Booing "injured" players and TV
Oct 26, 2014, 11:11 AM
|
|
Sure we get why they are being booed, but when the rest of the country watches it, it really comes off classless. Thankfully the announcer kept telling the audience why the crowd was booing. As a Clemson fan, it even came off to me as unsportsmanlike. I can see booing the obvious, but booing every single player that goes down is embarrassing... especially when TV announces one had to be taken back to the locker room.

I literally watched one guy from the stands go from fine to just casually laying down. Most of the crowd saw it and lost it. It was obvious. And it was always when our o finally started to click.wow what a coincidence.

It's got to the boy who cried wolf now. Most fans don't believe it anymore.

Are you insinuating he has never played a sport before?

Are you saying he isn't athletic enough to have ever played a sport, or are you saying he played sports but stayed well hydrated and never cramped up? More clarity is needed.
And if you are insulting his athletic ability, how is that any better than booing an "injured" player?

Wasn't the player taken to the locker room the OT ?

Don't remember booing when the Offense guys were hurt, just the defensive guys getting the old SEC timeouts. Could be wrong, will check later when I rewatch the game .

We did boo when one of their offensive players got hurt but other than that the rest was defense.

Not trying to be a smart ### but really who cares. I could care less what other fans think of Clemson. We are trying to win football games and be a hostile place for the other teams.

Wrong attitude IMO. For years we have taken pride in being one of the most hostile places to play while still exhibiting class, respect, and hospitality to opposing fans and their players. If we are going to start behaving like Jets or Eagles fans then that would be a shame.

I'm not trying to be one either but we should care what other fans think of us and clemson. It could influence what recruits or parents of recruits think of when they hear clemson..plus what Dabo stands for as a coach and as a person, it just doesn't look good for clemson, the team or its fans with the booing

when you start getting leg cramps on a 60 degree night in the 2nd QUARTER, your team cannot be in very good playing shape.

Don't fake injuries and then they will see a different behavior and we are very classy.
When they fake injuries, we as fans cannot tell anymore of what is real or what is not real watching from a distance. It is hard to make out what is going in unless u r watching tv.
Anyway orange, you are as classy as your coach is. We know his class first hand.

At first I thought it was the flop thing due to their coach but I'm not certain they were faking. I think they kept cramping up. When you get a cramp like that you need help right away and then it just goes away after a minute or so. I did see one questionable guy get up after a play and then drop back down.

These idiots were sitting in our season seats when we arrived and claimed they couldn't find four together so
They took ours and it's ok because they drove so far. This other drunk cuse fan starting beating his wife and had to be removed. Their little punk team tried to run and block the hill and antagonize students....they have 0
Class. To top it off they're too dumb to know situational football and realize their player was walking and fell down to give them an extra timeout

And we're sick of OTHER TEAMS being classless. Stand up, be a man, and play us like men. That's Bush League. I wish our guys would give them a harder time over it.

You are correct. Suppose a player really is hurt. Let the refs determine if a player is faking and give them the benefit of the doubt. It is totally lacking class to boo if you are aren't 100% sure that a player is faking. This should not be at Clemson.

We need to have a moratorium on the "classless " post. If you can't handle what the majority does watch golf ahole

I have to try to explain the non-sense then to my kids. If they are actually flopping, is it going to make some type of difference by booing? I mean seriously give it a rest people.

Until we get a rule change it will continue to happen. Some teams play dirty. Fake injuries and intentional pass interference in the end zone are both excelllent dirty tactics against us. We can fix the offense to make them less effective or pray for rule changes. I vote the former.
