I don't know. Some people have nothing else in their lives worth mentioning, so I guess sports becomes everything. They see their team's success as their success. This isn't new, by the way, and there are places in the world where that kind of fan fervor is even worse than here.
That said, I wanted to punch the TV every time the camera went back to that poor slob while he continued to watch the game afterwards. Geez, paint a bullseye on his head, whydoncha?
