Re: The Booing of Arod
The fans have a right to boo, that is without doubt. But if they truly cared about their team, wouldn't they back off? I mean the treatment of ARod is in part exacerbating his struggles, no?
ARod has to learn to just play ball and forget all of the PC shit and concerns over his image and also learn to ignore the fans boos...but I think that's going to be very hard for him to do.
As a Sox fan I say boo his ass off, Yankee fans, because I really think that you bear some of the responsibility for him not living up to his contract. Let's face it...he doesn't suck...he's just underperforming in relation to expectations.
If the day comes that Jeter or any other key Yankee player publicly steps up and supports ARod I'll be a little concerned, as a non-Yankee fan.
If the day comes where the fans back off and try and urge ARod on through acceptance (yeah, right!), I'll wonder if he's gonna turn it on big-time.
Until then I think ARod should say fck the fans, fck George, fck his image, and just play ball. Problem is, I don't think he knows how to do that.
