If Sanchez was the lead actor in a Broadway show and he kept tripping over his own feet and flubbing his lines the crowd would eventually start booing him, particularly if they liked to see that show done well and they went to it frequently to see it done well. The answer for the theater manager at that point would be to get Sanchez offstage.
I'm on board about the injury thing. I don't cheer/boo when ANY player gets injured, let alone a Jets player. But in terms of performance on the field - especially lack thereof, over a period of time - I think fans can boo when they want. I don't allow it to bother me.
If I have that much of an effect on some of these players, then either (a) some of them shouldn't be playing here or (b) I should be receiving a paycheck, from the Jets organization, to cheer and only cheer for the players because that'll contribute to them performing better on the field.
I don't allow it to bother me either. Standing up in front of me in the middle of a key play bothers me more than anything else and I fixed that for good. Fought like hell for Row Ones and now all the assholes are behind me. They can do whatever they want now... I just tune it out and enjoy the unobstructed view.
10000% AGREED. everyone has the right to do what they want as far as cheering and booing is concerned. im not bent out of shape about it and no one should be. would i boo him during a practice? hell no bc im not a retard and i save my love and hate for when it matters. camp is a time to make these mistakes and learn from them, so i believe its not necessary. do i think people have the right to, absolutely. they are fed up with the level of QB play nacho has displayed. plain and simple.
They have the right to boo in camp, they shouldn't. That's like you inviting me over for dinner and I come over and criticize your home and the meal you cooked.
Booing at a scrimmage reflects how bad the fanbase is, not how bad Sanchez is. Embarrassing. EDIT: bad might be the wrong word. Maybe uneducated or naïve or lack of football knowledge. Something like that.
While this might be applesranges, it's still kind of relevant to this discussion. Ike Davis is a player in the hot NYC media market. His lack of production has been fairly consistent now, and fans are getting tired of it. The Mets are in a bit of a bind because, despite Ike's slow start last year, he finished the season with 32 HRs and close to 100 RBI; thus, he's shown flashes, but the overall body of work is beginning to look more compelling than those flashes. A couple of weeks ago, Ike (a power hitter) attempted a bunt in a close game against the Braves: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/mets/ike_the_bunt_of_jokes_ECA0zAPRRirqp9vDTLziEP There're two ways I interpret those comments from Ike: 1. At face value -- he doesn't allowing the booing (and he sure as hell has received a lot of booing) to bother him. 2. The booing is in his head, and essentially, he's saying "they're going to boo me no matter what I do that doesn't yield something positive or productive." If the second is true, then he's thinking too much about the fans and booing. And if that's the case, then he probably doesn't belong here. If Sanchez can't handle the booing, then he shouldn't be playing in NY, shouldn't be considered a franchise Qb who's supposed to lead this team to the Sb. If the booing doesn't bother Sanchez, then I guess its's just one less excuse for Sanchez apologists to pull from their collective quiver.
Sanchez should be able to handle the booing, any player should be secure enough in their ability that booing shouldn't affect them but that doesn't mean we should be booing every time something goes wrong.
apples and oranges. football manners and dinner party manners are two entirely different things. although if sanchez's play was a meal, it would be served at applebees and give anyone who ate it a serious case of mud butt.
Where did I ever say you specifically? You are one of those people that the world revolves around you huh? That is why you think its cool to boo people for having a bad day and in sanchez's case 2 years? You think your booing is going to help the Jets or a guy who has given us more to cheer about in 5 years then we had the previous 50? I stand behind my statement that the people who boo have never played in a meaningful athletic event in their lives. I would also like to add that it is the entire fan base not just you. No one cares about you. You are a nobody that buys an over priced ticket to a football game that feels like your booing will have some sort of positive affect on a team that gets paid with the money you pay to boo them. Odd I know. To be fair I can understand with booing people or teams but the way this fan base goes about it is just gross. The reasons for it is gross. It in the end makes it meaningless because it has become what is expected.
They certainly do. Everyone has the right to say whatever they want in this country. No one should ever be denied the opportunity to make complete assholes of themselves! No one!
Training camp is free. Nitwits shouldn't be booing in TC. :rofl2: at a game I agree, if a person wants to boo go ahead but at practice? [YOUTUBE]eGDBR2L5kzI[/YOUTUBE]
This is hilarious. Let me know when the Jets wine and dine me.. Is it polite to boo Sanchez in the regular season too? or is that like when he goes in for the first kiss?
They are invited for FREE. We are all invited for FREE If you want to look like a nitwit and boo at a game week 1 that is on you.
Agreed. However, I doubt that people were booing Sanchez at camp because of that ONE interception, even though that's what sparked the boos. For starters, you probably couldn't be further off-base about me. Not sure why some people here try to decipher posters' comments in a way that allows them to think they know the poster's personality beyond this board. It's not just you doing it, either; but if you think you know my personality type based on some posts I make about booing, then I must admit, that's fucking impressive. To me, booing is a linguistic symbol -- it's a sound we make to voice our frustration when something isn't right at the moment and/or hasn't been right for the past year-and-a-half. Like I said, anyone who has an issue with it just has to suck it up, put in some ear-plugs, or even meditate. Because booing isn't ever going away.
obviously it is not b/c of that one INT but the scrimmage is practice, the team is working on things. There will be bad plays and good plays, we hope they keep most of the bad in practice and not in games but for a team trying to mentally get over a disastrous 2012 season hearing the boos in practice cannot help.
