You have to ask yourself why things are that way. Does certain clothing suddenly make it okay to antagonize or attack people? Would you publicly boo someone who likes different music than you, or eats different food, or looks different? Maybe some football fans don't "know what they're getting into." Wearing a jersey shouldn't mean you're "getting into" anything.

Just because something is human nature doesn't mean it's good. Sports trash talk might not be a massive societal issue but it's still toxic. It does, in fact, lead to murder sometimes and it's very easy to look that information up.

I agree that most people don't take booing personally or seriously. Some people definitely do, though. Wearing a Dallas jersey shouldn't be an invitation to be antagonized. Some people just want to enjoy the game and support their team.

Saying "fuck the cowboys" and a crowd of people booing a single Cowboys fan doesn't sound like light-hearted fun to me. Anyway I'm not saying it's a whole societal problem, just saying the hatred is idiotic and unnecessary. Even if it's just friendly trash talk, some people are going to take it too far.
