Think of it as if your kid was playing on the field. Would you boo them off, or keep cheering them on, even if they were having a bad day. Cheering as reward vs cheering as incentive.
Besides that, if you "get slapped around like a little girl on the field" you actually get rewarded for your failure with higher draft picks. In Europe, failure is punished by dismissal from the top leagues and the corresponding loss of money. No Club has the absolute right to play anywhere, unlike the franchise system with its closed leagues and exclusive markets.
At least we agree that there are cultural differences: Centuries of conflict and strife in the old world are represented in the political, religious, and social identities attached to different soccer clubs.
A club like Barcelona represents a centuries-old ideal of Catalan freedom from the oppressive monarchists of Real Madrid. Celtic are Republican Catholics vs the Loyalist Protestant Rangers, and in Eastern Europe you get communist vs anti-communists, vs militarists vs secret police etc. Your club represents and validates your identity and belief system. This is one of the reasons why there is so much passion for the game.
If you want to learn more about it, I suggest you read "How soccer explains the world"

Which is what I should have done before we went into this argument.
Yeah that's actually an extract from the book as well! Shows how much winning it on home soil means to Brazilians

Pick up Rafael Honigstein's Das Reboot. It's a great read!
Yes
Read this... which includes a fixed match at the 2006 World Cup.

There's a whole book covering the college team he was on called Scoreboard, Baby. It's a much longer version of that article (it's by the same authors). It's well written, but reading it was difficult. As someone who really enjoyed college and still enjoys college football, it was a real reality check. That guy is fucking disgusting.
Possibly using something like this
Oh here's the guy I was originally looking for but couldn't find: Kurt Wise. He has a Ph.D. in geology from Harvard, maybe the best school in the entire world, and yet completely rejects all the overwhelming geological evidence there is that contradicts creation - he's a young earth creationist. And he has also written a book full of lies and bullshit:

So yeah, another example of how even an advanced degree in a relevant field from a top university doesn't preclude you from being a dumbass, which this guy has, for whatever reason, elected to be.
