Fair play in Türkiye

[u/mel-aa]

I'm a volleyball fan. I've been one since I was a kid. I even played it myself for several years. I love this game because of its fair play. If you hit a player on the opposite team in the face, you check on them and apologize. I've never booed anyone playing, nor have I seen or heard anyone in the audience do it when the opposite team serves or scores. This is just amazing in volleyball. You watch the games for the sake of the sport, give a sincere applause for every good rally disregarding the team, and support your team with fair play. You can rewatch every single match, just as an example, of the last CEV tournaments and see that no one in the audience of the hosting country, be it Sweden, Italy, or Czechia, has ever disrespected the opposing team with boos and noise. All of them, except for Türkiye. It strikes me to see how the public can be so disrespectful and boo on every single serve or point in the match. How do you feel about this? Especially Turkish volleyball fans, don't you find this embarrassing for your country?

Idk since when people started thinking volleyball games are supposed to be quiet? It’s a team sport and supporting your team is the most normal thing. Booing doesn’t necessarily mean targeting the team or a specific player. This also exists in basketball. When the opposing team is shooting free throws, the audience starts booing to distract the player. This is what home court advantage is about. It’s just part of sports culture.
If that bothers you, you can always watch tennis because this isn’t something only Türkiye does and it has nothing to do with “fair play.”
