That's life. If he didn't want to receive hate, he shouldn't have done something offensive.
Is it offensive to me? No. But it's offensive to some people and that's all that matters.

There are lots of players who do and say things that are offensive. I get taunting underperforming players. It's bizarre to me to taunt a player who's a big part of helping you win. It's one thing to disagree. But people were talking shit to him to his face. For years I've supported terrible people who've done things a million times worse than this, as long as they help our team win. I've never seen fans turn like this on a player of this calibre for something totally unrelated to play on the field. You know why you see less of this in Philly? Because if a fan in the front row talked shit to one of their best players, there'd be another fan sitting next to him that would beat the ever living shit out of him.
