Professional sports create toxic environments.
Which are then mimicked and recreated by fans. See the ever-present comments on pro-riders being "fat" (^^^^^) and commuter's obsessed with having a pro-cyclist's physique.
(Although I don't mean to draw equivalences between this and what is being described in the the article Charlie linked - just note that the toxicity spreads)

Same with gatuso and his line about inzaghi being a good boy and only eating plain pasta etc.
