Fans should be encouraged to boo (responsibly). Nowadays, it’s the best form of expression

New York Times  

The New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills have played some exciting, compelling games over the years, going all the way back to their days as charter members of the old American Football League. But they did send a message to Patriots owner Robert Kraft and first-year coach Jerod Mayo with their “Fire Mayo!” chant, which didn’t go over well with veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. “It is embarrassing, I get it, but you’re playing for pride at the end of the day.” He called the “Fire Mayo” chants “just ridiculous.” Davon Godchaux backs his head coach. But, yes, absolutely, the three Hall of Fame left fielders received what we can call “lovers spats” booing from fans who appreciated the player but didn’t much like the way things were going at the moment. “Don’t worry, I won’t take up much of your time.” Scoop City Newsletter Free, daily NFL updates direct to your inbox.

Opinion: The booer sees sport as only win and lose

Live Mint  

If you really feel the urge to boo, then go do it to an athlete’s face. We don’t want you here.” That was the 1940s but the booer is still here, still crude, still a coward who rarely works alone, more a long-distance lout, a misogynistic man-child of the mob.
