It's more a social comment on society and how the anonymity of internet emboldens people and some people say things that they would not normally say face to face, simply because they are rarely held to account. The booing in the crowd is the same to a certain extent, however I expect that anyone who does that on Friday night will be held to account by those around them and quickly told to STFU. As
@Phil Mann Stand said ^^^, I have never witnessed the boing of a kid from our own club like that. Lower than low.
Someone else touched on it earlier - I believe those booers would happily have booed Jake to his face.
But this word she kept clinging to - gutless...
It's just so naive.
Was it wrong to boo Jake? In my eyes, yes - his dad put him in this position, and Jake has done nothing wrong.
Does it make the booers gutless? No; it makes them uncouth, and uninformed.
The OP should realise that, like it or not, the booers paid money to watch the team play, and witnessed - yet again - a defensive effort beneath even an under-6's side, and they are frustrated.
"It's just a game!"
Sure - but to many people (myself included), it runs deeper; the Eels remind me of my dad, and it is a family passion.
And watching them give up weak efforts every week makes the blood boil.
