Blog #4

My fourth observation took place on September 22nd. I waited until later on in the day to observe because it just to happened that the Jets had the Monday Night Football game against the Chargers in San Diego. About halfway through the game I noticed a handful of posts start to come up. This was mainly because it was about the point in the game when the Jets had fallen significantly behind San Diego on the scoreboard and the fans became upset and probably wanted to voice their opinions. One user, called ‘J-E-T-S jets jets jets’ when on in a rant complaining about how Farve and his receivers were not on the same page, which led to bad interceptions. He also spoke about how he thought the coaching staff was making bad play calls and that with that type of mindset for the offense the season was going to go nowhere. He also received many responses along the same lines. Just disheartened fans posting during the game because they were more upset than mad. You could tell by their user names that they were indeed Jets fans sharing a common frustration.
