25 years ago I might have yelled "You Suck!" and beat my chest proclaiming my fanhood.

Those 25 years are behind me now. These days I see that behavior as inappropriate, and certainly not something I would want my daughter to see me doing. Anymore, I just mumble to myself "Man, we suck", and shake it off. I can certainly see where players might find it offensive.

The thing is that sometimes the truth hurts. They did suck yesterday. As a fan I might feel like expressing that. As a player I might think a fan expressing that is mostly clueless. I think both have valid points.
