The embattled DP really thinks that fans booed him on Saturday because he got hurt. He's completely, entirely wrong.
We all heard it.
In the 75th minute of Saturday's apocalyptic Hudson River Derby, Frank James Lampard made his long-delayed 2016 debut, subbing on for the punchless Andrea Pirlo with New York City FC trailing 5-0.
The boo-birds came with him. It certainly didn't help that stadium announcer Paul Olden introduced him, with preeminent tone-deafness, as "Super Frank Lampard."
Lamps, to be sure, is a serious professional. He has systematically built a reputation as a rugged, hard-charging offensive force through his star turns with Chelsea and the English national side.
