A man by the name of Yuttana Choochongkol, 30 was charged with making a terroristic threat against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He sent many letters to Heinz Field, the home stadium of the Steelers. One part of a letter wrote, “The Steelers game will be packed, and that's when I plan on killing Steelers football players and fans before taking my own pitiful life.” Another part of a letter wrote, “After all, what does a person that is going to commit suicide have to lose? Absolutely nothing. So why not take out some million dollar Steelers players before me? Sounds like a good idea. Hahahahahah.” The police tracked the IP address back to a medical trial company in San Antonio.
How would you react to the threats? I personally would not be scared because I would think that it is just another person who doesn't like the team/
If you were a player would you play your next game? Why or Why not? I would play the next game because the amount of hate each team gets I doubt he would do anything or the players would even see it.

Be sure to capitalize words in your title and also include personal thoughts within your summary. I also think you could have commented more. -10 late
1. I will take the threat serious because if I don't it may happen and things will be crazy.
2. Yes, if they catch the person and no if they didn't.
I would be very upset that someone was so degrading on not only themselves, but also the football players and all of their fans. If I was a player, I would still play to show that threats like that won't stop us from being a team and doing what we love.
If I was a steelers fan I would be upset and maybe worried that he would kill the players. But most likely it could just be an NFL fan who really dislikes the Steelers. If I were a player I would play because a lot of threats end up never happening and if it did their is security and they would see if he had any weapons before entering the game.
I would be a little worried because he doesn't sound like he is right in the head so you never know what he would do, I would still play because there is security at the fields so it would be hard to get in with a weapon.
I would be very cautios and take this into serious consideration even though he may not go through with what he said what he is threatening to do would be devastating. I would play the next game and make sure to aware people of a possible problem but I would continue to play.
I would agree to let people be know of the situation. I would not take it too much consideration because the security would hopefully take care of it before and thing happens.
i would try not to over react to the threats becuse it could just be someone upset about a game or upset with what a player said if i was a player i would play because playes probely get death threats all the time
It depends if this person was like saying it in an funny way or a serious way, if it was serious I would be kinda scared. Yes definelty I would not just not play the next game because of the past I would just let it all pass by.
I would not react to heavily to this because many famous people get death threats anyway. Another reason I would not be too worried is because of the highly trained security at a big event like a NFL game. I would play the next game because I would not be too worried about the threats.
