Los Angeles Lakers' Danny Green, and his fiancé received death threats for his missed shot, in Friday's game 5.

Really, his fiancé?

    Dan Devine's Packers went far in '72, but two years later, when Green Bay finished
    6-8, irate fans killed Devine's dog and dumped the corpse on his
    lawn.

    "Fan" is a shortened version of "Fanatic"; and that word can take you places where civilized behavior is nowhere to be seen.

    Green isn’t the first and definitely won’t be the last who had this happen to him, just others off the top of my head that went through the same:
    Bill Buckner
    Scott Norwood
    Bill Russell
    Hank Aaron
    Jackie Robinson
    Jose Canseco
    LeBron
    Steve Bartman

    At least Green’s team came back and won the series the following game.

    Chicago ran Steve Bartman out of town and he wasn’t even a player. Sick sports world.

    That young Colombian soccer player was murdered after he scored an own goal in the World Cup. Makes fans who throw batteries and snowballs at Santa look like angels.
