When you cheer for him, you are cheering for his accomplishments on the baseball field. You are not cheering for him as a man, or a human being.
If you can't make the distinction, you probably shouldn't ever cheer.
When you boo someone, are you booing them as a man or a human being? Of course not; you are booing their performance on the baseball field.
It works both ways, folks.

Exactly and I'm one of the few here who sees guys who hit woman as scum as well (one of the biggest nos in my book).
