Classless Act II

[Joemailman]

The people who booed Aaron Rodgers at Family Night were an embarrassment. Bash Favre if you want. Bash Ted Thompson if you want. But what the hell did Rodgers do to deserve being booed? Makes me wonder how bad it will be if M3 tries to start Arod in a home preseason game. Then again, maybe the people who go to the games are more knowledgeable fans than the people who go to Family Night. Time will tell.

[Pacopete4]

I agree.. it was pretty piss poor on the part of the fans that were there that night...


there are many other ways to show youre support for Brett

[red]

agreed

boo TT and m3 all you want if you disagree with the way they've handled the favre mess

but a-rod has been nothing but a class act through this whole thing

i do feel bad for him in this whole mess, he's done nothing wrong. just a bad situation for him

[BF4MVP]

A-Rod didn't deserve to be booed..He's been a class act throughout this whole thing..

Although I am convinced that one of the times the "boo birds" came out, it was the section next to mine booing the t-shirt launcher guy for not launching a t-shirt at them :lol:

[gbgary]

yes...that sucks!!!!!!

[MOBB DEEP]

i was VERY surprised to hear about this. drinkn alcohol brings out the worse....

[BallHawk]

They allow alcohol at Family Night?

I'd think that, if any night, that'd be the night to NOT sell alcohol. I understand that it brings in a lot of dosh, but with all the kids there.....

[Tyrone Bigguns]

The alcohol is the only thing that keeps a meaningless scrimmage interesting. :wink:

hard to feel sorry for him (7 million $ and wont sustain any injuries...)

in pro sports the BEST PLAYERS PLAY!!!

i like him alot but i dont get the "feel sorry" thing

i feel sorry for crack babies

keepn it in perspective

[BallHawk]

If the kid has worked his whole life to get to the NFL, spent countless hours practicing, working, conditioning, etc. and then he gets his first "appearance" as the head QB and he gets booed.....how can you not feel sorry for him?

It will make him stronger in the end.

BTW, I think it's horrible when fans boo

Was the booing that pronounced? I was watching and didn't even notice. Was it when he jogged onto the turf or when the first team offense started the scrimmage?

I definitely noticed when Rodgers was on a long streak of incompletions. Some said there was booing when Rodgers led the team out at the start. Unless they were calling for Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvell Martin.

[Packers4Glory]

what was the quote from Rodgers about what the fans should do? just shut up or something to that effect?

me thinks a booing isn't totally unjustified considering what he had said this offseason.

I booed the hell out of McGuire during the HR chase. Is that bad? Brewer fans were cheering for his AB's. I was appalled.

crack babies don't need your pity


actually ALOT of the clients i provide therapy and meds for have mothers who were using while pregnant my man....

so, OF COURSE a millionaire athlete that has to wait a year or two to start bother's me NONE. he coulda CHOSEN a different position where he could rotate in or contribute in other ways (legacy of many black qb's). whereas these crack babies couldnt CHOSE their parents

They all laugh, but Rodgers got pretty comfortable throwing to Martin the last 3 years. Chemistry could elevate his Ruvell's play.

Disagree with this sentiment. You feel sorry for people within the frame of reference in which they operate.

If someone's rich, but they are going through a bad divorce, we can't feel sorry for them? Sure, kids in Africa have it worse, but based on his/her normal environment, the divorcee is going through some bad times.

If an IT professional gets laid off of his job, we can't feel sorry for him because he has a relatively good life otherwise? That doesn't make sense to me.

That said, talk of the boos seem exaggerated. I did hear a little, but it wasn't that bad, from what I saw (on TV twice).

[cpk1994]

I'd never thought I would see a thread about Ruvell Martin and crack babies. Good laugh to start the morning. :lol:

i could debate that from a spiritual level (HE causes ALL things to work together for our good ROMANS 8:28...) but arent u Hindu??

but back to the context

do u feel arod's really being wrongd and deserves sympathy in HIS situation?

[The Leaper]

I don't feel "sorry" for Rodgers in terms of being booed. He's a big boy. He gets paid a tidy sum of money for what he does...with that comes potential for a lot of criticism and praise. If you can't take a few boos, then you probably shouldn't have chosen NFL QB as your career choice.

I feel more "sorry" for him having to wait so long to get his chance to prove himself. After dropping like a rock in the draft, the kid has probably been busting at the seams to get out there and prove everyone wrong.
