I'm still amazed that a loss or a victory by a bunch of young men with no historical, educational, or residential connection to a city can inspire rage, joy, rioting, or even more than a casual "oh, good" amongst the citizenry. What possible identification can they feel with a team that has the same basic geographical spread as every other team?
In other words: "We won!!"? WTF is "we"?
