Announcers go silent on two goals.

2. I see that crap at high school games all the time

I find it sickening. At that level they ought to be teaching sportsmanship but many times I’ve been at a game where they go nuts when the home team scores and barely announce it when the other side scored. After acting like that I’m happy to se the home team lose. If it is happening well before the end there’s almost silence from the announcers (and parents and fans), although when winning they are over the top cheering. On the other hand I’ll ask my son how the other team’s players were, expecting them to be similarly obnoxious and he usually said they were fine. In the most extreme cases where the games are reffed by locals it can be very obvious that the calls favor the home team. I guess this stuff pretty much happens when the game is at the home field and the home crowd is much usually larger.
