I get being interested in the sport and enjoying a game for the skill displayed, but getting all worked up because you side with some team for totally arbitrary reasons? I can understand that it might make things more interesting, but how do you even do that?

Ask soccer fans all over Europe, Central, and South America. Or baseball fans in Japan or Cuba. It's common all over the planet. I grew up in Boston which is one of the biggest sporting hotbeds in the US and has been for generations. Sports were huge when I was a kid. Everyone played and everyone had their idols. It was just the way it was.
During my lifetime the 4 major Boston Sports teams have played in the big game 37 times and have won 25 championships.
If you don't get it that's fine. But I and many millions of others will continue to dig getting passionate about "our" teams.
