Wishing injury on a player makes you a complete tool and a terrible sports fan in my opinion.

IMO, yes everytime. I hate the football team from the university of Texas. It brings joy to my heart when they get pummled and scores of their fare weather fans stream out of the stadium. But, in 06 when the aggies stuffed Colt McCoy's four attempts to get past his line of scrimmage and won. I was elated. The last hit was a brutal blindside I jumped and cheered the hit and the victory...until Keith Jackson said "McCoy is down and isn't moving". The needle skipped off the record and u went from hating my for to being genuinely concerned for this young man and his future. Turns out he was just made out of paper, but the point is sports mean sportsmanship

Yes. It's terrible and makes you look pathetic if you do it. In the end, it's just a game.
Like today, for example, when Saints fans cheered (what they thought) was a Cam Newton injury. It's just sad.

It's not a case of damaging someone with your mind, it's a case of showing some class and not taking a game that you're not personally involved with that seriously. Well, the debate of whether or not it's "classy" is pretty subjective in the already tacky world of pro sports, but the question was whether or not it was "wrong" which I took to mean morally right or wrong. I don't see any moral qualms with wishing harm to a pro-athlete. Like on the spectrum of what's morally wrong, it doesn't seem like its even on the radar.Yes.

In baseball, how should fans react to a pitcher retaliating against an opponent by plunking a batter? It's not really something I cheer on, but it's one of those "part of the game" deals.

Intentional plunkings (today) rarely result in serious injury, though. They usually just smack them on the numbers or the butt with the ball.

I remember when this football player from either the Giants or the Bills back in the Super Bowl 2 decades ago hit Joe Montana so hard that he suffered a concussion. One guy at school acted as if it was a cool thing that it happened. It wasn't cool nor was it funny.

Wishing for injury is about as classy as giving the middle finger as you eat a sandwich to a bunch of starving and diseased orphans.
