To Boo Or Not To Boo

There’s nothing that sickens me more than to hear a crowd booing their team at home. I don’t care how bad they are playing, how many points they are down, or how bad the play calling is.

I was at the Texans game this weekend against the Colts and it was amazing to me how fast the fans turn on David Carr. Here’s a guy that has no offensive line to help him out, he’s running for his life, and the crowd is on him like stink on ….well….you know. What made it worse was that the play just prior to everyone booing him, they cheered like crazy for him because he scrambled for a first down, diving his way across the “yellow line” instead of sliding short.

All booing does is drop the confidence in your team. Not just for the current game but for games in the future as well. If people would always show support, it just may work. We all can get frustrated when we watch our favorite team play bad. But if you make them feel worse with a chorus of boos, how is that going to help?
