Agreed. My town has a major rivalry with another town in a particular sport. Bad blood all around, violence is a given when the teams play against each other, despite increased police presence.

When I was younger, one player from "our" team moved to the rival team. And the people in my town lost their shit: death threats, public calls for violence against the player, public burnings of his jersey/autographs/merchandise/effigies. It was batshit insane. And it was before the advent of social media, this was organised old school with phone trees and strangers in the grocery store bonding by saying the nastiest shit about the player. Grown ass adults, with jobs and families and kids, burning shirts and autographs in their backyard and making a huge production of it, just because one guy decided to play for a team they didn't like.

And then other grown ass adults talked on the radio and on TV about the hatred the player received both from our town but also the fans of the team he moved to and how the reaction was to be expected, as if two towns full of adults not being able to regulate their emotions at all was perfectly normal.
