Do people normally get pissed off about things happening at sporting events they don't watch?
Or is this just another case of everything is a con?
ETA: In all fairness, most of these folks I know seem to be in the same demographic that has been unsuccessfully swearing off the evils of television since the mid-1980s because of the corrupt/sinful/gay Hollywood agenda. I realize that I lean pretty left compared to most of my religious Midwestern compatriots, but they seem to watch a ton more television than I do, and I haven't even tried to swear it off.

Probably same reason why so many people saying they were going to emigrate to Canada and elsewhere never did after the Trump victory.
Emotions getting ahead of their brains.
