Michael: Unacceptable to: cheer a bad shot; make derogatory personal remarks; make a noise when a player is playing a shot; totally unacceptable to direct foul language towards a player; totally unacceptable to intimidate a player's family. Paul: I think it is disgraceful and shameful that some fans are looking forward to being very rude to players during this event.
We asked for your thoughts what is and isn't acceptable behaviour from supporters at the Ryder Cup.
Here are some of your comments:
James: As long as the support does not get personal and rude, then I see no problem with home crowds being partisan. When someone get drunk and causes issues, that when it's time to step in and say something.
Michael: Unacceptable to: cheer a bad shot; make derogatory personal remarks; make a noise when a player is playing a shot; totally unacceptable to direct foul language towards a player; totally unacceptable to intimidate a player's family.
Tracy: To be brutally honest, I believe spectators will be rude and quite frankly obnoxious towards the European players. I hope that the officials will stamp this out immediately if any of the players are subject to any abuse. They have no real idea of the etiquette of golf.
Joe: Alas this will earn the monicker "Ryot Cup." The notion of placing this event in the New York was laughable from the jump. I expect this edition to feature ejections and booze-fueled brawls. Jingoism - both sides guilty as charged - and ugly hectoring shall be par for the course. Boorish behavior at its abject finest.
Jill: I hope the supporters will want the teams to win fairly so rudeness and intimidation will not help that.
Paul: I think it is disgraceful and shameful that some fans are looking forward to being very rude to players during this event. This is golf not football.
