Bob, in 10 years of watching the game on British TV I’ve never seen a baseball crowd rip up their seats and start throwing them at one another. Or launch fireworks at the opposing fans. Or start a riot after the game.

Nobody really cares who wins a corporate event like a baseball game. Most of the fans have no idea who the players are and are too busy slobbing out to pay much attention to what is happening. Maybe some people take soccer too seriously but at least at the international level it is not a mere consumer product like baseball. They even refer to teams as “franchises”.
