Mick, what is the object of these primal screams in your learned opinion, no matter how long they are?

My own opinion is that it's a borrowed practice from the NBA, and its only done for one of two reasons, or maybe both reasons---> (1) drawing attention to themselves a la chest beating, etc., or (2) taunting the other team.
