Though sports are entertainment for the consumer, it is a career for others.

I see nothing wrong with feedback such as booing.

I'm subject to criticism and annual reviews in my profession. I'm not cursed at or have food thrown at me, so that would be crossing a line toward refs .

But a healthy dose of booing is great, in my mind.

That's not a BYU thing. BYU is pretty tame on the refs compared to most other

I usually am against booing refs - but that crew should have never had a job

Surprised the refs didn't penalize the crowd.

Refs mess up and deserve it sometimes.

We did it back in the 80's and 90's.
