    Who cares? This is the same media that always calls Houston fair weather fans and blah blah blah. Really, who cares? I sure don't.

    All of this is really just taking the focus of this disaster of a team right now and the people who are responsible.

    I didn't cheer when Matt got hurt, but I despise self righteous sports fans how could you all cheer when he got hurt. Simple it's my right. What's the saddest thing about the whole situation is how politically correct everyone must be this is America and to everyone with these your the lowest or worst fans comments. F you from a real Texans fan.

    Clearly the fans are the reason for the Texans poor play. :grin:

    You all need to keep your head up and keep battlefightin'.

    As Mack Brown said, "keep coming (to the game). Let's beat Kansas City. ... Keep coming for the kids. Keep supporting the players. Come help beat Kansas City."

    Oh, bro, the fans could have no booed and I'd still feel the exact same way. Generally, trashiest group of losers in the city. Trash people. There are Dolphins with more IQ than the average person at Reliant on a Sunday.

    There's a difference between being called fair weather and being called classless idiots.

    I'm sure the people cheering on the injury don't care... and likewise, they shouldn't care when people call them out on it.

    See the anguish and despair here, I am glad I don't give a **** about the over-rated Texans and NFL as a sport in general. It's all about the Rockets and the NBA

    Hopefully radio shows like 790 can now focus on a real team like the Rockets and a real sport like BBall instead of focusing 95% on the Texans and the crap sport NFL

    Yes... The statistical odds of an abundance of idiots showing up out of a group of 70,000 is great regardless of the environment or whether the fans are from Houston, Boston, Seattle etc.

    Sorry... basketball doesn't become relevant in any NBA/NFL town till after the NFL is done... and even then, they get side-tracked by free agency and the draft.

    Basically, you gotta wait till the NBA playoffs to have the stage all on basketball... and its basically the set-up of the NBA, where they make the regular season largely meaningless by allowing more teams to make the playoffs than not.

    Oh my god you're acting like a whiny b****. There's no difference in generalizing an entire group of people based on a few idiots.

    And again, those few idiots are the classless idiots I'm referring to.

    Sure, it's your right. People have the right to be assholes - no one has said otherwise. It's also other people's right to call you out for being an *******.

    Andre Johnson: "It's bad when members of the other team are saying that's messed up that they would do something like that. It just shows no class. It wasn't all the fans. But those are the same people that you're out somewhere with your family and you tell them they can't have an autograph right now, those are the same people that tell you you're rude. You don't cheer about nobody being injured -- I don't care who it is. Guys lay their bodies on the line out there on that field. Some guys get injuries, and it affects them their whole lives. To cheer about something like that, it just shows they have no class."

    Duane Brown:

    "We appreciate you loyal fans and the fans that stick by us -- I want to put that out there first," Brown said. "But for the fans that cheered when he got hurt, that's disgusting. You can feel how you want about him as a player, but this is his livelihood. This is how he provides for his family. When a man goes down and he's not able to get up and you're cheering, that's bad. It's all bad. You don't know what's wrong with him at that point. That could be the last play of his career. You don't know that. And for you to cheer and applaud that, I have no words for that.

    It sure doesn't sound like the players were scapegoating anyone, let alone the entire stadium.

    unless you're ready to give up the sport you don't have a leg to stand on.
