    Did you hear the same behavior about soccers or tennis fan ? Do they threaten the children of referees by example.

    Never heard such behavior. There is a part of the gamer community which is strongly toxic and seems to have no limits.

      Uh… they sometimes kill players when they mess up in crucial games (soccer - colombia national team), and stab other players who threaten their favourite (tennis - Monica seles fan).

      Edit: it was a Steffi graf fan who stabbed Monica seles.

      Soccer? You mean the fans who are known to riot? Sometimes when they win?
