But I have taken more abuse, and even been threatened once or twice, just for cheering for them. I don't mind snide remarks or anything like that, Lord knows I've heard them all, but to threaten someone just for cheering for their team?? I just don't get it.

No, I live in Dallas. The sentiment down here is "let's beat everybody, but especially the Redskins!" People in this city hate for their teams to lose in any sport. Dallas fans have been called fair-weather fans, but that's not entirely true. When the team is losing, we don't stop being fans. We just start trying to be the coach too!
