Owned.
In what way?, other than you agreeing with his version of the events of the late 2015 season, events the nature of which remain unprovable as J4rn0 himself says.
I agree and have consistently said myself Rossi in general has had no more advantages than riders of similar stature before him such as Mick Doohan, and with which I have no problem; I argued at the time he should be allowed to switch to the Bridgestones. My gripe is with Ducati no longer being provided with or allowed to develop a tyre which suited their bike, particularly if this occurred as early as 2008. As I have also previously said I am unaware of any proof of this occurring in 2008, and if it did Dorna rather than Rossi was the likely perpetrator.
As I have also said, my main gripe with Rossi is him using the ..... element among his fandom and his influence in the media as a weapon against his rivals, which he continues to do currently by tacitly encouraging the booing of those rivals; he also continues to regurgitate his petulant conspiracy theories in regard to last year's championship.

How is Rossi encouraging the booing of his rivals?
I did say tacitly. By continuing to put forward his unprovable version of the events of late season 2015 quite frequently in press conferences and interviews in this new season. There was also reportedly an initiative from a British journalist which he dismissed, and a quote from Jorge on on gpone concerning the booing, which JL himself regards to being similar to what occurs at soccer games and is not complaining about too much himself; the Jorge quote is in one of the other articles in the link about some riders and bikes being stranded in Argentina after the recent race.

So you want Rossi to change his opinion on the events of 2015 in hopes that will stop some of his fans from booing rivals?
He can have whatever view he likes obviously, although I don't believe he is correct and more particularly I don't believe he has any proof, which is my problem with him continuing to promulgate that view in what is a new season which his rivals are getting on with, unprompted at times from what I have seen, and in full awareness of the attitude of the more fanatical element among his fans, among whom I had not assigned you. If you think a soccer hopligan mentality belongs with MotoGP in which the competitors are actually risking their lives then I guess we have different views.
I referred you to the link to JL, and someone I think on David Emmett's site referred to the British journalist who sought an end to the booing and was given the brush-off by the Tavullia Titan.

This is funny. I don't think you're so stupid as to not be able to make the connection why the booing exist, therefore you're obviously attempting (quite poorly) a debate tactic.
Rossi IS the reason the fans are booing Marc & Jorge! You're taking the J4rn0 approach here to skirt the obvious. What are you gonna ask next, 'please show me where Rossi told fans to boo?'
Rossi vilified these two rivals by making baseless chickenshit McCarthyist accusations which his fans eat up like religious minions, and took Rossi's lead to echo Valentino's (that apostrophe means possession) displeasure.
Rossi: those to guys are boo worthy.
Rossi minions: hey look, there they are, BOO.
Confusing?

What if I told you two that Rossi fanatics boo'd his rivals even before 2015? Rossi's version of the events of 2015 fanned the flames a bit, but there was already plenty of dislike for MM and JL. Some fans are just ......... There's JL, MM, & Stoner fans (led by JPS) that hate Rossi and would cheer if he crashed out a race.

Stoner got booed because Rossi vilified him. Marquez and Lorenzo are getting booed because Rossi vilified them.
Common denominator: Rossi.
So Rossi’s version of things "fanned the flames a bit"? Rossi started the FIRE!

Early 2015 you were on this forum calling MM "Murder Mac" and it had NOTHING to do with Rossi vilifying him.

Yes, and I also saw him win at Laguna, Austin, and Indy for good measure. Never crossed my mind to boo him at the podium. And...I don't recall others booing him either UNTIL Rossi declared a fatwa against him.
Who are you trying to convince the booing wasn't initiated precisely by Rossi?
(EDIT Meant to be a reply to Moto Vudu) Nice straw man, and what your argument suggests is that all this has been going on for longer, for which I hadn't previously blamed Rossi but rather his fans, my attitude now having changed. I don't believe any real fan would cheer a rider crashing out, and I don't recall MM and JL being booed on the podium previously, nor Stoner on the podium overly much; particular circumstances applied applied one weekend at Silverstone.

Some fans of athletes and teams will boo opponents... period. Remember NBA games in the 90's when fans would boo the home team if they were playing the Bulls. Did Jordan initiate the booing? He often talked trash to the other team!

Buddy, this isn't a stick and ball sport. I know about booing the opposing team, I grew up with baseball. It was one of the best parts of going to the ball park, jeering, mocking, and taunting players. Sitting over the dugout of the visiting team was the best. I always enjoyed listening to the creative ridicules of other fans.
I've also been going to motorcycle races for close to 20 years, club, WERA, AMA, WSBK, & GP. In all that time I've only twice heard fans jeer a person on the podium. Actually, it wasn't even during the podium ceremony, but rather the interviews after the podium ceremony. Once for Mat Mladin, and another time for Aaron Yates. Both deserved it too.
Motorcycle racing just doesn't normal inspire booing. And for good reason. Except of course with the peculiar type of fan associated with Valentino Rossi. Poetic I think.

I do think Rossi encourages that element among his fans, and so do MM and JL.
What Jordan may have done in the entirely different sport of basketball where competitors by and large don't risk their lives much is rather irrelevant to gp bike racing where booing competitors on the podium had not been typical of the sport in the 30 years I have followed it.

Gavin Emmett asked the riders their thoughts on the booing during the pre-event presser at Argentina. Lorenzo said: he didn't know what he did wrong to get booed, and reminded the audience he is risking his life to "give a good race". Marquez said he is aware of booing being a soccer fan, but said all he could do for his part was to try his best and race well. Rossi said "Booing? I don't no nothing."
