Banned For Booing?


Recommended Posts

according to one person interviewed " I pay my money I can say what I want"

What are we some kind of animal? Aren't there characteristics that set us apart from animals? Money doesn't allow you to act like an idiot. If you don't like the call that someone made write a letter  or make a phone call like an INTELLIGENT HUMAN BEING!!!!!!!! Coaches and referees don't get paid enough!!! walk a mile in their shoes.

Most of the time, it is this type of fan-mentality that precipitated the brawl that we saw on the NBA courts a couple of years back.  So many parents attempt to LIVE through their children and they really should stop.  Sure, there are always going to be calls that fans don't agree with, but that's just the way it is.  Trust me, the coaches are usually relaying our sentiments to the referees. ;)

I'll be honest, you guys don't want to sit around me. I don't think there is a place in the world much less a sporting event for racism, profanity, sexual comments, or personal attacks on players, other teams fans or the refs but WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BOOING. Good God, I promise I've been booed before and deserved it. Have all the calls I made is the past been correct, heck no. I have officiated men's softball games in the past and it can get heated.

Personally if it is just booing I don't see the big deal.

Of course this is my own opinion, you guy are very much entitled to yours.

I kinda agree with cardinal fan, as long as its just booing, who cares.  There is not one person on this board that knows anything about the game they're watching who hasn't expressed displeasure with a call made against who they are pulling for.  As long as that expression remains clean and doesn't get vulgar or offensive to kids and other spectators, Refs and Umps should not acknowledge them.

I think personally, booing is just immature and childish, but disagreeing with a ball/strike or a foul in B-ball, etc., and then voicing this to an official - just keep it clean.  And then let it go...

It is a VERY TOUGH job and we couldn't have any of these sports without them.  Thank 'em every chance you get.

So you guys think that there is an entire visitor side that is 'childish and ignorant'?  I dissagree.  I'm a fan.  I'm not going to boo the opposing team, but I will boo a bad call if I see it fit.  I'm not saying that because I paid my money either.  On some of those calls, Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could have seen better than that.  Call it what you want.. ;D ;D ;D

    • The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.
