So fans can boo and there's nothing wrong with it. But if players call it out, they're whiners.
I'd hope people see the irony in that defense...

The St. Louis comment is stupid. Tyler Greene was booed by the Cardinals fans just this year.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I do not boo at my team. I will criticize effort and lack of execution. You as a fan pay good money to attend the game, especially playoff games, you should be able to boo if your team plays that poorly. I find almost ridiculous that Bruce is complaining about the fans. He is treated like a perennial MVP candidate by Cincinnati fans when he is a career .255 hitter and has never driven in 100 runs in a season.
Marty and Thom open their broadcast mentioning all the empty seats at the game today. Not sure if it's a late arriving crowd (parking will be terrible today, with the game occurring during a business day when lots are already full), or if not sold out.
sorry we're boring
I don't think there is anything ironic about it. The players are entertainers. If the fans aren't being entertained, why shouldn't they express it?
Players have to know that they're not going to satisfy every fan, and that some fans are going to boo them. They're being paid a lot of money to do what they do. Part of that paycheck involves them being able to deal with the pressure the fans put on them.

Yep. Cincinnati sports fans don't know what they are talking about at all.
