Sometimes fans go too far

The sad thing is that it was the player who ended up apologizing. It seems like football fans are morphing into soccer fans and the game is that much poorer for the transition:

 

Green Bay Packers safety Nick Collins says he should have just walked away, no matter what a fan might have done or said to him after Monday night's loss at Chicago.

 

Collins apologized to his team and his fans on Wednesday for drawing negative attention to the Packers after he confronted a fan as he left the field and threw his mouthpiece into the stands.

 

Collins was walking toward the locker room when he stopped and got into a shouting match with a fan. Milwaukee's WITI-TV captured video of the incident, reporting that the fan spit on Collins and used a racial slur.

It's still not close. Some soccer fans still throw peanuts and bananas at black players.
