49ers WR Williams recieves death threats for fumble? COME ON PEOPLE GET A LIFE!, page

"I hope you, youre wife, kids and family die, you deserve it," read one of the ugly tweets from an enraged 49ers fan.

Ok so it appears that after coughing up a fumble in the loss to the Giants on Sunday Kyle Williams recieved some Very nasty tweets from a few idiotic no life having fans. I am not a Niners fan, far from it actually but these fans are a disgrace to football fans everywhere. So a guy blew a big play BIG DEAL life goes on. Was I pissed a few years back when Tony Romo 2 seasons in a row screwed up for Dallas in the playoffs? Yes but did I go and say nasty things about him on Twitter? NO! I just dont understand how some fans (most of which probably havent even made it to college level playing themselves) can get this outraged at something like that. So your team is out of the playoffs because of this guys mistake ok be upset but dont act like an @ss. Besides this guy makes more money than a year than you will in your pathetic lowlife any way. An even more so Williams has stepped up and admited his mistakes and takes responsibility for them. The sad part is these same fans will probably be the same ones up on his jock when he starts making big plays next season. So any thoughts from any other ATSers on the reactions of these fans?

Very nasty tweets.....

Same thing.

I just dont understand how some fans (most of which probably havent even made it to college level playing themselves) can get this outraged at something like that.

I just don't understand how you could think that something which is called a 'Tweet', is an actual legitimate death threat, which should be taken seriously.

So any thoughts from any other ATSers on the reactions of these fans?

Calm down. It'll be ok.

You have good points here about the colleges being more focused on sports. Many use it only as a stepping stone into the pros and not for educational purpouses. Some people just arent into sports as most are.

It's a hobby, interest or past time. It's entertainment, just like anything else that is entertainment. I don't get why people are into model trains but I don't get upset about it when someone talks about them, or wants to put on their conductor hat and play choo choo. I don't get how some people can be into hunting, but I don't get upset about it. See what I'm getting at? Different people have different interests.

Maybe stop getting upset about what other people are doing or talking about around you. Life's too short.

Maybe it would be better if I clarify. I don't get upset at the other people, unless I feel that they personally take it too far. I think a better way to describe my feelings is that I get frustrated because I don't understand why they like it so much, and I wish that I could understand personally, so that I too may enjoy it. I mean almost everybody enjoyes it, and almost everybody always talks about it. I general feel left out when sports conversations begin around the office or church.

But alas, I have never understood it, something about the way my brain must work, its just not possible for me to get into it, and believe me, I have tried. So I don't feel angry or hatred toward those who enjoy sports, which is just about everybody. I just feel frustrated, kinda like when somebody tells a joke and you dont understand it, and wish you could.

Now, I do feel angry when people joke about my not enjoying sports. I also feel angry when people take sports to what seems like an extreme. And I do honestly get angry at how sports seems to make or brake schools, instead of academics or arts.

But I don't feel angry at general people who enjoy sports or other hobbies that I don't get.
