Im of two minds,
1. Words being said never justify violence, I've had hurtful words including racist remarks said to me at one time or another in my life and outside of childhood, I've understood that violence is not the correct response to it and not the morally or legally correct decision to make.
2. Some people say some disrespectful things, especially after drinking, and are of the belief that everyone is going to react rationally. Not everyone is a rational actor, so its not unreasonable to think people should have some filter and operate with some wise discretion and not be lulled into the idea that because you are at a sporting event and paid for good seats, that you can say some wild stuff and only get the level of reaction you are hoping for.
Now Im not saying that #2 applies here, if someonetold me that Pat Bev overheared someone talking about something unrelated and thought it was directed at him, or even invented the person saying something in his head and lashed out, I would believe it.
