I'm one who would never boo the team. I won't even boo opposing teams or players, I personally think it lacks class. The players hear when fans cheer, they also hear when the fans are quiet. Want to make a statement, don't make any noise, not much would get their attention more than 80,000 people not cheering and not making a noise.

The ONLY ones I might BOO would be the refs![grin1]
If the Packers are playing bad, I'd just sit quietly.
But I don't fault anyone that decides to boo. It's their right. Even if I disagree with it.
Maybe it made a point to the players that mediocre play won't be accepted here.
Back in the 70s and 80s, we expected the Packers to lose. A win was celebrated like it was the super bowl.
Back when I was in junior high, I was made fun of for being a Packer fan. (High school too).
But I remained true to "MY" team, win or lose. I still do.
With the extreme high cost to see a game today, people "buy" the fee to cheer or boo.
On a side note, when I have been at games and the Packers are doing well, sometimes I just sit and listen to the crowd when the Pack makes a big play. Try it some time! The power of 70 thousand-plus fans screaming is something to behold! When you just take it in without yelling yourself, you really FEEL what the power of it is!
