Is it wrong to boo your home team?

I am a die hard Jazz fan. I love them. Always have. I love them so much that I can't enjoy Jazz games because to me its not a game. I can't enjoy the game until its over and we have the win. So far this season I have seen 3 losses. Every one of them we gave up in the 4th quarter. Against the Rockets the other day the ESA boo'ed our home team. My opinion is it is ok to boo them. If they lost thats one thing. But it honestly appears to me that I care more about winning than they do. I see players not willing to work on defense, I see players playing one on one offense, I see players complaining to the refs and making excuses. If I'm paying to see my beloved Jazz and they give up on me. I'll let them know how I feel about it.

I guess everyone has to do what they think is right. You do pay a lot of money for the tickets to the game and as fans we do have the right to expect more than we have had been given this year. But you know what, I tried to boo the Jazz to let them know I was unhappy and I just couldn't do it. I can boo if there is a really terrible call but I just couldn't boo my Jazz. I too think there is some underlying unhappiness within the ranks and I don't have a clue what it is, but the Jazz are just not the Jazz. They are not like the Jazz of other years when they lost a game. There is something knawing at all of them (you can see it in DWill) and I am pretty unhappy with them but I just can't boo them. During the season they take up a major part of my life, a lot like my family, and I wouldn't boo my family if they were bad. To each his own but I will save my booing energy for the refs and the Lakers.

I don't boo the Jazz. I will grunt and groan when we go on a 0-10 shooting streak, lose a 15 point lead, and the game... but I will not boo the team I've loved since I was a little dude. I don't really care if other people do it, ya'll can do you, but I'm gonna do me. I am a season ticket holder, so I invest a lot of my money and time into this team. I don't like it when Jazz fans are booing our team, and I don't think it motivates the team at all. To the previous poster's comment about the family. Dead on.

When justified, I don't see anything wrong with booing the team. Typically Okur and Boozer are the only ones who play poorly enough to deserve it, though.
