Believe me, I hated the Cowboys back then and even I was turned off by the fans jeers and boos. It was bad-—

I thought they were booing Deon who was doing some kind of religious curative dance around Irvin --I thought the cheers were the normal cheers for an injured athlete being taken off the field --that is the way the local sports color people who were there and fans who called the Sports talk Station explained it

I never heard any explanation like that as I did not have access to the local Philly media —maybe that is plausible.
I just remember the fans “booing” as Irvin was carted off-
it did not sit well with me or most people at the time.
