Can fans cheering/screaming/bashing their fists affect the outcome of a game played across the world via statistical mechanics?

>>17003527Cheering obviously has an effect on player psyche which then has an effect on the game. Feeling the crowd is on your side makes you push yourself harder while if the crowd is against you it demoralizes you but that's only generic theory. The actual effect is much more random and individual player dependent and I don't think the effect would be obvious from statistics. What's more fans also react to the game, intense games where the home team wins will get more cheers than where the home team loses which will inevitably drowns out any easy statistical comparisons, if you just plug loudness meters and compare scores you will probably find that the cheering correlates with the game state but it's caused by the game state and the cheering doesn't cause the game state.
