Kyle Van Noy Says Patriots Fans Booing Team is 'Disrespectful'
By Mark Powell
As if the Patriots didn't face enough of a challenge turning around their offensive woes after a rare losing streak, even their own fans are growing weary of the struggles.
Boston sports fans notoriously have short memories, even in the midst of a dynasty. While the likes of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick have dealt with the jeering quite well, Kyle Van Noy seem a little bit annoyed.
"I thought it was disrespectful," Van Noy said. "We're trying to put the best product on the field. We're not trying to disappoint anyone. Just imagine as a fan or a media person that our feelings are probably 100 times more. Our livelihoods are on the line and we want to win."
Van Noy makes a good point, as the internal frustrations are likely far greater than what any of us can imagine. Yet, even the greatest of players get booed in the modern sports World. For Brady and Co. to last this long without hearing such negative feedback is actually quite impressive.
If anything, the Patriots will use this as further motivation. It's just what they do.
