I think you have no good counterargument. Good luck

> If you know enough about sports to wear a jersey you know what you’re getting into.
That's kind of the issue. Hatred shouldn't be a part of sports.

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.

Ribbing with friends is one thing. A crowd of people booing a stranger in public is a little different. I understand your point but not everyone who wears a Dallas jersey is asking to be booed or shit-talked.

It's tame until someone takes things a little too far. It's not common but people do get killed because of this. Give me one good reason why it's necessary for sports fans to antagonize other teams/fans.

An Eagles fan overheard the kid talking shit on the Eagles. He assaulted the kid, kid's dad stabbed the Eagles fan. Here's another:

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.

Hatred is fun to you?

I enjoy sports myself. "Enjoying sports" doesn't have to include hatred for fans of other teams.

It can definitely lead to hatred which sometimes leads to violence. 131 people just died in Indonesia after storming a soccer field when their team lost.

Tribalism is the best! Nothing like blind hatred for others based on the multi-millionaire athletes you were born closest to!

Can you elaborate on some of the "many people you've saved from injuries and robberies?"
