When Sport is taking too far...At the end of the day it's still just a game

Sport can really affect people's moral judgement. At the the end of the day it's all just a game, but some people really dont feel that way, especially "fans". Last weeknd Boise State was one of the few undefeated divison 1 football teams left in the nation. Looking for their first chance to play in a National Championship game. In order to do that they had to beat #19 Nevada. Long story short, Field goal kicker Kyle Brotzman choked on not one but two field goal oppurtinities that cost Boise State the game, and the hopes of playing in a BCS title game. After the game Brotzman had reported death threats, and thousands of disgusting facebook comments left on his page. Where do we draw the line? At the end of the day , this is still a kid who just had a bad athletic day...get over it. Sport can really mess with peoples morals. I bet if that was their son or daughter who was the cause of a loss of a game, you would think twice about bashing.
