in reference to Philadelphia but I'm sure it's talked about elsewhere too).
These people need to be force sedated during the game to prevent this from happening.
I suspect they are not actually in a state of extreme emotional turmoil when these things happen, but they rather just enjoy destruction for its own sake and don't care about the consequences for others. The sports event is just an excuse.
Similar things unfortunately exist in other contexts, too. Recently I heard on similar behavior in the camping area of large music festivals being an increasing problem.
I tune out the moment people start talking about sportsball. I think a lot of the destructive side of things comes from a mob effect. You get a lot of inebriated people together, all high on their excitement, and it compounds. It's not justified, but one potential reason.
