I will never understand these sports people...

    In my experience, a situation like this would probably be in jest by someone the deceased knew and had a friendly disagreement about sports teams with.

    Usually, when family or loved ones disagree about the team they support, it just leads to gentle ribbing. It's all in good fun.

    Of course. The person who booed is probably someone extremely close, and booing was their final tribute to their friend, their last disagreement about the sport they loved together. I could see myself doing something like that for a friend.

    It's really pretty great.

    everything is sports just as much as everything is politics when you live in a world where people treat their own political faction as a sports team they root for rather than a sports team they are on
