Hate crimes for NFL fans


Steven Colbert on his Feb 11, 2014 show: "Could the NFL have its first openly gay player and if so will rooting against his team be a 'hate crime'?"

I am pro gay rights.  I am also against the entire notion of greater punishment for "hate crimes" than "non-hate crimes".  Let's determine the sentence based on what actually happened rather than the very subjective motive question.

    So, are you also opposed to trying defendants for first-degree murder based on a specific intent to kill?
