Screw this loser.

Seriously, you're a freakin pro. Who cares about booing? And feel free to make a play more than once every five years Channing.

His best play is riding the bike on the sideline.

A whole team of loser, whiny bum babies.

 

booing i have no issue with. chanting "you suck" before you come on the field to try to win a football game....is less than fairweather, its pathetic.

 

Everyone certainly has the right to boo when they see fit.

But at the same time, you can't be upset that those who do boo are labeled as 'fair weather'.

 

When it come to the Dolphins. I haven't seen any fair weather from this team. Except for one time in the last 10 plus years. That one fair weather year was 2008 when the the Dolphins actually made the playoffs. Other than that year. The Dolphins have played as if the weather is always stormy for most of the last decade. Of course Crowher is known more for his yapping on the field than his actual play. So him making a statement like this is like the pot calling the kettle black.

 

I agree.

 

Pathetic? Nah. Henne sucks so I agreed with those chants. Maybe those people screaming Henne sucks will wake Ross up so he handles business and cleans house. Starting with Henne and that senile fool Henning.

 

Its neither fairweather or pathetic. Its true.

 

Any fan that pays his hard cash for a ticket or spends his free time on a message board isn't "fair weather" to me. Time = Money and either way we as fans are putting something into this. :up:

He needs to remember if you are an entertainer, you will be either cheered or booed for your performance. If they want us to stop booing, they can start winning. The best way to get a reaction you want is to give the fans a performance they want.

 

The only true thing in this thread is that Crowder talks way to much and plays way to little.

I have no problems with the boos, the other chants sound like things the Jet fans do all the time, yeah you know the team and fans we always bash for doing the same stuff.

 

If Channing thinks the fans here are too "fair weather" for booing I hope he never has the misfortune of playing for the Eagles.

He'd be taking snowballs to the back while riding the exercise bike on the sideline.

 

No it is crazy.

 

Did Crowder Even Play Against The Lions?? I Dont Even Notice Him On The Field Sometimes

 

if we are fair weather fans is Crowder less than a fair weather player?

“If you cheer when times are going good and boo when times are going bad we don’t really need you as fans any way,” Crowder said,

MEMO TO CROWDER: You do because we are the ones that spend our money so that YOU can make millions playing a sport. Your team played like crap, you got boo'd get over it.

 

I wonder how many people here who diss on Crowder would defend Ricky who has said pretty much the same thing.

 

You know it is funny that when the the Dolphins send me the renewal notice for my season tickets each year. Not once have they ever stated that they did not want me to purchase tickets if I had booed the team the previous year. All they are concerned with is that I get my payment in on time. Perhaps Ross and the the marketing staff need to have a talk with Crowder about his views on the fans who pay his salary. Also, if he has checked the stands during the last three home games. He will soon realize that thousands of fans have already taken his advice and they quit attending the games.
If he isn't sure what I am talking about. He should just look at the replay of the yesterday's game and take a look at the stands where thousands of fans were disguised as empty seats. If he thought the booing was bad yesterday. Imagine what the booing would have sounded like if all those fans actually showed up at the game.

 

Thats just it. Sure its ok to boo in disapproval, but when you start chants calling people out personally, its pathetic. If that's what Crowder is talking about, I support him 110%. I dont give a damn how hard those losers in the stands had to work to pay for their damn ticket, its a disgrace. Its not like these guys on this team are going out there and getting their asses handed to them on purpose.

 

Henne sucks chants are over the top. It's something you would expect in Philly or NY.

 

And I don't give a damn if some mediocre player cries because I booed his crappy performance.

 

You have a right to boo the team as a whole. But the targeting of specific players with chants, etc. by the home crowd just makes me lose faith in society.

The fact that it happened, when it happened, so synchronously at our stadium yesterday makes me truly give up on our fanbase as a whole.

I know we have a lot of great fans around the world. Many of which frequent this here site. But yesterday was landmark for me personally. Yesterday was the first time I felt like the a large percentage of fans who attend games at our stadium don't deserve to root for a winner.

Those who participated in this, they are the DEFINITION of fair-weather fans, with the added element of classlessness and sheer stupidity.

Opinions naturally differ on many things. But for the life of me I cannot comprehend how people don't 'get' this.

 

Most of us love the Dolphins just fine. We LOVE the franchise. We just HATE what these players are DOING to our beloved team.


I'll be a Dolphins fan either cheering or groaning, or unable to bear the pain anymore, log after the next set of draft picks come and go.

I cheer for the uniform, and these players and coaches are crapping on a uniform I love with their poor play.

That's what I would be booing.

