Booing in general is pretty much accepted and expected. For instance, is it all right to boo Donavan McNabb if he's driving down the field on us giving his team a chance to win? Is it right to boo the visiting team as they come out of the tunnel to take the field? Well, then where do we draw the line on who get's booed? If it's wrong to boo Mark Brunell, then it's certainly wrong to boo McNabb because we know his family is in the stands too, right? If it's generally excepted in public sports arenas, and it is, then everyone and anyone is fair game. I think it just hits close to home when we turn on one of our own. |

I, for one would agree with you 12thMan that "booing" is generall accepted, as well as expected in most arena's where teams, or players from the oposiotion are performing because we view that as "booing" within the spirit of competition. However, in our discussion last night, we were viewing the "booing" of Brunell as more of a personal attack, and a vendeta geared towards his past performances as a Redskin. There is a subtle difference there.

I agree with you there. And I think that's generally where the line get's blurred. We feel a sense of entitlement for whatever reason. I think because there aren't any hard and fast rules about booing, your moral judgement has to kick in at some point. Anyway, I can't believe I mis-spelled 'accepted'...how funny. I need to lay the pipe down! |

Sometimes I do not do a very good job of proof reading.

Re: Mark Brunell booed
But I maintain, while the person Mark Brunell got booed last night, I think in some folks mind, it was their only chance to let the organization as a whole know how they feel about things in general. Apart from what he's done on the field as player, I think it's possible that Brunell represents all that's gone wrong for the Redskins in the last few years. Not that he's solely responsible, because he isn't, I think he's symbolic of a lot things to people.

Re: Mark Brunell booed
For what he's getting paid, he deserves it.
However, I do agree with the post that the entire defense deserved to be booed as well...what a horrible season for the D.

Re: Mark Brunell booed
I dont, and most of the people I know dont do things they normally dont do :confused:. Anyway it was classless and embarassing as a fan to be associated with those who booed.

Re: Mark Brunell booed
I think you guys are overreacting...it's not like they threw stuff at him.

Re: Mark Brunell booed

Look, I absolutely HATE the Denver Broncos. I was the happiest non-Chiefs fan in America when they got knocked from the playoff picture. But when Jay Cutler got knocked from the game, the Denver faithful gave Jake Plummer thunderous applause. Mark Brunell 2006 (9 games): 162/260 (62.3%), 1789 yards (6.88 yards/attempt), 8 TDs, 4 INTs, 86.5 QB Rating (#11 in league) Jake Plummer 2006 (12 games): 175/315 (55.6%), 1994 yards (6.33 yards/attempt), 11 TDs, 12 INTs, 70.5 QB Rating (#28 in league) It's pretty damn near fact that Mark Brunell was playing better football at the time of his benching than Jake Plummer was. So for Plummer to recieve applause while Brunell gets booed just tells me (unfortuantely) that the Broncos fans understand the value of veteran leadership, and that Redskins fans simply do not. I'm going to stop short of admitting that they are smarter than us... Luckily I can come to the Warpath, to a community of fans who, on the whole, are rational and intelligent, and understand just how classless that display was. Happy New Year! (A lasting reminder that 2006 is finally over)

#2, It's amazing how fast we forget just how bad Brunell played. If I had to take a guess, I'd guess that out of his 260 attempts, 240 of them (maybe more) were attempts of 10 yards or less. Honestly, he should have had over 70% completion when he was too much of a pussy to throw it downfield. We all remember the 22 straight completions, and 20 of them were 10 yards or less...well laaa-dee-daa. He got booed for his blatent disregard for the offensive system. He flat out refused to leave his confort zone, and utilyze his weapons. I wouldn't have booed him, but I don't blame a single soul for the dismal play of Brunell. I am Mr. Stathead and use stats to prove points constantly, but you can't prove a thing with Brunell stats. You had to watch, and I didn't miss a single play.

Re: Mark Brunell booed
Boo the coaches, not Brunell. He sucked, but, really, he should not have been starting this year in the first place.
