Matt Baker of the Tampa Bay Times wrote a logical, sensible column published today. It’s headlined “Why Florida fans should cheer, not boo, Feleipe Franks this weekend.“ It ticks all the boxes you’d expect from a mainstream analysis of Franks’s up-and-down career at Florida and the moments that lead to his latest moment of intersection with the Gators — Saturday’s game against Arkansas.
But I’m afraid that I don’t think the premise is all that valid.
To me, it’s simple: If you are a Florida fan who would boo Feleipe Franks for any reason other than him playing for the opposing team this weekend, you don’t get it.
