They definitely can be. I stopped wearing my Avs gear after a game a few years ago. I am not an obnoxious fan, I barely even cheer for them, just watch the game. But after a game against the Flames that Smyth scored in OT I had people throwing popcorn and stuff at me. That was enough for me.
I remember back in the '97 playoffs in edmonton when I was a pretty young we had guys up in the nosebleeds throw beer at us after a game and threaten to attack my dad. We weren't particularly loud either. I never wear Avs gear to games after that even though there's rarely an issue.
