Quote: Downbutnotout "What is a supporter. According to my dictionary it refers to one who supports. Whilst I understand those who choose to boo the team are somewhat disappointed I wonder how they can equate booing with supporting. It seems to me that it is the complete opposite of supporting your team. there are clearly other ways of making your point - one of these is of course this forum or you could contact the powers that be yourself. I just feel that booing the team is self defeating and in the end will only make matters worse - which I'm sure none of us want.'"
Some people use their first post in a way that it makes an impact, and you do not disappoint here whatsoever.
Not in a good way however.
This, to me, is a result of the namby-pamby society we live in these days where kids are being encouraged in schools "not to win" in case the losing side gets upset. It is ridiculous.
I don't think that booing is self-defeating at all. If the product on display is crap, then people have a right to say so. It would be worse if they were clearly not trying yet people still lauded them and praised them for all their "hard" work. I have said it before on many occasions, players of all sports are more than happy to take all the kudos when they are playing well and winning, so therefore they should be able to take the stick when they are playing crap and losing.
You don't win any relevant silverware just for having nice happy supporters do you?
