The Philly fans booed the hit, not the ensuing injury. No one knew he had a potentially life-altering injury.
March 22, 2006: Philadelphia Flyer R.J. Umberger was hit from behind and spent considerable time on the ice before getting to his feet and skating off under his own power while being booed by New York Rangers fans.
They booed a drunk, skinny, fill-in Santa Claus (because the original one didn't show up) in the late 1960's -- 40 years ago.
Nope. AS you can see from the line there was no booing involved. The crowd was cheering while Irvin was getting the neck brace on and being carted away. I at the time didn't take the cynical view and viewed it as the crowd cheering the wounded warrior as he left the field. The media took it as the fans cheering the injury of Irvin.
They were cheering an injury to an opposing player. Classy.
