The hometown crowd didn’t receive Dalton all that warmly. Dalton was greeted by a mixed reaction from fans with boos audible when he was introduced before the game and before his first at-bat.

 

“I’m not worried about it,” Dalton said, via the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Everybody has got an opinion. It doesn’t really matter. It comes with it. Everybody has their opinion here. There’s a lot of support and that’s all that matters.

 

”Dalton didn’t seem worried about it while hitting a pair of home runs that were greeted by a happier reaction from the masses during the game. If Dalton can get his career playoff win total to match his career celebrity softball home runs, that happier reaction should carry the day in Cincinnati moving forward.

Really embarrassing display by the city IMO.

I am with you, that was a sad display.

:lol2:

I get it. People don't like Dalton as the QB of the Bengals. That's fair. You want to boo him on the field every Sunday in the Fall, go right ahead. Yesterday wasn't the place for it. This is a national event that the city is putting on to showcase itself to the country. The attention the city gets for this entire week/weekend should be positive, not the negativity that this has brought on.

Just Cincy being Cincy

:lol2:

 

I'm gonna remember this post.

Now let me ask, did any of you really expect him to be cheered? Come on. Personally I wouldn't have boo'd the guy, but in Cincy, would you really expect anything less?

Spot-on. :thumb:

Sounds like the city wants a new QB!

I was very disappointed yesterday when I heard it. We aren't Philly.

Don't let all the headlines fool you, there were plenty of cheers for him yesterday too.

Urban Meyer was boo'd as well, who cares. It's not like it was a stadium full of all Bengals fans. It was a hodgepodge of fans.

I get boos as was said at a game.

 

AS was also said, in any other venue the guy seems to A-1. He does a ton of charitable work plus supports Cincinnati endeavors.
