As much as I wanted to boo the Raiders this year, I can't... I'm not saying it's right or wrong to boo a professional team, but in regards to the Raiders, I simply can't.

The only player I booed was Kerry Collins.
I couldn't support a guy with no heart....& he heard from me...a lot.

I curse and yell. I don't boo (there is huge difference.)

It's per person. Bears fans have booed for years; so do Giant and Jet fans; but Packer fans rarely boo; it's per the area and person.

It doesnt' make you a bad fan if you boo. In fact I'm sure as bad as the RAiders are, they appreciate someone there to boo.

I boo, hiss, scream, fight, yell, curse, and throw things. I tell my kids don't be like, be better than me. Hey say what you want at least Im honest.

Fucck yeah it's OK! If your team sucks they need to hear it!

By buying tickets, we're the one's writing their paychecks; we expect and deserve results.

No sycophancy here.

Besides, if they were playing like real Raiders, I wouldn't have to boo in the first place!

This is the way I have always felt. I will never boo my own team, no matter how bad they are doing (like last season).

I remember folks booing Moss and Porter this past season, and that's their right to do so, but it's not something I'm personally cool with.

The pro's on the other hand, I think its ok to boo in certain situations. They are pro's, they are paid to produce. They are paid with the money you spend to get to see them. And if they are not giving you what you paid for then you have the right to boo. Say you see a receiver running a half hearted route, ok or not to boo...I say OK. Say a QB throws his 5th Int in a game...OK or not?? I say OK.

How is management going to know that the fans are fed up with a inferior product unless the fans voice their displeasure at the games? I think booing lets the guys upstairs know that they need to fix something and quickly. Now, I don't condone booing for every mistake, but if its an ongoing series of mistakes. Say....a bunch of losing seasons...or a years worth of INT's...then by all means.....

I know, rah rah and all that stuff, but they are getting paid millions, not 5.75 an hour. MILLIONS...let me repeat that MILLIONS... to do a job that most of us would do for free.

So what's your thoughts...Boo or NO Boo....

EXACTALLY .... there ARE situations when BOOing is defenetly called for.
