I guess some people are going to put their hatred of Brunell or Gibbs over their love of the team, and that's fine for them--I only wish they would give or sell their tickets to Skins fans who are going to support their team. :twocents:
The fans have every right to boo. We spend a lot of money, time, and effort to go out to FedEx and this is the type of effort that we get from the team?? We get ripped off by Snyder all over the place and we should cheer the team when they stink up the place and can't even beat an 0-5 team with a rookie qb? Give me a break. They deserved to get booed.
Dude, if you spend all that money and secure a place at FedEx field, then sure. . .you have a right to boo.
Or read a newspaper during the game. Or never be at your seats (and help create a yellow band of shame). Or be silent when it's third and 2 for the opposing team. Or not wear Skins colors to the game. Or show up pretty late to the game. Or leave early, as soon as you think the Skins are probably out of it. Or sell your tickets to an opposing teams fan.
Sure. . .you have a right to do any of those things, as a fan. However, it doesn't make it right. . .and it doesn't give you a free pass to be a poor fan.
And, it
certainly isn't protection from having an absurdity--such as fans boo-ing their own team when they are only down by a single score and there's an entire qurater to play--be pointed out.
There's a difference between being called out and being censored. I wouldn't ever say that fans have no
right to do what they want during the game. . .but I have to speak out when I see such a shameful showing at FedEx field by the fans as we did today. Do you think ridiculous actions like that should go unnoted, as if the fans deserve lollipops and sunshine, and are free to throw a tantrum every time the team doesn't deliver?
For fans, it shouldn't matter how frustrating the game / score / season is. After a game like today, I can see why it is that other teams' fans might make a case that they are more passionate than Skins fans. What credit is it to Washington if their fans only cheer when they play well? You can find that kind of "support" on any bandwagon in the nation. . .
