It can lead to strong competitive mindsets from the fans and players, which intensifies the emotional side of sports- it’s kinda like patriotism. Being proud of where you come from and the team that represents that place, and when that is disrespected by another person from another place, it then sets an aggressive mood leading to mire negative and intense competitive spirit
The reason I am saying this is if you punish someone and make them do physical activity they have a good chance of hurting themselves. If you are going to do it with them that is different but by themselves it can hurt them.
