The "Silent" Boo

Sports Fans,

Have you ever had a team that was so bad, words could not express your frustration? Well, being both a Knicks fan and a Jets fan for my whole life, I have had this feeling. After many sleepless nights and days wondering when Vinnie Testaverde would finally croak or when we’d call Latrell Sprewell from retirement, I came up with a simple gesture that gets the point across.

The “Silent” Boo is made of a simple thumbs down with the right hand, and another thumbs down with the left hand, all simultaneously. Just your basic double thumbs down, but with an added up-and-down motion. For all those turnovers that leave you speechless. For all those defensive stands that lack…defense. For all those third-and-long HB Draws. For all those 0-2 fastballs right down Broadway, this is your statement. Don’t waste your breath yelling at people that can’t hear you. Don’t make you neighbor call the cops due to noise violations. Don’t waste your water bottles on Ron Artest. Just “silent” boo.

Now why have I put “silent” in quotations? Well it’s a noiseless motion, but with more and more support, we can get people from all over to silently protest these horrendous mistakes. So next time you want to hit Milton Bradley with your drink or liter the field with beer bottles, don’t.

Just “silent” boo.
