Stuart Scott doesn't boo

[onlydarksets]

Did anyone see this in ESPN magazine?

Stuart, you recently said on Sportscenter that Fans shouldn't boo. If I have a bad day at work, my boss let's me know about it. If I pay to see a game and the players don't perform, why souldn't I let them know about it?

Yes, you have a bad day, your boss tells you - just like Larry Brown lets Stephon Marbury know when he's playing poorly. But what if your company's customers screamed obscenities at you too? Booing is classless. Not a single athlete out there isn't trying. A ticket gives you the right to be there, not to yell ugly things at people. That's my view.

Ok, first, he's is right that fans are customers, not bosses. However, I seriously doubt Stu has never complained when Biff forgets to put the second coat of wax on his Porsche.

Second, he's right that yelling truly ugly things at players is uncalled for. But seriously - booing? He's completely lost touch with reality if he thinks booing is classless. Fans are customers and they pay to see players perform. If a player can't do that, then the fans should let him know.

Third, there are LOTS (but by no means a majority) of atheletes who don't give it their all. For the kind of money they are making, they should be going full speed on every play. How many times do you see pro baseball players stop running halfway to first when they see the throw coming (or not run at all)?

Anyway, I didn't see his original statement on Sportscenter, so all I have to go on is the article.

EDIT: Shoot - this is probably in the wrong forum. Can somebody fix that?
