Tragic story, but what's the reality?

The Bryan Stow story is tragic, but are we right to continue to make this tragedy about the fact that this Young father of 2 was beaten because of the jersey he wore?

Bryan Stow was beaten almost near death by two unknown suspects, Opening Day of the L.A. Dodgers game against the San Francisco Giants. If you are an avid fan of the sport or are up on sports rivalries, this is one for the ages. Well, sort of. The battles between North and South California sports teams is something of interests primarily because of the way in which these teams were founded, from swaps by owners etc.
No one believes that anybody going to enjoy America's greatest pastime should ever not be able to walk out on their own. I would like to think that no one would expect this to happen on any day that they are excited to be enjoying something fun. And particularly for this fan Bryan Stow visiting his World Championship Team on their first game of the season against the Dodgers, this was not what he expected either. But I wonder if we are right in our assessment that this senseless act was simply because Stow happened to be in a Giants jersey.
People attack other people for reasons other than just the clothing they are wearing. I recognize that this might be the easiest of assumptions, primarily because 7 weeks after the attack there hadn't still been a mainstream lead (i.e. arrest) in the case. We don't know why the attackers did what they did and if it was in fact because he was in a Giants jersey then I will let this argument go, but I am fearful, that we will continue to pit this attack on the fact that Stow was a Giants fan, when maybe it wasn't just about that. I urge the media to take the language that yes, this was a tragic event, no person should go to an event fearing for their life, and that maybe this was one isolated incident specific to the team Stow associated with, but I think it paints an ugly picture of Dodgers fans and makes people think that because of this one act, that all fans are like this.
I don't know just my thoughts.
