    I pay a lot of money for my West Ham season ticket, and I look forward to the visits of former players so I can boo them (not all of them, I don't / didn't boo Scott Parker).

    I just yell obscenities. As long as I enunciate like a lady, I don't see a problem with it.

    At college hockey games, we have a tradition of (the whole crowd) yelling "WHO CARES?" after each name when they introduce the visiting team's starting lineup. Then there's sing-song chanting of "ugly goalie" whenever the opposing goalie takes off his helmet or "sieve, sieve, sieve, it's all your fault" after he has let our team score. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I think every visiting team expects this sort of thing. I mean, they're already playing HOCKEY, so getting hurt FEELINGS is the least of their worries.

    Yes.

    This I don't understand though: I went to opening day at Rangers stadium, and the fans kept booing Josh Hamilton (former Ranger, now playing for the Angels). He kept striking out or popping it up. I was CHEERING for him, he was helping the Rangers win. I mean, I understand booing him for existing, he's a *kitten*, but don't boo him when he's helping your team.....

    Oh, I guess that means I support booing rich sucky sports players who act like douches just because they exist.

    I boo any bad officiating mostly, but also former players that aren't held in high regard, general players who cheat or have done something bad. I don't see a problem doing that.
    In continental Europe, they tend to whistle instead of booing.
