Why are Amercan crowds so boring in sports?

The chants, the energy etc. everything is so fucking boring in the US.

Yesterday i was at my friends place and we watched Football match between Schalke and Pauli. The fans had way more energy and some of them launched fireworks in the arena. After Schalke won half the stadium literally stormed the field. Why is America so boring compared to that?

there's something called sound design, it's used to make you feel like you're on the court

Game 7 is like championship/elminitation point, and if the game is very back and forth and close, crowds get pretty active. You should see Kawhi's game winner against Philadelphia.
But other than that, earlier games can get pretty active if a worse team is beating a better team or if players get chippy against each other.

True. I think its because NA sports are like shows. Constant planned content and stuff like opening, ads, kiss cams, chants that are shown on screen etc. While for example Football in EU is all about the stuff itself and crowd with passion are just adding their own stuff.

Because America is the land of the individual, at least more so than anywhere else in the world. In Europe, your local team is part of your life! Like, supporting your team becomes a weekend hobby. American sports have short seasons, lots of ads/ breaks in play, and no away fans.

OFC teams in NA have fans, but the fan culture is not there. You see this in VCT when they cut to watch parties for teams like Kru and Zeta, these teams have little history but the people support them how they support their football teams. Compare to NA watchparties... well I haven't seen any in valo yet, at least in VCT.

It's a theater crowd. They just come to watch the sport, not to support the team

I can already see the downfrags raining in, but US sports is a capitalist product, not more not less. Everything feels so fake and tailored towards making as much profit as possible. Not saying that sports elsewhere aren't profit oriented or that there are no passionate fans in US sports, just saying that I feel like it's more extreme in America than anywhere else. The passion & dedication you see from european football fans is insane, I don't see that level of excitement from americans, the fan culture just isn't there imo...

I’ve only ever been to two stadiums. One was for a college basketball game and the other an NFL game both were in the regular season. I can tell you those college students/fans do not play around; they are passionate and loud as hell. In the NFL, the fans are supposed to be quiet when the home team has the ball and scream their lungs out when the visiting team has the ball to make communication harder and mess with their mental. The stadium would get to around 130 db. A lot of people here who are saying “American crowds are boring” clearly aren’t talking from experience

It's really based on the sport and time of year. Regular season is mid, but the playoffs are hype - mostly in American football and basketball