 

I agree with Crowder. How is it right to boo the players when they're not the ones running the show. If you want to boo the 53 man team, then find another team to root for rather than showing a display of classlessness. This team plays hard and deserves better support from its fans. It's easy to root for your team when things are going great, but it's the tough times that show what fans are made of.... and it's the tough times when teams need its fans' support the most.

 

Let this bum go play in philly for a season and take chad henne with him.They will need a year supply of tissues.Freaking overpaid suck *** babies.

 

Channing Crowder is a fair wheather linebacker!!!!!

 

Funny how in sports, we're less than a good person when we act like we'd act to getting any other sub standard product.

 

AMEN.

Crowder was right.

The evidence is clear. it is irrefutable. Our Fans at large SUCK. They have sucked for years, it just took a little more adversity to full reveal.

 

Not running the show. True. But they are the ones executing, or should I say lack of executing the plays. Booing is a fans right.....like it or not. Is it right.....I don't think so, but it is their right to express there displeasure.

Maybe the fans should just not go to the games next year. Then we could have some more of the Wanny days when there were more opposing teams fans then ours and the cameras didn't pan more then half way up because the freaking stadium was empty. Then maybe Crowder could take a pay cut because revenue is down. But hey at least everyone would be cheering him for the beast he isnt

 

I want to agree with you in more than principle, but I can't. I can't because I wasn't there this weekend to see the Dolphins lose their 7th home game this season and third in a row to the likes of the Bills, Browns, and Lions. I didn't have to pay money to see them this year, or expend the time and effort to do anything but pony up for a couple of beers and burgers at the bar. I think what they did was classless, but I honestly can't say if I wouldn't have done the same if I was in their shoes, because it's cheap and easy for me to type words on a message board. They're the ones that go through the hassle and investment and get nothing for it in return.

It's the same fan base that cheered orgasmically for Joey Porter when he was a DPOY candidate ..and then a year later was booing him and calling him a bum, sometimes to his face in public.

The same fan base that gets 13 years of play from JT, and then when he refuses to retire and plays one year with the Jets, they turn on him unmercifully.

 

When I go to a Seahawk game I LOVE shouting for the Seahawks back ups. That is so much fun.

 

Seriously, what's the difference between doing this to Henne as he prepared for the final drive and Dan Carpenter as he lines up for a game-winning FG?

Shows you how asinine and counter-productive our behavior was yesterday.

Exactly.

Imagine what it's like for these people's families at the game. What if this were your brother, father, son, etc.? Would you give a damn then? The target yesterday....his wife lives and dies with every play. And she's been seen weeping while fans 'express their displeasure'.

I understand the fanbase is frustrated. Hell, we're ALL frustrated. But that doesn't make it right for you to be a ******** about it.

EDIT: 'you' meaning in general.

 

You don't have to go to the games to have a strong opinion on this.

Just common sense and a touch of morality.

 

I didn´t go to the game and would never of boo´d Henne before the game....

But I sure did let out some swear words watching his two INTs on TV.

 

This is "sammy sucks" all over again.

I was at the stadium that day and almost got into a fist fight with fellow dolphin fans. Really? We attack OUR players now?

and I get dirty looks when I get on the opposition sometimes.

A small tip...insults, chants, nastiness, and unpleasant behavior...direct it at the guys on the other team. But no, we sure have zeal and energy to hate on our own. It's our move.

 

If this is the way you express dissatisfaction with goods/services in real life, I can't imagine you get a lot of cooperation from the other side. In fact, I think your chances of being assaulted are significantly higher

IMO, some people feel like they're immune in sports. Like things they would never say or do in real life are perfectly acceptable in the stands at a sporting event.

**Apologies if I'm misreading your post**

 

Who gives a damn what a loud-mouthed, mediocre, overpaid never-will-be LB thinks? Don't want to be boo'ed? Win a freaking home game and earn your damn game checks.

 

It's tough when Channing Crowder is basically right. Miami fans right now, unfortunately, cannot hold a torch to Green Bay, Dallas or Pittsburgh fans.

They too would be in a frenzy in our situation, but they wouldn't boo specific players (specific interceptions? absolutely).

 

Bullcrap. I have heard Dallas fans boo specific players. Particularly Romo.

 

I shouldn't give you guys any more ammunition, but what the heck.

I was at a game back in the mid 90's. Boomer Esiason was the Jets QB and the fanbase was getting tired off his inconsistent play (his arm was pretty shot by then). Midway through the game, Esiason got sacked and he was clearly hurt as he just lay on the turf. The stadium burst into a loud, prolonged cheer. I was mortified. I almost got into a fight with the idiots behind me that were cheering with everyone else. I could not believe that they were cheering because Esiason was hurt and had to come out of the game. It sickened me.

Something happens when you gather tens of thousands of people together at a sporting event. They have a propensity to turn into idiots.
