Professional sports organizations, teams, and players seem to be going out of their way to antagonize and belittle their very own fans ... the ones who are paying them handsomely to play games for a living. How long is it going to take before these imbeciles figure out that they are cutting their very own throats, eh?
NY Mets *players* are now booing the fans after big hits ‘to let them know how it feels’

New York Mets infielder Javier Báez confirmed today that the “thumbs down” sign they’ve been flashing to the crowd after big hits is to retaliate for fans booing them when they do something bad.
“When we don’t get success we’re going to get booed, so they are going to get booed when we have success,” he said:
Mike Puma ~ Javier Baez on the thumbs down sign Mets players have been flashing to the crowd after big hits: "To let [the fans] know when we don't get success we're going to get booed, so they are going to get booed when we have success."
And “we’re going to do the same thing to let them know how it feels”:
Deesha ~ Javy Báez said the Mets' new thumbs down celebration is a response to fans booing the team.
"We're not machines, we're going to struggle. ... It just feels bad when I strikeout and I get booed. ... We're going to do the same thing to let them know how it feels," he said.
Based on his 2019 salary, Baez earns $5.2 million per year to play baseball. Hmmm ... maybe he's being paid way more than enough to take a little heat whenever he is not playing at his best, eh?
This is unreal:
Tim Healey ~ Javier Baez said Mets' thumbs-down celebration after big hits is a message to fans, who have booed him & others.
"In my case, they (the fans) gotta be better," Baez said. "It’s just how I feel. I love the fans I like playing for the fans, but we can’t have our fans against us."
And we can’t wait for the backfire on this one. It will be spectacular:
Tim Healey ~ More Javier Baez: "It feels bad when I strike out and I get booed. It doesn’t really get to me, but I want to let them know that when we’re successful, we’re going to do the same thing, to let them know how it feels ... They’re going to put more pressure on the team."
Luis Rojas, manager of the team, says he didn’t know this was going on:
Tim Healey ~ Luis Rojas said he didn't realize Mets players were booing fans back with their thumbs-down celebration, which they have been doing for at least a week.
"This is the first of heard of the meaning of this," he said.
