I'm not suggesting every locker room is a den of malignancy but you can't tell me that you're not surprised by threats against family members in one locker room and a straight up psycho killer in another.

I think what we're seeing is just a greater degree of tolerance for much more evil things for those with talent. We always knew this happened, but perhaps we didn't realize to what extent this is happening now.
