I'm not sure why I'm replying since it appears that everyone is repeatedly posting their opinions without bothering to read, process, and understand the opinions of others. But I'll do it anyway.

Have you ever been to a sporting event? Football games are an excellent example. Most of the game people sit in the stands and cheer while when their team makes a good play. Usually when the QB throws a bomb to a streaking receiver people stand in anticipation of a long completion. Occasionally the team gets a much needed sack, completes a long pass, or gets a long run (some teams unfortunately accomplish these feats less often than others ) and fans all over the stadium stand to and go nuts. Sure it's possible to be excited while sitting, but it's easier to get more excited and show your excitement while standing. People spontaneously stand and cheer when they're excited; it's human nature, you can't change it.
