The word hater needs to be omitted from conversation as it is over used. Just because people disagree with you does not make them a hater. I have watched BC and none stood out as a D1 player. Could I have missed? Of course but I did not miss all five of them.
Hater typically has nothing to do with an agreement or disagreement. It has to do with an
attitude of heart, and
character of questionable value. I am not calling you or anyone who has made a comment on this or any other post a hater. But a hater is not hard to find...........
Anyone who
constantly puts children down is an obvious " " You fill the blank in. Anyone who has to "always" be right even when it harms others is a " " You fill the blank in. Anyone who sees someone doing great and looks for faults in them regardless is a " " You fill in the blank.
Anyone who puts others down just to try to make themselves look or feel better is a " " You fill the blank in.
Anyone who starts something and then when others respond with something they don't like such as standing up for themselves or something worthy and they don't like or can't take it and it shows in their attitude is a " " you fill the blank in.
Anyone who doesn't recognize when they are dealing with someone that is too much for them and it doesn't matter how many " " come to help there is still no way to win. But they don't want to give in, they'd rather continue to bast in the misery they're trapped in is a " " you fill the blank in.
Anyone with significant power who selfishly (often times violently forces their beliefs and ideology on others) puts themselves and those they are aligned with before the masses of good people and doesn't necessarily play fair with no compassion for others is a " " you fill in the blank. Obviously there are other things that define a hater. For more pick up "Knock The Devil Out".
If you or anyone else is not guilty of doing things that fit into any of those hater boxes, your not a hater, so you have no worries about the word or label because it doesn't fit you or anyone else.
It is one thing to think a team or coach is not very good or over-rated and express that fact. It is another to continue to bash a coach, a team, a program, and a
group of innocent children who are caught in the middle of non productive attacks involving them when they are doing all they can do and keeping a good attitude for the most part.
That is just my opinion. Not saying I'm right or wrong, it's my opinion only. It's America. You and others are free to express your opinions as well. Sometimes we are in agreement. Other times perhaps not? I think it is best to stay on the path of promoting
safe, positive, and healthy girls basketball. And there could never be too much
positive encouragement IMO.
