Which brings us to the real question: Should any professional athlete in any sport ever be booed at home? Seriously, under any circumstance, should you boo a player or coach or GM or owner of the team you root for -- even live for?
Sure you should. You pay outrageous ticket prices. You buy the right to literally voice your opinion within earshot of the overpaid underachievers who deny you your bragging rights and disgrace the good name of your city and team.
You know your e-mails and letters to the team won't get read -- not by the people who count. But your boos will be heard.
Still, can booing help your team? And are there certain superstars who have earned the right to never, ever hear a boo from you as long as they play?
Yes and yes.
