It has to be pathetic. It isn't like he was physically playing on the team. Team you like lose? Move on.they would probably find things that affect you or me pathetic, so i try to extend a little grace. there is no objective "pathetic" here
i mean, maybe if you were dumb enough to bet a large amount of money on the team...You know, the more I think on it, the more this rings true. I'd say the sports nuts that get into it so much they have a cry when their team loses, likely has money involved.

But right, on topic: I've long since accepted this is one of those "human standard subsystems" that I'm missing. I don't put much stock in the tribe, though I can clearly recognize it as a normal thing that occurs in a majority of people.i think thats where im at too. idk that i have an equivalent myself. ive been tryin to think of an analogue since b4 the thread even. gonna keep at it
I think the closest parallel you or I would have (to the Big Sports Game Loss) is the sort of sense of betrayal upon playing an awful sequel to a beloved game franchise.

Also a sportsball fan.
You do invest a fair bit of time, energy, and money into following your team. It's often tied up with nostalgia and family. It can be a focus for your social life too.
When my team loses, it does piss me off a bit, when they win, it gives me a lift. That can be magnified according to the importance of a match.
Is it all a bit silly under the harsh light of rational, dispassionate analysis? Probably. But I think life would be a lot poorer without such things. Be they sport, or whatever it is that brings you your highs and lows. We are emotional beings, after all.
And as every fan will tell you: there's always next year.
