When I think about it, at a basketball game the crowd is screaming "defense, defense", but not because they necessarily praising their defenders, they're just cheering the team. <br /><br />A basketball team has the advantage that ALL of the players on the court regularly contribute to scoring, rather than in football, where it is pretty rare for the backfield to score a key goal. <br /><br />So it's not so much the fans are different, i think in both cases fans appreciate goals being scored. It just so happens defenders in basketball (or even sports like hockey) contribute to scoring a lot more often.Jon Penneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645655549853010069noreply@blogger.com
