Donovan, you are playing the most high profile position in a city where they boo Santa. Starting 0-2 is going to earn you lots of spite. If you want to be loved, WIN.

McNabb IMO has faced a LOT of unearned criticism in Philly over his career. The hilarious irony over his own fans booing him on draft day is that they were upset because they wanted Ricky Williams. I wonder how that wouldve worked out for them. The guy's taken them to a Super Bowl appearance and the start of this year aside, has been a Pro Bowl-calibre QB throughout his career.
With that said, the fact he is playing the race card is beyond ridiculous. Reading something like that really makes me lose respect for him. Its like you said, he's just playing in a city where theyre harder on their team than any other place, the fans are nuts. Booing Santa as you stated, as well as cheering when Michael Irvin had to be carted off the field in what ended up being a career ending injury(and they werent politely clapping either, it was about a star player on the rival team being on his ass). McNabb needs to quit whining and just play.
