What's in a Boo?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 30, 2021

After a disappointing season, some Mets fans have started booing their own team. Listeners call in if they've ever booed their favorite team -- and what they're really trying to say.

Let a first-place division lead disintegrate into below .500 baseball in a matter of days. Haven’t won a championship in 35 years. Costs ~$500 to bring a family to a game. The $341 million shortstop is batting .224.

So, yeah, fans gonna boo. https://t.co/B4ugqveLiG

@BrianLehrer I have boo’d my Buffalo Bills when coaches of yesteryear would punt the ball instead of going for it on 4th and short. Happy to finally have a modern coach! #gobills

@BrianLehrer #1. I would never boo my own team. #2. The "booing" at Lindor is because he's making $34 million for what?
