Boorish behavior is boorish behavior.

I'm reminded of the story Boyd K Packer tells about his brother, an auto mechanic, who got a long earful of profanity when he told a customer what the damage from an accident would cost. His brother told the customer, "we don't have to listen to that kind of language here." The customer left swearing even more. He later came back and apologized, saying that his only defense was that he had never before been told his language was not appropriate.

Likewise, some have never been told before that booing is not appropriate, Period! Some can accept apostolic counsel and some cannot. It doesn't matter if it is church or a football game. Because booing is as common at football games as profanity may be following an auto accident, some may find it difficult to hear and accept the idea that booing is not appropriate. Doesn't everybody do it? Who Does Elder Holland think he is saying otherwise?
