I don't get it either... two of my male friends are angry and frustrated when their favorite team loses or it even makes them cry.
(so obviously men do cry, on some occasions
)
I asked one of them "why is it impossible for you to simply enjoy the game, no matter who wins?"
Because even if they lose this time, they will win some other time again, so what's the point of crying over that?
he just looked at me, and said "because I want my team to win".

Agree with Eddie, it must be inherent in the dualistic world we live in. I don't think it makes sense in higher dimensions, to think of "us vs. them"
- it is rather "us with them".
