Who's Boo-able and Who Isn't.
All right, you paid for your ticket, you are a loyal fan and you love your team. But as Skip Bayless asks, who has earned the right not to be booed? I say it is really a lifetime achievement award. And I also think you have to have played most of your career for the team you are currently on. That's the one that makes it tough. For example a guy like Tom Glavine earned the right not to be booed in Atlanta (as has John Smoltz), but now that he is a Met he can be booed in NY.
So who can't be booed? In the NHL the only obvious two that I can think of (now that Stevie Y has retired) would be Martin Brodeur in New Jersey and Joe Sakic in Denver. Any fan that boos them should have their tickets revoked. In baseball Yankee fans can't boo either Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera. Braves fans can't boo Chipper Jones and Houston fans can't boo Craig Biggio. Tom Brady is the only guy who gets the honour in the NFL. As for the NBA I say Tim Duncan can't get booed in San Antonio and Kevin Garnett can't get hassled in Minnesota. I think that may be about it though. Any suggestions for anyone in any sport?
