100% agree about not booing at practice.
But I think the players, coaches, and front office people are paid handsomely by us fans. Cheer them on and give encouragement. Be the 12th man - all that.
But if the product you are paying top dollar for is not acceptable to you, how should you communicate your displeasure? Should you robotically cheer and keep spending your hard-earned money? When teams quit, they should be booed.
When players make mistakes and don't perform, do the coaches get in their face and yell negative things at them at the top of their lungs? Is this a bad thing or a good thing?
Feeling pressure to perform is not a bad thing. Fear of failure drives success. The winners step up, and the losers fall down... That's the way competition works.
A couple relevant quotes from the immortal one...
That said, I'm not a big booer at the games either...

If winning isn't everything, why do they keep score?
Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.
