WTF? You should want to welcome the guy and have his back. Instead, you have the asshole response. Bad manners has become more and more acceptable in the last few years. I wonder why?
The casual NY football fan hasn't heard all the positives coming out about Jones from OTAs and minicamp. For many of them, what they know if that Jones was a terrible pick at #6, because that's what the "experts" have told them.
It was a mix of boos and cheers. You do realize it was a Yankees, not Giants event? At minimum, 30% of the stadium is not Giants fans/don't care about football. Jets fans will boo him. Cowboys fans will boo him. Fans of all other teams will boo him. They were all in attendance last night.
I was at the Giants Town Hall, a Giants event. He was not booed.
You read or hear enough bad things about someone or something and decide to follow the herd you become a puppet for the media and their agenda.
The booing, fans have always booed, they booed Simms, but they should at least be more informed before looking so pathetically typical, ignorant and manipulated.
I've been a Yankee fan my entire life, but I have to admit that they have a lot of front runner and casuals in their fanbase. These people only know what ESPN reports, and only believe what these so-called experts tetll them.
Fans like that don’t deserve a kid like DJ. This kid has talent as he has showed in early practices and the goods to have the talking heads questioning there evaluations. But for a bunch or morons to boo this kid is un-fucking real. It disgusts me to no ends. I hope Gettleman/ Mara make a statement to the press.
I would love to see the Headlines in the NY Post or Daily News..
TO ALL WHO BOO’d David Jones...... Fuck You..
The announcers pointed it out but it didn't sound particularly loud. Considering the fact that not all Yankee fans are Giants fans, is that really something to get worked up about?
Not that I'd sit there and boo Darnold, but I'm sure plenty would.
He said it was not that big a deal and many in his area who booed were drinking and thought it was funny. Even so, kid deserves much better for the work he has put in and the manner in which he has handled the uproar over his selection. I hope he shuts up all the critics of his selection--me included.
As soon as I saw the article in the Post of him getting boo'd at the game I was looking forward to this meltdown thread on BBI.
Welcome to NY Mr. Jones.
As both a Giants and Yankees fan I wish the kid well but I was not happy with the pick. And despite the glowing reports of him playing in shorts this spring, I will wait and see. Not surprised so many here have their panties in a bunch that he did not get a standing O for those beautiful TD passes to Darius Slayton, but as someone who has lived most of my life in NY, usually you have to earn it in the big city.
All I know is he is was an unexpected pick for a bad football team. Many fans wanted someone else. He seems to have the personalty to weather through the storm of criticism and being boo'd will hopefully only make him stronger and any success the sweeter.
lol, because an individual or a group of individuals in this case don’t share your line of thinking they can’t think for themselves?
Well that s one way to look at it. My view would be even though you think it s a bad pick, save your booing for when he does something to deserve it.
He gets booed for being drafted? Maybe the wrong target, no?
Also if you don’t understand that people in the day of the internet are often being manipulated by opinion being put out by fact because they are not motivated to dig a bit deeper before formulating an opinion and expressing it, well That s surprising
It is not Jones fault that the Giants made the most head scratching move of the draft picking him at #6 and getting blasted across the country. But there is still a lot of anger over the selection. The fans can't publicly express it to Mara and the the draft team but they can let it be known how they feel.
Still Jones should just lay low work hard and prove people wrong. He should keep a low profile for a while.
a few of them were - they weren't booing Jones, they're booing the Giants. Same as they did for Shurmur.
Not exactly fair - but people are fed up with years of losing. People were annoyed with Steve Tisch and they booed him while he was trying to make a breast cancer awareness presentation.
Or, maybe it was all Tampa Bay fans. There had to be at least 3 of them there.
Tony in Tampa: You'll wait and see. Apparently that's too much to ask anymore.
If the point is to wait and see, then why boo?
That's what I meant BSIMatt. Everyone should take a wait and see. There is no reason to boo anyone right now, including Gettleman. I've said before, this is the year the draft coverage officially jumped the shark for me.

people are assuming the Yankees fans at the game last night are Giants fans doing the booing. Like the poster said above, they were prob Jets/Cowboys fans booing because we all know there are a lot of Jets/Yanks and Cowboys/Yanks fans out there.
RE: Yankee fans are front runner and do not.like underpreforming teams Â
That is not what front runner fans are. Try Cowboys fans - fans when the win, disappear when they lose. The Yankees rarely lose, but even so Yankees fans do not disappear in off years..
I'm glad that our sports "journalists" have found such serious topics on which to report . . . .
Even if it was Sam Darnold, I don't think I'd boo him. Who cares?
I was at the Giants Town Hall, a Giants event. He was not booed.
Don't understand why this is moving the needle.

Stay classy Yanks fans.
This.

Guarantee some of the fans (at the Stadium) booing are BBI posters

Go to the school bathroom in second grade with a bunch of Yankees fans...some things never change.
Go Sox!

Haha, yeah, Red Sox fans are better. Known for their humility and acceptance of people of color!
There's trash in every single fan base. New York isn't above it.
