San Francisco 49ers goats Kyle Williams was subjected to hateful tweets after the NFC Championship Game - NFL News | FOX Sports on MSN

Some fans need to get their head examined.

"@KyleWilliams_10. I hope you, youre wife, kids and family die, you deserve it," read one of the ugly tweets.

Everybody in the world knows Kyle Williams f'd up. He knows, his teammates know it, his coaches know it, everyone knows it. But to be so f'd in the head that you have to go to his Twitter account and say that kinda shit directly to him takes another kind of asshole entirely.

That just isn't right. If someone is that mentally ill that they feel the need to post something as abusive as that, they shouldn't even be allowed to have an internet connection.

Considering that people shoot, stab and fight each other in the parking lots over a game, are you really surprised?

No, not really, but I also feel like those same people probably go to games looking into instigate. I'm not an ethics expert by any stretch but your average intelligent sports fan wouldn't go to that level.

Ah, but are average sports fans intelligent enough in the first place? Actually, intelligent isn't the best word. Moral or ethical is better.

That's a debate for someone more qualified than I. Good question though. I do feel like most people wouldn't take it to that level. I think the only people that would take things to that level are of questionable intelligence anyways. Once you say it you can't take it back. If the guy who wrote that was someone I knew I'd be putting him on blast and severing all ties to him.

Imo, booze and anger...are two goons always trying to murder...or at least stun Lady Reason so they can get their facetime. For only a temporary moment, the fan turns into the raging fan, and the raging fan's moral compass is going just a bit haywire until he becomes just a fan again.

Good thing the league willingly acknowledges that and takes maximum preventative measures to keep that from happening during games, instead of massively promoting it as it is a key source of income.

Oh wait

Has anyone ever seen "Big Fan" starring Patton Oswalt? Now that's definitely not an average fan... Interestingly, he plays a hardcore NYG's fan.

I've seen that movie, it's pretty great. I've often wondered what I or someone else would do if we were in Oswalt's position. If it were me I'd probably sue the athlete and press charges, I wouldn't want a prick like that playing for the Skins anyways, and on top of that I'd want him to pay for any and all damages occured, i.e. hospital bills, pay for wages lost, etc.

Correct. Even the dumbest of people understand the concept of unprovoked violence is wrong.

I'd beat his ass, then prosecute. I've accepted that fact that there are many asshole players out there (NBA/NFL/MLB/MLS/NHL/etc) and are human like everybody else. Which is primarily the reason I never put them up on pedestals like many fans do. I don't want their autograph, I don't care if they are going to attend this club I'm visiting, I don't even care if they are sitting next to me in a restaurant. I just want them to produce come game day and act like non-retarded civilians on the outside.

Big Fan is great and should be mandatory watching for all Warpath members. We all have a little "Big Fan" in us, gotta keep things in perspective.

The movie is a true story based on Giantone's life , with a stellar performance by Michael Rapaport as Philadelphia Phil.

One could infer from Giantone's typing that he is only smart enough to work as a toll booth operator.

Speaking of fans, I'm not sure if I would ever hit that "crazy" fan stage in my life. I have seen some fans do things that I would never ever even contemplate. Greeting the Redskins, at Redskins park, when they roll out on the team bus or greet them when they arrive home from away games at Redskins park. I know fans right now that do that every single away game. They end up spending about 3 hours (drive to and there and 45 mins waiting) just to wave at the players on the bus driving past them. Now, to each their own really, but I simply have too many other things going on in my life to ever dedicate myself like that to the Redskins.
