Fiery support: Fans of PSV Eindhoven celebrate winning the Dutch Championship in the Netherlands last week. Fans in many European leagues are so passionate about their teams that most can get violent if their teams under perform. Mourinho (below) did not make it as a player but as a coach he is one of the most successful around.
Non-sports people always ask me, why are we sports fans so crazy? Why do we shout and scream at the TV when our team is not winning? Why do we post such strong comments on social media and criticise players and coaches like we are the experts? Why are we so negative?
My answer is that sports, or our favourite sport, is our passion.
