Girl,15, takes boos in stride at Colts-Charger game

Football fans can be quick to show their displeasure for hated rivals, but some say fans at the Indianapolis Colts-San Diego Chargers game this weekend went too far when they booed a 15-year-old girl from New Hampshire.Anna Grant, of Startham, N.H., was being honored on national television for winning the NFL Pepsi Punt, Pass and Kick Competition in the 14- to 15-year-old girls' division. She was named among the other winners of the competition."Then, it got down to me, and they said, 'Anna Grant from New England,' and they're all, like, 'Boo!'" Grant said.
Grant said she expected the crowd wouldn't be thrilled with her jersey, but she said she's a winner and her team's a winner, dominating the rest of the league and going undefeated so far this season

Pretty classless. The fans that booed her should be ashamed of themselves.

It says she took it in stride, but a 15 year old?
Yeah, classless, moronic, poor taste, etc. Kind of pathetic. Guess they got sick of hassling Rivers.

Booing a kid just because she has the jersey on of the team she represented in a contest is classless Seahawker.
Would it still be funny to you if it had been say, an 8 year old??

Getting boo'd isnt going to drive her to suicide or anything. Shes old enough, she can handle it. People were booing the jersey not her.

And my guess is that if we did a poll you're view would overwhelmingly be considered classless. That's the opinion of most so far anyway.
