Ok, so I have to get something off my chest. When I went to the Raiders game last year, and we dominated, I went up behind the bench to congratulate the players. When I went up there, there was this idiot yelling at Chris "about time you actually did something Chris." He was wearing a Dolphins jersey, and I was like hey man they won today stop talkin S---. He thought he was entitled to give garbage to our players just because "oh I'm a fan I pay their salaries." That's a bunch of BS. If you really care about our team, you would understand that the team can't win every game, a player can't be the man 100% of the time and to boo them and give them crap still even after all you know how great this team can be and how much potential it has is counterproductive and disgusting. It really upsets me when peoploe think they are entitled to be a jackass just because they pay to go to a game. Who are we? We are fans of a freaking football team, we want so badly for them to win, but when they don't we harass the players. Do you know how much crap the NFL players must take? Don't tell me it's ok because they make alot of money that is BS. Just because you have money doesn't mean you should be harassed no matter what you do. If you want our team to win, just cheer for them, make them feel like they can do anything. Confidence breeds success but how are they supposed to be confident when they have people like you yelling at them? I'm calling all you out, those who boo DURING A PRESEASON GAME! What is that? It's a preseason game, and our 2nd and third string players got burned. Well, what does that mean? It means our first stringers were dominant and those are the ones who actually play in the game. Our first string defense dominated the Jags, they didn't get a first down, and we got a pick setting up a joey TD pass. And now you wanna boo the third string denfense playing against a QB who went 5-1 last year in David Garrard? What did you expect our third stringers to play like pro bowlers? Come on this is BS. If you wanna boo the team that's fine go ahead, but you ain't a fan, you're a little coward. Cowards like you should go be a fan of the cardinals or the lions. You wonder why Nick is telling you guys to be positive? If being good fans wasn't necessary Nick wouldn't have an article about it. All you booing negative fans don't go to the games, you don't deserve it.
 
I agree to a degree. I think that in the preseason game, most of the booing was directed at the other team's success and not so much at our team's mistakes. I mean, when the other team scores, you're not happy, right?
 
Nick needs to focus on getting his players not to quit which seems to be a trend the last couple of seasons before he demands respect from the fans. Now Wayne has done everything a owner can and his demands hold more water.

Then Why did nick write that article?

He wrote a similar article last season. It was not written in response to the fan's actions in the Jaguars game.

But like I said, I really believe that the fans boo the other team's success.

He has done a very good job of that. Just compare the first half of last season to the second half.
 
nick has been the coach for one year and he took us from 4-12 to 9-7 with gus frerotte, now we have culpepper who is a top 5 qb in the league, probably top 3 without the injury, and you still aren't satisfied.

Not really. KC and Holliday I give more credit for calling out the quitters. If someone would have done it sooner maybe we would have been in the playoffs.
 
we aint paying there salaries or else id be broke oh wait I am:lol:

Nick wrote the article to create an atmosphere in the stadium thats imposing to other teams. No where did Nick say dont boo because fans are unhappy. he just said be supportive.

Its so black and white Im surprised people are debating it.

Nonsense on this post. The fan screaming at Chris is entitled to scream for the exact reasons you claim he isn't. If a professional player needs fans encouragement to be successful, then I doubt he is that good anyway.

I wasn't at the game on Saturday nite but I am not bothered in the least by fans booing. If the coaches and players want fans to stop booing, then they should perform at a higher level so there is nothing worth booing.

The final three years of Shula's tenure, the entirity of JJ and Wannstedt's tenures', the Fins have given many fans much to boo. More power to those who wish to express themselves this way.

Well said.
 
The example you cited is simply that of a rude, classless person. In this Country people have a right to be classless. In general our culture tends to be rude. When it comes to fanaticism they try to characterize it as passion which it may be, but it's still rude and it's still classless.
