The Pre-participation trophy era

I like the pre-this-thread era where I could read 30 threads about this instead of 31.

Looks like we have another I Al Bundy

I'm sure it doesn't affect a player's mental or emotional state to hear his home crowd booing when he's out there having the worst game of his life in front of 100,000 people and on TV.

If you support booing the young men you're pulling for, then you're absolute trash. LSU would be better off without you as a fan.

So because you boo because you sucked as a kid?

Those who do not understand booing may have grown up in soft environments.

You mean like the era Theodore Roosevelt grew up in?

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." -TR
