I’ve seen tables flipped, tv sets punched through, furniture thrown. And that’s just in the home.

How does one get to a place mentally where burning and destroying things, over a sportsball game seem a reasonable thing to do?

    Should ask somewhere else, you won’t find these people in a federated open-source communist link aggregator website.

      People who destroy things over computer game outcomes: Why?

        Not really. It’s just as irrational. Why destroy something because you lost a video game? I’ve been frustrated before due to a game, but never anywhere near frustrated enough to destroy something that I paid a lot of money for and am very happy with. At most I’ll slap my desk or something, but that’s nowhere near hard enough to have any effect.

        If this is true, then people in your home need some professional help. I have never seen something like that over a videogame
