So if you would boo Sanchez, Rex Ryan, or Bart Scott, why wouldn't you boo Tebow?  He's a filthy, stinkin' Jet just like the rest of them.

This is what I mean when I tell you that you seem to want to argue just for the sake of argument. You're either illiterate or purposefully disputatious. I clearly said, "I will boo just as much when he's on the field against Miami." Where's the disconnect at? I answered the "Will you boo Tebow?" question before you even asked it. If he's not playing, I'm not going to boo him. I'm not booing Rex or Bart or Sanchez right now either because...wait for it...they're not on the field.  Roll Eyes -EK

I would boo Sanchez, Rex Ryan, or Bart Scott at a youth soccer game. In jest of course. I would boo Tebow as well for being as Jet but that doesn't mean I do not like him. I don't get New Yorkers booing him other than they are New Yorkers.

Personally I think his calling in New York is bigger than football. Someone is going to get saved!  Wink Grin

You seem to have misunderstood my original question.  Let's try again:

I actually DO get that, and even though you guys know how much I supported him, I will boo just as much when he's on the field against Miami. But I'm not going to boo him at a baseball game in the offseason, before he has taken a snap, nor would I relish in the fact that others are booing him then. I just don't get it. -EK
To repeat:

Would you boo Mark Sanchez?
How about Rex Ryan or Bart Scott?

Lol, I didn't misunderstand it- you should have been more clear. To the point then, no, I wouldn't waste my time booing another player when he is out at a non-related event. I take no solace in the misery or taunting of others. -EK

I would boo Rex Ryan if he were on the screen at a HEAT game.

I'd boo Rex Ryan if he was curing cancer...

I leave it to the reader to determine how booing Mark Sanchez at a Heat game is "taking solace in misery or taunting", but booing Mark Sanchez at a Dolphins game is apparently nothing of the sort.

Does Mark Sanchez lose the right to Basic Human Dignity (or whatever you think booing does) when he's on the field against your favorite team?

Yeah. I thought that was pretty well an un-written rule. Fans can do almost whatever they want when the athletes are on the field. When they're off the field, you don't really harass them, or you shouldn't.

You're not going to rope me into another one of your semantics arguments. I have no obligation to explain myself to you. Convo over. -EK

Isn't booing Tebow at a Yankees game akin to booing David Garrard at a Heat game?

I think it's acceptable if they're in the public square, especially in a prominent place.   If I saw Rex Ryan at dinner, I wouldn't boo him at his table.  But if I saw him on the jumbo-tron at an event, I certainly would.  I think it's all in fun.

I agree. Something like that I would find acceptable.

I don't get why you would "boo" someone outside of their sports venue at all. Many of you find it to be not very "adult" to wear jerseys, but booing someone like an 8 year old is ok? How's that work? -EK
