As for yesterday, he was very strongly booed by the Cincinnati crowd, so you can imagine that that intensified his emotions. I don't think that fans can expect a one-way street (we abuse you, you have to smile at us). And throwing the ball into the crowd wasn't exactly wiping his backside on the goal-post or giving them the finger. Still, he broke the rules and will get fined. So be it.

A class act would have been to bury the hatchet, not to escalate. The fans had every right to boo the hero that had thrown them under the bus in order to leave town. Dillon, right or wrong, stabbed the Cincinnati fanbase in the back in order to force a trade. He could have proven the it was a calculated business decision by holding no grudge, and letting the boos roll off his back. He didn't. He did an encore performance of the nasty act he inflicted on the fans the last time.
I'm not demanding you to hate someone who's been great for you. I'm just saying Cincinnati fans are justified in their dislike.
