@Louis,
Were that the case. I should note that our country is not immune to also enduring some occasional bouts of excessive sports exuberance as evidenced by these photos taken from a 2011 hockey riot in Vancouver after the home team was eliminated from the Stanley Cup finals. The resulting damage from this incident was estimated at just under $4 million.
Although... it does appear in the last photo also taken from that same riot that this lad at least still has his priorities in tact
(BTW, it turns out that the bloke in the photo was an Aussie... and given that, all that is missing is a couple of cans of Foster's Lager beside them for afterwards
)
In fact, our experience in these types of displays encompasses one notable incident in my own home province & city that goes back to 1955 in what has been dubbed
The Richard Riot and which in some quarters has taken on a far greater significance than a mere sports riot in the decades since it happened.
The sight of French Quebecers rioting over the perceived slight to a Quebec cultural icon like Maurice "Rocket" Richard (At that time, our hometown hockey equivalent to your own Lionel Messi) who was suspended following an earlier on ice incident, which in turn caused him to be barred from participating in the Stanley Cup finals that year (and which his team subsequently lost) has led many commentators to believe it was
a significant factor in Quebec's Quiet Revolution of the 1960s, and was the initial spark which eventually dramatically changed future Quebec relations within the Canadian Federation.
The cause of the riot it has been suggested was not a result of the severity of the suspension handed to Richard; but rather what mattered was that the anglophone president of an anglophone league had suspended a iconic Francophone Quebec player. French Canadians at the time saw themselves as inherently disadvantaged within Canada and North America as a whole.
