Danny Green says he hasn’t been paying much attention to social media, but his fiancee let him know that they’re both getting death threats. He says he’s not the type to worry about that. “People are emotional. Fans are emotional. I hope people don’t take it that seriously.”

This is nothing short of absolutely pathetic. If you send death threats to an athlete over a missed shot, then you deserve to be arrested.
If you send death threats to an athlete because of the way a game went, then you deserve everything coming your way.
Not only are you a loser, but you deserve to be held accountable.
I love sports more than anyone else I know, but at the end of the day, it’s still a game that you can walk away from.
If you’re so invested that you hunt down athletes on social media to threaten them, then you need to seek some serious help.

Hopefully, the authorities find these idiots and remind them that this kind of conduct is unacceptable.
