[QUOTE="Halloweenie, post: 1409136, member: 646807"] Do you really think the players are emotionally scarred by booing? I bet the coaches are tougher on them than the fans. I expect the parents of the players are more emotionally impacted. If you want the fans to be indifferent to the poor play, even fewer will come. Today's fans are front runners. Most are not rooting for a team because of their deep love for a university. They want wins to have bragging rights vs. their friends. If you want to be cheered, you should understand there is a risk of being booed. That is just the way it is in 2018. This is not jfl or high school where it is obviously inappropriate. [/QUOTE]
