I accept the crowd here may be against me on this one, but I'm hoping somebody else can back me up.

I find it incredibly rude to the point where it makes my blood instantly boil when some ass clown has to show off to an entire room of people that he loves sports so much that he needs to disrupt everybody else's peace by obnoxiously clapping, yelling, cheering, etc. for his team in the middle of a public area.

Last weekend I was at COP in the lounge while my kids were in their snowboarding lessons. I usually just ride the hill, but I sat this one out and just chilled out in the lounge. The lounge there is a relatively quiet place. They had a football game on the TV. A dude was sitting there yelling and clapping and hollering like a GD howler monkey for every play. It was jarring. It was annoying. It was rude. It was ridiculous.

We get it. You like sports. But read a room FFS. I don't expect silence during the super bowl, or a flames game at a sports bar or anything, but some random football team playing when you're literally the only person in a crowded room watching, why can't you keep your over-the-top enthusiasm to yourself?

And that's just an example, but it's not the only time I've seen this kind of behaviour from a certain type of trashy sports fan. Am I alone on this? Is there anybody else that would be bothered by that kind of disruption, or is it just me? I would never intentionally disrupt somebody else's enjoyment of whatever they were doing by imposing my excitement on them. It just seems so selfish.
