Agreed. Red's reaction is just way overboard. Labelling people as haters & 'Antoni supporters just cuz they don't like the way Jax does commentary during games. Not sure where that comes from.
Ok so let's see.
Some posters commented/offered an opinion regarding MJ's hiring BASED ON WHAT THEY FELT ABOUT HIS COMMENTARY and that's valid?
But I offered my opinion towards those unwilling to see how things turn out with a team no one (I don't think) has ANY vested interest in and called them "haters"...
But I'm "bitching and moaning"?
Is that how it goes?
Now the slanguistic term "hater" is offensive? Really?
Should I say by not allowing time to pass before judging and there is no validation in forming an opinion based on facts NOT present except for what you have observed via commentary is unfair? In my opinion? This equates to hating.
Further, isn't it ironic and contrary to do so whe many of these same posters are more than willing to place blame on our "roster" when defending 'Antoni?
So IF MJ fails/struggles its lack of [coaching] experience, but if MA does so its justified? Really, I just make no sense right?
And I'm NOT saying all or anyone in particular "supports MA over MJ", and if you do its wrong...
I'm saying to believe MJ will fail or doesn't deserve a shot with the bumba$$ GSW's because of how you perceive his commentary isn't fair at all.
Now if you say "who knows how he will do" or "I hope his lack of coaching doesn't limit his success" that's different.
To constantly post regarding his commentary as anecdotal evidence he isn't a good choice as a coach is bs. To say his lack of coacing experience "might" lead to him struggling BEFORE the results are in is called "hating" in my book.
hating
To engage in ridicule and mockery for amusement, synonym: "to Phil"
Phil has a PhD in hating; he studied under Dr. James Hatesmith, a pioneer in the field of haterology.
hating
jealousy and anger rolled up in one
Tom was hating on Tim because Tim was given a promotion that Tom thought he deserved.
Hating
Hating is the end result of being a hater. Hating is wide spread, very popular and a highly enjoyable past time for many. Contrary to popular belief, Hating is not due to jealousy bur rather the good feeling of putting someone down while simultaneously increasing your own ego. Many victims are hated on because of their success, but many more are hated due to their lack of it. Most hating is a result of the victims bragging and/or 'My turds don't stink' attitude.
As far as race goes (don't know how that's relevant) I can see how some feel the intolerance might be based on race, I don't feel the same but I will say...
There is plenty of historic evidence that this not only might play a part, but many would rather turn a blind eye.
Isn't that the case?
