Much ado over nothing. They weren’t booing Tebow because of his religion. They were booing him because he plays for the Jets. Doesn’t anybody know that there is a friendly cross-town rivalry between Yankees/Giants and Mets/Jets?
Based on the way that this thread is going I figure it's safe to assume that most don't know and that most of the rest don't care because, let's face it, it's just more fun to be a victim. I swear, there are days when the "persecuted masses" on this board make me really scratch my head.
You are correct sir. Yankees/Giants and Mets/Jets makes perfect sense. When I grew up the Yankees and Giants were the establishment, the uptight bunch. Their fans looked like the characters in Mad Men. The Mets and Jets were the carefree fun loving crowd. Tug McGraw and Joe Namath. FuManchus and big sideburns. So a Jets QB being booed in the Stadium that sits next to the site of the Giants old stadium, filled with Giant fans, is no surprise.
