Cheering for overwhelming talent

You have a pickup game between the Boston Celtics and your local junior high team. Boston wins, of course, and the Celtics fans just go crazy.

Sounds absurd, doesn't it? But that is exactly what happens (although not quite that extreme) all the time. The Bruisers play the Anemics, and you would think the Bruisers just won the title against overwhelming odds, to hear their fans cheer. Sort of like the Roman coliseum.
