I really don't think it's as simple as them all being racists to be honest, I think it has more to do with them feeling "pushed into politics" no matter how hard they try to run away from it. No of course the reality is that Jo one can run from politics, we're all swimming in a big ol' soup of it ever day, and many of us embrace that for the purposes of rousing debate and have done for many years... But your average pie-munching footie fan? He's been living (he believes) a peaceful life free from having to think about all this politics stuff for a large chunk of his life. So, now he's mad that he's being "FORCED" to think about it on a Saturday afternoon "as well as every weekday in the papers".

I get it to an extent, in some cases we're expecting people who have never had to put their brain in anything over 2nd gear to suddenly start contemplating and empathising with a whole bunch of abstract reasoning and critical thought. It probably literally hurts. Many simply won't be able to do it. They don't understand what they're seeing, they don't like how it feels, they know it isn't about them so they worry that it might somehow be against them - that's part of tribalism and that's why they're booing.
