I'm going to guess that some abusers try to use Football as a get out of jail card, similar to when parents used to blame GTA or Manhunt as to why their child just dismembered someone else's body, because unfortunately certain individuals can't just accept that they have issues.

Of course they're abusive all the time, the point is that statistically attacks and assaults go up on Old Firm match days specifically because these men get "passionate" about the football and take out their frustration on the people around them. Like children. Grown adults should be able to keep their "passions" in check and not let them affect their behaviour. On this thread, "getting carried away" was being used as justification for grown adults acting without thinking. It might be the explanation - but it isn't an excuse. It's just a game, and they need to grow up.
