Boobird; (noun) A lower IQ form of human life. Typically seen in flocks at sporting events. They can be heard chanting 'BOO' when someone they don't like wins, giving them their name Boobird.
plural; Boobirds
Ferrandis is showing hunger/determination and grit! The fans are just victims of whatever that psychological phenomenon is when they are happy to boo him in a crowd but I guarantee you if they bump into him at their local grocery store they will be asking for a photo! All DF's RECENT passes are clean and Forkner is Cristiano Ronaldo'ing himself off the track every time coz he ain't gonna keep up with pure speed alone...
People knew not to play around with KW.

edit: I'm relating my comment to the incident with Craig which was a completely ridiculous take out
Regardless of the reasons he was booed, it's a bad look to be more offended than the victim. #harambe Dylan doesn't seem to really care, and knows what is important: wins, bonus checks, and that big, fat championship check he'll likely cash.
My sister-in-law learned French and she always makes it a point to speak french to the french riders in the pits when she goes to races. Marvin and Matilde were so nice to her and actually remember her every time she goes to a race and gets a chance to talk to them. But at A2 this year she saw Dylan during an autograph session and she started speaking french to him. He had a super unenthusiastic attitude and pretty much told her that he doesn't enjoy signing autographs and kind of blew her off. It is what it is, you can't expect every racer you meet to be in a great mood as they're people too. But the dude honestly doesn't seem like he cares about making fans, so you can't feel too bad for the guy when he's getting boo'd. It's not like he's making an effort like Dean, Ken, or AC to establish an over the top connection with his fans. He doesn't seem to care.
Every rider in this sport over the last 20 years has made super aggressive moves and been on the receiving end. that's what this sport is about. booers need to get over themselves and stop being hypocrites.
And about the being French thing. So what. It’s called National pride. Most people tend to cheer for the local guy that’s why announcers push the local athlete angle. When it’s an international support it’s only natural to cheer for the athlete or team from your home country... and yes boo the opponent... especially if there is even an appearance of dirty play.

We know all why Dylan Ferrandis is getting booed 3 straight weeks, or at least i would like to think that we're honest enough to acknowledge it. It's an embarrassment for everyone involved, the fans, the media, the industry.
Keep in mind, a lot of "us" are cheering for Dylan, too. "We" hope "we" are not also an embarrassment.
THIS IS GOOD FOR THE SPORT!!! This sport needs disparity. We need to stop trying to alienate anyone with a difference of opinion and tell them how they need to cheer while attending.
Every sport( and fan) has teams( in our case riders) that they like and ones they dislike. And they continue to watch and take part BECAUSE of that.
If the average fan doesn't care about who wins every week whats their motivation to keep watching?
This whole booing thing will fade but, trust me, this sport will have made fans because of this amazing footage of dylan ferrandis.
I hope he keeps riding aggressive and kicking ass and that will make people ( even ones who dont like him) keep watching and spending there money.
Rant over.
