Booing
I go to the Texas games and am disgusted when fans start booing, but I'd like to hear other opinions.. especially the "booers"

Re: Booing
I join in booing for:
A football game (baseball, maybe, too), when a call is so blantantly wrong by the officials. Luckily, the instant replay has helped this.
A baseball game when the guy who comes up to bat has recently been in the news for DUI, beating his wife, drugs, steriods, etc.
I try to avoid booing anyone on the team I cheer for, but it happens sometimes...

Yup.
I think this is where it crosses the line.
Why? Crosses what line?
Of fandom. Real fans don't boo their own team / players. I'm not saying that fans will always be 100% happy with how their team is playing, but booing your own team shows a real lack of class. Sorry.
OK. Thanks for telling me I am not a real fan.
We can agree to disagree.
I can't imagine booing my own team.
I have booed the refs though.
Fair enough.
I generally don't boo teams I support, but if they are playing like crap despite having the highest payroll in a given sport, they deserve it. I also booed LaTroy Hawkins for wearing Paul O'Neill's number last year. Childish, maybe. He did, however switch numbers because of the reaction of the fans
Agreed. If I am at a pro game and the place kicker misses a 4th FG attempt, or a receiver drops an 8th pass he should have caught, I'd potentially boo. I also would possibly boo a coach for calling a punt and not going for it on 4th and inches in some instances when at a pro game in person.
College seems different to me, but I don't go to as many college games in person.
This. I think it's very situational. I definitely don't dislike booing..it's just part of sports.
I sarcastically talk about my teams when they make a bad play - I don't ever boo them though. Example: for awhile during Homecoming on Saturday, Oklahoma State couldn't tackle a player to save their life. I said something about that and was super upset - but I NEVER booed them.
Now, I tend to boo the refs a lot because most of the time, they miss at least one or two calls. I want a fair game, and most times, it's not called that way. Grr.
It kinda bothers me when we boo the other team, but as long as no one boos when a player gets hurt, I keep my mouth shut.
I don't mind booing refs, coaches, pro players, anyone who has sports as their paid job.
I'm not so keen on booing college students who are trying their best and make mistakes.
