No. Don't like what you are paying for? Stop paying for it. Yes, these are elite athletes and are held to a higher standard but do you think their fan base being nasty helps matters? No, it doesn't. They are still humans prone to mistakes and lapses in judgment.
Fans have this horrible habit of running the player out of town and then the next guy comes in and he gets run out of town. Be a fan and cheer your team on.

Vicious? Being pissed that a stupid mistake caused a goal is hardly vicious.
I do like what I pay for, but I don't blindly cheer. I hope for excellence and criticize what falls short. This has nothing to do with being nasty. This is having a critical eye and wanting better.
I don't attack the person, I attack the mistakes and cheer for the successes.
I do think the Flames can do better than Brodie. Sorry if you don't like that, but I don't thinks he's that good. He's serviceable, so either be better or run him out of town.
But to sit there are be ok with stupid is foolish. I have the same standards for myself. No participation trophies for me.
