I was at 2KW the night of the Port and Cats game. I was chatting to a few Cats supporters (and a Crow dressed as a Cat....leaving that one there) and the question was brought up on whether I was going to boo Danger. I categorically said yes. The Geelong fan got all defensive about it, accusing me of bad sportsmanship. He even went on to say the Cats fans did not even Boo Gazza etc.
I went on to tell him that I have a huge respect for Danger and the commitment he gave you our club....but I am still going to boo. I told him that it is as much about letting go and my personal grievances of one of the greatest players in the game....and I am going to boo. I told him that Danger is the sort of player that will probably ride the attention and get best on ground....but I am still going to boo. It is not a boo of malice or ill will. It is purely about me....and in the unlikely event that I can out him off his game just a tad....well let's face it....I am going to boo.
So am I wrong? Am I a bad sportsman? Am I a nasty person? Or is it just part and parcel of the game?
