Whateley getting his panties bunched over the booing.. I'm shocked
Caro on Footy Classified questioning the booing of GAJ and wondering if it was related to his like of Folau's tweet.
IIRC she said "are footy fans really that discerning". She plummeted in my estimation.
You know what Caro any and or many of those fans may well run rings around you. Get off your high horse.

No more booing at the football. It hurts people's feelings, if booing must be done, crowds must all go to the nearest park, under a blanket and boo there......

Seriously do these "experts" forget footy and sport in general is a emotional game for the average supporter. Emotions are always high for the fans in a close game, as poorly umpired as that one was especially. Wonder what the corporate types will come up with to combat booing now.....

Poor Whateley. How dare two walk up hall of famers get booed on marquee days..
The campaigner has lived a very precious mollycoddled life..
The way the industry protects certain individuals i.e. media anointed stars and good blokes of the game over others is beyond a joke. You only need to look at the treatment of Lindsay Thomas last year to see how wide this particular chasm is.

I kinda thought Pendles thanking the crowd was a little bit of a dig. When they're already booing that hard, you've gotta know that's gonna make them go harder.
I was begging for him to thank the umpires. Begging. The crowd response would've been enormous.
