enough already....

Alright, so I never had any intention of this blog being about sports...but I've really just had enough of people and their crap, so here goes. I come home from work and turn on the Bruins game (which is on my DVR, I'm on the west coast) I already know the score and saw the tweets about Wideman getting booed. Let me start by saying that I'm not a Wideman fan, but...I'm not on the Ryder or Wheeler (sorry, chica) bandwagon either. But, you're probably not going to like everybody on your said team, and that's ok. So while I sit here and drink my beer I mute my television when Wideman gets the puck because I'm sick and tired of listening to the low class Bruins fans on my TV.
Let me ask you a question, did you boo when Manny Ramirez took a phone call in the scoreboard during the middle of a game? Or how about every time he had error? Oh, I'm sorry, is that part of "Manny being Manny"? Did you boo Jason Varitek last year which was arguably his worst season with the Red Sox? Now let's get closer to home. Do you boo Zee? He's not performing like he did last year. How about Krejci? It took half the season to see him back to his old ways. So why Wideman? If he an easy target? As I said, I'm not a fan and I see why people are upset with his performance, hell, I am too. But booing, really? I'd say that's almost as bad as Canadiens fans booing during our National Anthem. It's just plain disrespectful. How can you expect the guy to better his game when you greet him with disgust? Do you think that's inspiring? Sure as hell shut you up when he scored that goal though, didn't he. You do realize that he won the game for us, right?
I'm not saying that the Buffalo game is something for the history books but don't boo them. They're your team. You claim you bleed black and gold well fucking show it. A real Bruins fan wouldn't boo any member of their team. You can call it whatever you want, blind faith, for the love of the game, undying love...I call it being Bruins fan. It's a bit like marriage, through richer, poorer, sickness, health...you don't give up on them. At least, that's what I was always taught. So please, if you're going to boo them kindly take your ass to Yawkey Way you can stop slumming it with us on Causeway, you were just waiting for baseball season to start anyway.
