Mets President statement condemning players actions

This isn't going over too well. Is Javier Baez a cancer? 7-19 in Aug and this is the response?
quote:

Javier Báez said the "thumbs down" sign Mets players have made on the field is a response to fans that have booed him and others. Báez said the players disapprove of how often they've been booed. "I love the fans, but ... we can't have our fans against us," Báez said.

quote:

“In my case, they [the fans] gotta be better. I play for the fans and I love the fans. But if they’re going to do that, they’re just putting more pressure on the team. That’s not what we want.”

I saw this on twitter. Fans are going to be fans and once you start going after them, they are only going to start doing whatever it is they are doing, even more.

Fans pay the bills.

In a post-game press conference today, Javy Baez stated that his “thumbs down” gesture during the game was a message to fans who recently have booed him and other players for poor performance. These comments, and any gestures by him or other players with a similar intent, are totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Mets fans are understandably frustrated over the team’s recent performance. The players and the organization are equally frustrated, but fans at Citi Field have every right to express their own disappointment. Booing is every fan’s right.
The Mets will not tolerate any player gesture that is unprofessional in its meaning or is directed in a negative way toward our fans. I will be meeting with our players and staff to convey this message directly.

Mets fans are loyal, passionate, knowledgeable and more than willing to express themselves. We love them for every one of these qualities.

Dude needs to sign somewhere where the fans don't really care about losing, like the Cubs.

Especially in NY.
They’d boo their grandmother. Even though she’s dead because Cuomo killed her

Baez was a Cub, so of course he’s soft.

Pretty sure you telling the fans you think they suck isn’t going to make them stop booing the shite out of you.
