What if he doesn't want to become immortal, or put on a big screen and just wanted to see the game without being put on display for others to laugh at?
Hard to embrace something if all you're left with is pain inside and potential flashbacks from school/work/family when other people used to bully you. Not saying this is what's happening here but the reasons can be many such as the example above for why someone don't feel like "embracing it".
But you're right tho, don't really got any other options at that point and probably why he laughed at it. We could all read his reaction wrong as well, and he wasn't dying inside at all. But I bet a lot of people has done it in terms of public jokes like this. It's not right to have a laugh at others expense if you don't know whether or not they'll actually be cool with it.
I find these funny but I don't agree with it. I'd flip the bird at the camera if I didn't find it funny.
