British Fans Booing the National Anthem

[Shanus]

I expected them to boo FLoyd, which is fine, but the National Anthem??

It is tasteless but it happens in Rugby, Soccer and lots of other sports.

that was their only classless moment. They cheered the things Mayweather was saying.

But i did read a report saying that Mayweather was trying to play to the crowd during the anthem, and thats what the boos were for, but i didnt see anything...

Of course they cheered what Mayweather said, they had no ****ing choice. He just embarassed the best fighter in England, which isn't saying much, but still.

Hatton's fans are a classless sort. Don't mistake them for representatives of Britain. It's a very specific type who support this kid.

What is that supposed to mean?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Yeah, very classless but it was beautiful how Hatton got knocked the **** out after all that. None of their songs were bood by Americans. I would like to say they were just a bunch of rowdy drunk idiots, but they ****in act the same way on here.

I have never seen it happen in rugby.

That's just the way they do things. It didnt bother me really, maybe because I expected it.

It's love gone wrong

Couldn't have said it any better, when we face an impossible task British fans will try their best to even the playing field, usually by being downright disrespectful.

Hopefully the boos were aimed at that crappy Tyrese guy

I don't see what you don't understand. The behavior was certainly classless, and I only said that not all Brits are like that. It used to be on this site that some of the Brit posters would admit they didn't like Hatton or his fans. Their claim was that it's a bit of a classless bunch. Well that's no longer debateable, but I wouldn't want American to assum all Brits are on the same level.

So basically you're making a generalisation about Hatton's fans.
