The Poster (RipCity) said the above to which you replied:
GlastonTim said:
"Don’t quite understand the hate."
To which I said:
"So, using your apparent definition, when DH and the staff have honest discussions with each player about how they fit with the team's makeup and goals for next year it's hateful to outline their shortcomings that, left uncorrected, will limit a player's time on the floor and their ability to help the team?
My response to your question?
It's an analogy. If you felt RipCity's comment was an example of hate then you would likely believe the coaching staff giving a player an honest opinion of their shortcomings would be hateful (hate in your opinion).
