The phrase "the madness of crowds" seems to have been coined to describe the deleterious effects of sports on the human brain. Something about being surrounded by fellow fans all focusing their attention on the performance of their on-field representatives as they engage in simulated Freudian combat gets people really wild. And, thankfully, sometimes people catch it on video. Check out these sports fan freak out videos!

| 4 | Streaker Vs Riot Police |
Soccer fans are well-known for being absolutely out of control, and this sports fan freak out video basically sums up everything wonderful about them. It opens up with the riot police beating down a streaker. That doesn't endear them to the crowd, who respect a man's right to nudity and storm the pitch to deliver a beat down.
| 3 | Fan Vs. Tie Domi |
This is a pretty great sports freak out video, but it needs a little setup. This dude gets squirted with a water bottle by Tie Domi from the penalty box, and he doesn't take it lightly. He also doesn't take meals lightly, as when he leans into the box to get at Domi, it collapses under his weight, sending him to the floor and a serious beat down.
| 2 | It's Still Real To Me |
It's kind of a stretch to call professional wrestling a sport, but when you watch a legendary sports fan freak out video like this, you want to believe too. At some Q&A in South Carolina featuring stars of wrestling's past, young David Wills was overcome with emotion and gave a speech that will live in infamy.
