Do people hate on pros so much. If it's not one thing it's another. They're what we're all here on newschoolers to see. They're what make the sport what it is, yet we talk shit about them all the time. I just think it's funny.

What do you guys think?

because some shitheads think that it makes them cool to say shit about pros, and pretty much everybody thinks that they are the pros trainer so they have to criticize

people hate on them because they represent our sport... if there was a "footballers.com" i garentee that Terrel Owens would get just as much shit as any pro skier does here. Its just that people hate to see guys with huge amounts of talent and promise, that most skiers dont have, act so unprofessional sometimes. We give the pros everything they have by supporting thier sponsers and contests, I dont think theres anything wrong with letting pros know that people in thier own sport dont agree with some of the things they do or say.

everyone has their own opinions, and everyone is different, therefore not everyone likes the same thing, which means people like different things than each other and then express their opinions. like the logic?

I don't think everyone is on NS to see/read news about pros. I'm not.

Ya this is true but a lot of times it just seems like its some little kid that thinks it makes him bad ass. I understand when its more like constructive but when they are just talking shit is a waste of time

I think the question you should be asking is "Why not?"

exactly.

Some of what people classify as hate isn't, it'd just opinion anyways.

it's fine if your views don't fall in line with those of others, and it's fine to talk about it.

Why do magazines and TV shows exist that tell you why Jennifer Anniston is at a beach with her husband?  Why do millions of people care that Lindsay Johan got a speeding ticket? 

Modern societies just have this obsession with pop culture and famous people... it's fucking stupid.
