| Once again, Boston can't take a joke
Regarding the 14-year old girl who got booed at the RCA Dome for wearing a Patriots jersey on the field, Patriots Blog "Patriots' Pulpit" wrote:
Only utter dolts could be so dumb not to separate a high school freshman from a team they don't like simply because that team is far better than theirs. Grant told reporters that people at the stadium told her, "It's not you. It's your jersey." Wow, that's some justification. They were booing the jersey. It's hard to believe any so-called adult could be that irrational. The display was far worse than Eagles fans booing Santa Claus. Worse than Jets fans cheering the injury of their own quarterback. The act is beyond comprehension, beyond words. It was by far the most classless act by the most classless fans imaginable.

I guarantee you that if my 14-year old female cousin wore a yankees jersey in Fenway or a Jets jersey in Gilette, or a Peyton Manning jersey in Gilette, she would get booed just as much, if not more. A girl I know who now lives in Boston told me she once saw a grown man pour a beer on the head of a 10-year old kid for wearing a Yankees hat at Fenway.
So, please Boston, spare me the fucking lecture on class. |
