The Four Steps to a meltdown:
Step 1 : Announcer speaks cryptically about something taking place off-video: "I dunno if you saw it, but there was a very awkward interaction with the coaches at midfield...."
Step 2 : Announcers never follow up to explain what that meant, leaving door open to speculation.
Step 3: Fans suppose the losing coach probably must have disrespected the winning coach in some way (utterly untrue, as it turns out, but not illogical as a supposition).
Step 4: Someone on a fan forum asks what it was all about, and dozens of people start posting vitriol based on their wrong assumptions; the non-existent slight takes on a life of its own, and soon a crowd with pitchforks is on the e-march.

I swear, sometimes I think the internet is the greatest invention of mankind, and sometimes I believe it will destroy civilization entirely.
