Who the hell Boos their own team in a key 4th quarter moment?

[rabidfireweasel]

I was yelling "go,go" and then booed in the late 3rd when they chose to send the punt team outfrom the Jets 45 after running Woodhead up the middle on a hurry up run.
I wasn't booing effort or execution, but play calling. I don't feel like that makes me less of a fan.

Are you a real rabbi, Mr. Dfireweasel?

and yet........here you are

Right, because I'm not arguing expecting people like you to understand. You seem to think your opinion is the only one that can be valid.
THAT was why the post was great, and the fact you don't get it makes it even better.

 

[Ring 6]

wrong.......you pay to do whatever you please within the rules of the establishment

you don't want to boo? don't boo

doesn't make you better than anyone else

Where has anyone said anything about being better than anyone else?

I find it immature to boo. You seem to find some merit, enjoyment and purpose in it. Great for you. But the fact that you pay to gain admittance does not mean doing something ignorant is no longer ignorant.

I agree people watch for different reasons, but much like a children's movie, their will be children in the stadium. That sets a responsibility to all adults to act accordingly, or understand that you are doing these crazy things in front of children. Who's parents later have you explain your actions, as being a jerk, drunk, stupid, or just not mature.
Every guy in America wants to take his son, and daughter to a game, and show them the thrill of being together and cheering together. How the team runs, and tradition.
Tell me how you explain to your 9 year old that Booing our own players is ok ?

Then try to teach him compassion, maturity, control, and don't put people down because they are not good at something, its not nice, the next day.
Your creating a paradox for the child. Dad says this is bad, but dad does it.

Well then you don't know New Orleans we a subtle and strict in most things.

I see this all the time,lol
" Johnny dont bother the man please, Johnny its rude to do that, john honey its not good behavior to bother a person unless they ask , ok. John, SMACK!!! "

The Billboards are already payed for with Goodell statements, and he will be curiously told that we have no wish to serve you here at almost every restaurant. Which they can do, and its legal.
Their will be signs in the stands, but Id be surprised if you hear a peep from the crowd.
We do stuff like this, catching him off guard, and giggle about it.


Goodell might be Booed if the Saints are in the Super Bowl, as soon as he shows up. Maybe, but thats a big maybe. If we do Boo him for that reason it will be because we want to show the boys support by Booing a guy that tried to give them no change to win. I can bet you $100 that Brees will tell everyone to stop it though. I dont have a problem explaining to my kid about Booing a guy that is destroying football, and that most fans agree that he might need to be Booed in every stadium until they get someone competent.
That is not close to Booing your own boys that are trying and failing. Thats just being selfish I think.
You want, you want, you want, but you don't get, so you cry or throw a tantrum, hence Boo.

There is much in your post that i agree with. However, I think the biggest fundamental difference between our views is the severity of it. You seem to take it very seriously and consider it rude. I don't particularly. I'm probably closer to Andy's view that it is probably more immature, a practice used more often by children than adults. Being hurt by a booing crowed is the equivalent of hurt a group of booing children. Its pretty meaningless in my mind.

What I do find odd in your position, however, is that you would make an excuse for behavior you consider rude to anyone including Goodell. I think the reason for that is that in the end you also know that in the grand scheme of things its a pretty harmless action.

100% agree that playing being offended has never even entered into any of my comments. I doubt they are, and if they are, it lasts until the next time the ball is snapped.
The only aspect I find at all offensive is that it represents the fan base as spoiled.

Thanks, You raise a good point and we might be very similar except we express emotion or words differently. One of the pluses of the english language is that it is a emotional and expressive language with millions of words including slang. languages like German are very structured and don't cater to much to the translation of emotions to words.
Others like spanish don't have that many words compared to english. So a man in spain might say hes mad, but hes really frustrated, but there is no word for that, so he can't break it down and express himself properly.
While in english many words can connect to the same emotion or thinking, and all be correct or close to it.
It is immature to Boo, because your only thinking of yourself and not your environment or who your negativity effects. No one Boos to help the team, lol,

"common guys lets help the boys and Boo them"

but its also rude in certain cultures. It being a improper or not normal way to act, and seen as immature because they do not follow the expected adult behavior that is proper.
So your feeling it is immature is pretty close to our seeing it as rude.

My father always said we are limited by our dialect. Meaning we are limited by the words we know to feel, lucky I don't see words only pictures and movies,lol, unfortunately makes me look like a moron sometimes, when I write, so instant humility and empathy is part of the package, lol

Goodell is not our team, and in fact a person trying to hurt our team. Being very family oriented we do not take to kindly to people we consider friends or family being messed with. It is not considered rude to defend your friends or family by any measure.
Booing Goodell would only mean we are defending them and with them. None of the saints messed with Goodell, he messed with them, and decided to pick a fight I think he will lose, on many levels. I mean we cant walk out there and punch him in the face. This is really the only recourse we have to defend them, if it comes to that. Its very proper to blindly defend those you love or care for.

Well, that explains it right there. Buddy, if you started rooting for the Pats in 2002, then boo all you want. At least then, we'll know you who are.

well that's incoherent...

 

[aluminum seats]

I just think it comes down to the fact that there is no where else in society where we boo when we dont like the services being provided except sports.

Yeah, obviously. Just like we don't stand up and cheer at the top of our lungs for a good teacher or a good meal. It's a different dynamic. At games, we yell, we cheer, and sometimes we boo.

Boo or cheer.. Paying customers have the right
