Warfish Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Quote Rough crowd: Giants' rookie Daniel Jones booed at Yankees game It’s not news that fan bases can be tough on athletes that play for their favorite teams. But booing a player who has yet to take a snap? That seems a bit much. Via multiple reporters who were at Monday night’s New York Yankees game, Daniel Jones, the New York Giants’ rookie quarterback, was booed by the crowd. Now it could have been the New York Jets fans on hand who were booing Jones. That’s certainly possible. Or Giants fans who aren’t upset at Jones, but at the franchise’s direction under general manager Dave Gettleman and head coach Pat Shurmur (Shurmur was booed at Yankees Stadium last month, on his birthday no less). Give the kid a chance But it’s not Jones’ fault that Giants fans are upset with the team’s performance in recent seasons. He hasn’t really done anything of substance yet since he was drafted. In fact, as Giants reporter Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com wrote, Jones showed “better-than-expected arm strength” during New York’s spring camps, and picked up the playbook well, which was expected for the Duke-educated quarterback. Eli Manning is a Giants legend; the history books will always show that he helped guide the franchise to two Super Bowl titles. But Manning can’t play forever, and team brass believe that Jones can be Manning’s successor. Do New York fans want to be like the Miami Dolphins, who have been looking for their franchise quarterback for decades since Dan Marino’s retirement and have the record to match that struggle? It’s understandable if there’s frustration with the Mara family and/or Gettleman. But reserve the boos for them; give the kid a chance to show himself. Stay classy NY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 90% of those Yankees fans both didnt know where they were and/or who Daniel Jones is while they were booing him. They did it because everyone else did it. It's the same reason they're a "Yankees fan" and it's the same reason they moved to NYC. 5 2 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It's interesting the perspective you get on NY once you've left it behind, and especially when you travel the world more broadly. I could not agree more. I was an easy spot for anyone anywhere when I was a NY/NJ native. I usually had some sort of Ny item on my person and was proudly a decibel louder than most. Outside of Boston that is. Those friggin people. lolWhen I left and drove across the country for a month to live in LA I realized how most of the country views the NYC bubble. Let’s just say it’s not the same wayNew Yorkers view it. Getting out of there enables you to see it from a different perspective. I’ve lived all over this great country and have seen NY through many different lenses. It’s got a lot to admire but it’s not the center of the universe as it degrades into a soot covered swamp.

I think what he means is, if you're a Giants fan, you're very likely to be a Yankees fan. I've very rarely (if ever, now that I think about it) met someone who is a Giants and Mets fan. Lot's of Jets fans are Yankees fans, of course. But because of the Yankee Stadium connection for the Giants, Giants fans are very heavily Yankees people. So you would expect most Yankees fans to either be neutral OR lean positive regarding Daniel Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
