Fascinating observation, GP. I’m not sure that there is such a thing as an ‘average football fan’...however why such booing should be confined to (I’d suggest a small minority of) football fans is a good question.
I suppose the issue has always been football related as, going back fifty years or so, the moronic throwing of bananas never extended to cricket and rugby crowds.
