Have you ever been triggered by sports?

Yes, this is what happens when you're emotionally invested in a team.
I get irritable if Duke is losing in basketball games and can only be around other fans who'll talk about the game only and give you a fist pump if something good happens and say a silent "Fvck" when the other team goes on a run or we miss shots.
Watching games with others who don't care and instead are trying to network with you, talk about their job or other random things and ask you the score to pretend like they care are the worst.
There are times that if I could have gotten my hands on a referee something quite untoward would have happened.
In my younger years I used to hit walls and yell at people. Now I just smoke some pot and fall asleep.
The answer is 100% yes for anyone that has watched a game with Brad Davison.
None of the worst moments in my life have anything to do with sports
ehh,it's UVA. A fan can only care so much.
Not real sure what triggered actually means tbh. I've been pissed when my team has lost. I've never taken that out on another living person though. Maybe cursed or something. I'm a Reds fan though so that has helped me learn to deal with cheering for losers.
Oh...I will throw my own team under the bus at a moments notice and make the devil blush with my foul mouth. Rivalry and tourney games get me Rev’d up. Add in cheering for the USA in the olympics in any event— I’m a crazy person.
Not as much as I’ve gotten older, but, yeah I’ve been so mad before I came off the ground.
Indiana 2002 game was the worst for me. Had to go outside and let out all of the rage.
Two incidents:
yeah. Can’t say I am proud of these two moments after the game.
Auburn vs uva final 4.
auburn vs FSU 2013 national title game in football.

are you a real fan if you havent? I watch 75% of my teams games alone at home or only with other die hard fans because i cant be a psycho in public
Oh yeah. The UK-Sparty 2005 Elite 8 game was not one of my finer moments
As a UGA and Falcon guy do I need to say anything more than the UGA/Bama national championship and Falcons/Patriots super bowl happened within a year of each other? To be honest I haven’t emotionally really cared about a game since then. I just enjoy it in the moment and enjoy going with best friends I only really see during game days.

I think that was the loudest Rupp Arena ever cheered for IU.
same here. I used to get really angry. Back in high school I was a huge Indiana fan. We had a kid living at our house my senior year, goalie on our hockey team from Canada. He started making fun of me after Kentucky beat Indiana and I chased him around the house and picked him up and slammed him into the wall causing a butt sized depression in the drywall.
Nowadays I just lay on the couch calling everyone on my team dummies for 2 hours and then fall asleep.
Without a doubt. Great crowd and atmosphere. Just hate how it ended.
IU fans travel well. I still cringe at all the red in there.
Yep. Kind of felt like a road game. Nothing compared to the 2017 2nd Round game against South Carolina, but still very noticeable.
