People who destroy property over sportsball outcomes: Why? - eviltoast

I’ve seen tables flipped, tv sets punched through, furniture thrown. And that’s just in the home.

How does one get to a place mentally where burning and destroying things, over a sportsball game seem a reasonable thing to do?

    You should see what happens when political tribalism takes place in the United States.

    Strong emotions and financial strain with the working class at an all-time high, disdain towards other groups, and fights break out.

    Assassination attempts and murder of activists and politicians due to disagreements.

    I think it goes back to dividing the working class and keeping us entertained so we don’t pay attention to the status quo.
