Andrew Luck Retired, Colts Fans Caught Booing

Andrew Luck retired this past Sunday, and some Colts fans were caught booing as Luck left the field. Check out the story from Belly Up Sports own Mike Brown.

Now, I say some fans because I get it, not every Colts fan was at this particular game. This was a pre-season game, tickets were probably given away to someone, hey nothing wrong with that, I have been to a few for free as well

Disheartening! That is the only way I can describe it. Why would you boo someone who is retiring for physical and mental health? Someone who has fought for your team and fought through the pain and how you say thanks is by booing him.

How about stand up and say Thank you? Being understanding of the fact that a 29-year-old kid can not do this anymore? How about a simple slow clap as he walks across the field? No, you decide to tell this man, we hate you for wanting to take care of yourself and that you entertaining me is more important.

Support

Andrew Luck has had some great support from NFL players, basically scolding fans for the poor display of affection, including teammate T.Y. Hilton:

Every time i think about it, Tears start to flow 😭😭😭. No one understands you like i do. Our bond is one of a kind. I’ve decided to dedicate my season to my BEST FRIEND. I Love You 12. #Luck2Hilton pic.twitter.com/9a3JzxNum2

And by far this was my favorite tweet…

That’s total bullshit Doug. What qualifies you to decide how someone should live their life? So you’re now the authority on what motivates Andrew Luck? And if his decisions don’t fit into what you think is best for him then you rip him? Guess that keeps you employed on FS1. Nice https://t.co/p59DsmPoER

In Conclusion

My opinion on Andrew Luck’s retirement is that we as fan’s do not have a right to tell someone when they can call it quit’s. When your parent says its time for me to retire we do not boo them or say but you have so many years left. The fact of the matter is that football is a very physical sport and everyone’s body is different. I hope Colts fans can understand that and give him the goodbye he deserves.
