A lot of it has to do with endorphins and adrenaline pumping through your system from an intense match. With athletes it's called a 'flow' state, (I think) and much like tunnel vision or getting keyed into something your body will process certain senses over others. Sight and touch will feel more pronounced while smell might fall in the background a bit. Also there is such a thing as becoming nose-blind. I grew up with my dads hockey gear just being out in the basement and I got used to the smell just being around, I barely even noticed it anymore when I went in the basement to grab something.

I can see it being gross if it's between a player and a non-fan SO, but generally if you're watching/into the sport and/or playing it you just become accustomed to the look/smell/experience.
