Hey! Let's Be Cool and Boo the Ref

Let me get one thing straight. Being from Philadelphia, I was born with vocal chords primed for booing. Some people can sing, others have a great radio voice. Me? I can boo with the best of them. I am not one to discourage my talent either. Starting at a young age I distinctly remember booing along in my car as they took Michael Irvin off the field (classless maybe, but my parents didn't stop me) and I booed at the last Phillies game I went to. It's a part of me

I've got a problem with some people booing, though. If you're at a basketball game and the call doesn't go your way, that is not an excuse to boo. Open up your eyes for a second and watch the play. If it's a cheap call, by all means let loose. The ref deserves it then. If the call is legit, though, let it slide. You only make the fans look bad by booing a good call. Even a bad ref will get a call once in a while

A lot of power can be found in booing. It can be a great way of joining in with the game. Just remember to take the time and watch the game before running your mouth. Everyone will look a lot better that way
