Fans have a duty to support their team by making noise when the opponent's offense is on the field and staying quiet (i.e. not booing) when our offense is on the field. Fans DO affect the game and if they do not do their part to create a home-field advantage, they shouldn't complain about players not doing their part.

I've never understood the point of booing your team. What does it accomplish? If your team sucks, do you think the players need the fans to inform them of such? When a team is playing poorly they know it and don't need fans to pile on and hit them when they are down.

In anticipation of how people might respond to this post: (1) football is not politics, so please do not cite your 1st Amendment rights to boo; and (2) just because you paid for a ticket and have the right to boo doesn't mean that you should boo.
