"He's going back behind him now which is less not good than him" "Do you think this aggression will pay off?" "I'm not sure" "he hit the wall" "...is it an instant death if you crash?" "...no" Oh god how can a game about dog fighting space ships be so boring? | ||

Its a shame that the community is so sensitive and fickle, the idea of enjoying a event and supporting a player is more difficult than ever, if there isent bitching about casters, crew, camera, sound, stream, players, language, team, prize pool, commercials but now also the crowd. In 6 months people will be complaining that the crowd arent wearing nice Armani suits, afterall wearing those plain white and black t shirts is "killing esports" as we know it. How odd that a community full of vulgar language, homophobic and racist comments is yet so sensitive when they watch a stream, the same people who find distasteful memes and jokes from 4chan funny, still has the cahoonas to take the moral high ground on something so basic and silly like a commentator cheering for Player A, and the crowd booing Player B. Something that has happened in every sporting event ever held in the history of mankind | ||

Team sports, such as soccer, basketball, football, booing is expected for guest team. But for individual sports, usually there is not much booing at all, it will just get too personal. And also, these kids are only 20 years old, and they are not making millions like Kobe. I don't buy that reasoning. If you want to be center stage, you take the jeers with the cheers. Just as long as they don't cross the line. elaborate on why you don't buy that reasoning? Booing in individual sports is rare. Booing a golfer is generally unheard of unless he is getting media coverage for bad behavior Picking and choosing examples. So Duke fans ;chanting overrated while Harrison Barnes shoots free throws isn't personal because he is on a team? Or there is reasoning behind it? Because a kid "not making millions" who is "twenty something" played for a rival school? There is nothing wrong with it. It's normal. you are still obviously missing the point No... I got your point. But, it's not correct. There is booing in every single college sport in America whether individual or not individual sports. These are all young adults who do not make money. Your point just is not correct. There is nothing wrong with booing. In fact, why don't you read articles about players saying they love being booed because then they know they are getting to the other team's fans or such. Booing isn't bad. It's taking it beyond booing, threats and acts of foul play. Professional athletes have a city where they are liked and everywhere else they are hated. They go into different cities expecting to be hated by the fans. They enjoy making their haters unhappy. I doubt a professional gamer flies into IEM cologne expecting to be hated and booed and I doubt he was thinking "I'm gonna make those haters hate me even more LOL" while still having an entire established fan base elsewhere to fall back on. Also, You continue to give examples of team sports when refuting a point about individual sports. Please, give me an individual sport where its acceptable to boo players solely because of their nationality? To further the ridiculousness of your argument, the fans at IEM weren't booing Puma for being Korean. They were booing him for being the favored opponent against their national German favorite. His nationality made no difference... he just wasn't Socke. End of story. finally someone who understands it Its still a bad thing. I highly doubt that it impaired Pumas gameplay at all. So really this is so blown out of proportion here. I am not talking about the laser pointer because that is just plain wrong behavior and should be punished. But really some people here sound like they think Puma is some 12 year old kid who doesnt have any confidence. That guy is a grown up man Doesn't matter, booing is deuche bag thing to do and if you find it fun to boo people you are an asshole that's just the plain truth. naaah when you are bias you want to help your favorite team/player and booing the opponent=discourage him,give him a bad mindset etc. the argument that booing in a teamsport its something else its not true. i dont know if you guys are familiar with soccer but when a player does something like a dive or a foul or maybe just a goal, he gets often booed and you can clearly see thats something like that affects a player. and lets not talk about boxing where the crowd is always bias^^ i dont find it right but i also dont find it wrong or bm. this are just fans and fans are bias | ||
