"SUCH IDENTITIES BECOME ESPECIALLY INTENSE IN THE
CRUCIBLE OF A BIG SPORTING EVENT.(PG 2 HANDWARK)"

To explain in more detail the inner need to belong, which was originally from a survival instinct makes you feel ok with something as long as the group feels it's ok. The bigger the group the more people will take on that identity and act up as well.
This group identity makes people feel safe from individual persecution while Believing that they need to act with the group. With the size of a huge sporting event, people feel even less individually identified.
The connection is to the book 1984. The biggest connection is during the 2 min hate. Also, the brain washed citizens, all across the text, are examples. All individuals, during the hate, act entirely different than how they would normally act. They feel for only at that time that they were a part of the big group, the party. This they believed would excuse their actions.
