Boo? Fuck you!

Words spoken by the immortal Chase Utley back in the day.

Of course Sean Rodriguez was going to be booed last night. That was inevitable after he hit a walk-off homer Monday night and then told the media after the game that Phillies fans were “entitled,” and other such nonsense.

Here’s S-Rod receiving a warm welcome in the bottom of the second inning:

If you’d like a refresher, here are his comments from Monday night:

I’m not the one booing, I’m not the one screaming, I’m not the one saying pretty disgusting things at times. That seems pretty entitled; you’re just making yourself look pretty bad as an individual, as a person, and as a fan. You’re making guys not wanna basically sit there and say they’re gonna support you here, they’re gonna do this. That’s tough. There’s still a lot of good fans though. Those are the ones I hear, those are the ones I pay attention to. The few that might be behind home plate to say ‘hey Sean keep doing your thing, don’t worry about it, things will come around.’ ‘Hey Rhys, hey so and so, hey Bryce.’ Through the thick and thin that’s when you really get to show your true colors. So when you act a certain way towards somebody because you don’t feel like they’re doing what they need to do, just look at life in general. You wanna win. There’s nobody in here that doesn’t wanna win. You gotta just basically sit there and say, man, ‘let me see if I can’t help him get out of what he’s in. Let me see if I cant be encouraging enough to basically help an individual.’ That’s the harder thing to do. The easier thing is to scream ‘boo.’ Let me think of something to say that might be encouraging. I know it takes effort.

People pointed out that Rodriguez didn’t seem to understand the meaning of the word ‘entitled,’ so I’ll give you the dictionary definition, straight outta Merriam-Webster:

1having a right to certain benefits or privileges

After having saved the country, ain’t they entitled to help themselves to just as much of it as they want?— Mark Twain

2having or showing a feeling of entitlement

spoiled, entitled children

his entitled attitude/behavior

leading an entitled life

So yeah.
