This week in Hok Talk we go over the etiquette of booing and briefly discuss how the young pitching has progressed this season.
If you saw the headline and then you checked the byline and you’re familiar with my writing you probably started scratching your head, “Hokius says it’s OK to be mean to players?” you might think to yourself and the answer is...yeah. Booing is fine.
I’m the guy who wrote two lengthy articles about respecting athletes’ mental health. But even as I noted in those pieces, there’s a difference between what an athlete must deal with in a press conference vs heckling they might receive as they compete.
