I am not a football fan and rarely watch any of the SuperBowl. However, having purchased a new HDTV last year, I felt *obligated* to tune in for a few minutes. (Y'see, people who love sports cannot understand how we, a couple of non-sports-lovers, would need or even want an HDTV. To watch what? **sigh**)

Anywho, I tuned in during the introductions, saw the scene you described, and yes, my first reaction was "OhMyGosh, they're booing him." Then I did analyze the situation and came to a different (correct) conclusion, but still...

I guess that proves that a non-fan should not watch.
