emotional words and phrases from real-life that are used in Sports terms and do not reflect the actual hate and venom the real-life situations depicted --- i.e. "Kill the Packers" chant Chicago Bears fans, but they don't want to physically kill the Green Bay Packers (we assume) --- you follow? --- Go Bears!!!
Bears fans hope the Lions "sack the Pack" --- in a sport-speak "Kill the Packers"
