Beating dead horses: the illogical text message/throwing bottle syndrome

[pebblesForstate]

I know this will probably get locked but can someone explain to me the logic behind the thought process of:

1. Sending a text message to an opposing player on an opposing team?
2. Throwing something onto a basketball court in public?

I just don't understand how a logical person with rational sense can mentally go through the exercise ofsending a text message to an opposing player's cell phone hoping to get a rise, reaction or whatever by the receiving person. Do these people really think this will make any difference in the grand scheme of things? Is their life really that shallow and so attention driven that this will give them the much needed headline they need in their pathetic lives?

Also, how do you think through the process of this: damn our player got shafted on that play or on that no-call or that horrible call, etc. And now I am so mad I can't control my mouth or my actions so I must proceed to hurl my drink, cup or high-heels (ole miss football reference) onto the playing surface. Do these individuals really think this will make any difference in this world other than showing their *** or lack of maturity?

I've come to assume that most people who do these things have something mentally off in them. It seems something in their brains is not completely developed. It just doesn't seem like Normal behavior.

But maybe i'm the dubmass for asking such questions, flame away!

normal behavior. Bottom line, people are simply different. I would no more throw a bottle during a sporting event than I would jump out of an airplane. Yet, many enjoy sky-diving and do it as routinely as brushing their teeth. Likewise, a percentage of people cannot control their emotions and would throw a water bottle as easily as they would bust someone over the head with a cowbell.
