We as fans are also at risk just going to games, especially to away games wearing your teams jersey. There have been countless fans injured over the years, & I would bet more than one fan has died at a game or shortly after going to one. There would be no game without the fan, & the players would not be rich without the fan. Fan is an abbreviation of fanatic /adj; marked by excessive enthusiam and often intense uncritical devotion. Anyone that does not understand fans hating on former players is not a true fan, just a disinterested observer.
