Death threats from fans exist. I mean Kyle Williams got them when he fumbled in the playoffs.
I imagine racial things too would be expected and common.

I mean most people reacted negatively to 30m per year highest paid non QB rumor and wanted to trade Deebo away like he's worthless garbage for first round picks.
Adding in some emotional heated racist and death threats type to those comments isn't surprising.

lol. Pretty wide gap between the two.
Also, from a football perspective, trading anyone away for 1st round picks should indicate that person isn't viewed as garbage (by either party).

What a handful of idiots do is not the fan base. I am sure Deeb knows that.

The fanbase is so huge that not everyone is going to be decent human beings.

It's how I can imagine this behavior occurring:
1) Something caused a meltdown amongst fans
2) It escalated to harsher/severe language

I think it's at least understandable for fans to be upset Deebo is removing anything team related from social media, and reportedly asking for a huge contract that could theoretically hurt the team. Also don't think it's wrong to suggest trading him.
(These are not my positions FYI).
It's a whole different thing to issue death threats (a crime if a true threat) or to engage in hate speech.
Two completely different groups of people, even if the motivation for both is (partially) shared.

It's not fans money. It's not fans team. His social media is not ours. It's his.
He can do whatever the hell he wants. Some fans need a life.

I wouldn't refer to Idiots as fans. Those kind of people are all over social media sites spreading hateful messages to sports athletes, celebrities, ect.

Why should fans be upset over that? So fickle. It's like when fans see him wearing a dodgers hat on social media. He's an adult human being who gets to do what he wants with his social media lol.
