For all the haters and boo birds...

What self righteous nonsense. We boo opposing teams' players until our throats bleed. But when it's our team, it's just so dehumanizing.

Don't play like *** and go down 21 in the first quarter, at home, against a terrible team, and you won't get boo'd.

It wasn't so much being down 21 in the 1st that bothered me, it was how they got there. For a team whose goal is to take 30 3-point shots a game, they hadn't even tried a 3 in the first 7 minutes of the game. Instead they passed up 3s to drive into the paint where they either missed a layup or committed a TO. Had I been at the game, I wouldn't have booed, but I would not have chastised anyone that did. The team was playing like a bunch of chickenshits and some of the fans let them know it.

I don't get to watch the games in the arena but I'm sure if the team was sitting in my living room they wouldn't have liked my commentary .

This.

Utah fans look like complete whiny babies when they go out of their way to boo players years after the fact. I don't care for Enes at all but booing the way we did the entire game is childish. If you have to do it feel good the first game back - ie Hayward - and if it makes you feel better than OK. But get over it and move on. Really bush league.

I defended Kanter on this board right up to the day when he was traded. However, when he gave all Jazz fans the middle finger (figuratively) as he was packing his bags, I gave him a big FY in return. That ungrateful *** has earned every boo he gets from Utah fans.

Title of this thread should've been "millionaire celebrity Joe Ingles doesn't care about your peasant life".

Not whatever pathetic bs we ended up with.

I guarantee half of you didn't even listen to the podcast and are just in here spewing your filth. How about actually listen to it THEN comment??

Firegirl, I love your posts and (sometimes) blunt perspective, but I've seen enough life to understand the pros and cons of this topic without feeling the need to subject myself to the "wisdom" of David Locke.

I would assume the concept of ‘dehumanization’ arises when one views this through the lens of owners being slave masters and the players being plantation workers. Thus, Joe Ingles represents the plight of a struggling minority, while the guy taking his daughter to a game represents a pillaging tyrant who leaves destruction in his wake, and views players as beasts of entertainment, free to be expended at his leisure. While the people living paycheck to paycheck are surrogates for the oppressive ruling class, the millionaire players become a symbol of systemic oppression, and the fans carry out their lust for desiring to subjugate individuals through sublimation in ways that are cloaked in social acceptability.

LOL Good to see you still have it. You should be writing textbooks for our high schools (or do you?).

If you're not supposed to boo, how in the world do you express your displeasure when you're at the game? Can I walk out and throw my ticket onto the court? When I'm home, I turn the game off. What are you supposed to do at the game?

And I don't know about the rest of you, but I have a simple benchmark for booing/walking out/turning the game off. When I feel that as a fan, I care more about the outcome of the game than the players do. I don't think that's unreasonable. I shouldn't be more embarrassed about losing by 50 to the Mavs than the players are. Or being down 21 in the first, at home, to the G-League-level Orlando Magic.

You'd have to pay me to listen to Locke, lol.

There was a very very small minority of fans booing last night. Lets not exaggerate and get off our high horse shall we.

It's the same as the vocal minority that go on twitter and tell guys they suck... just ignore them... they dumb!

I promise you the guys that were booing were getting side eye from the fans around them.

Locke is a douche much of the time. That being said I enjoy the podcast and his in-depth coverage of the jazz. He really needs to quit with the excuses for this team though.

Did anyone catch him proudly ranting about being a communist the other day? I thought that was weird as hell. Most of the time he will ramble about **** know one cares about, but that was weird even for him.

He's a strange dude... I appreciate his work, but he's goofy sometimes 95% of fans love and support the Jazz a few morons boo'd... they suck, but let's try not to lump all the fans together cuz some of us live and die with our guys and support them thick and thin.

I love Joe and dude is a straight warrior... he's giving everything he has... I understand why he's upset... also think the reporter exaggerated it... how much booing was there? No more than the cheers you hear for popular opposing teams like the Lakers or Celtics.

100%.... he's also a wrestling fan so I think he gets off on being a heel sometimes.

I do feel bad for him with all his personal life stuff he has going on... I'm curious how his story ends, but I do wish the best for him now. He was young and stupid.
