Here's the thing. If I clear a bit of forested area to build a cabin, I really don't care about the feelings of the animals I displaced. If Evan Neal truly doesn't care, then prove it by keeping your mouth shut. Instead, he took offense to the booing, and let people know what he thought of them. Nothing more than animals.
Lets also not pretend this was a bad day at work. The product on the field the Giants put forth has been garbage. The fans pay a boatload of money to go see them. It's akin to going to a 5 star restaurant, ordering $150 meal, and they bring you a flank steak. Of course you're going to boo. And Neal has been playing like trash for over a season already.

Actually no. I think he doesn't want to make the same mistake Burrow is making by playing injured. I only brought that up because there are players that tap out after a big payday. Giving them fully guaranteed contracts would only make that problem worse. Possibly turn the NFL into the NBA.
