I second this motion: "Shut it assduck!"
But for real? Are we really going to dive into this on yet another thread?
Listen. I know that Alberto isn't everyone's favorite flavor anymore, mostly because he got left out in the sun and spoiled. But don't we hate him for reasons other than how he acted at nationals? His conduct was clearly very un-becoming as a coach of his stature. But I dislike salazar purely because of his 'win at all costs, use every advantage, if it's not illegal it's legal' attitude. And his use of clout to get what he wants. Who's really competing here? Alberto, or his athletes? I feel like he's that parent who's trying to live through their kids.
Consequently, not to choose a side, I really like the Schumacher boys. Mainly because I grew up and competed while Derrick and Jager were in high schools only 45min away from me. I like them, (Derrick mostly) because they were once like me, and through their hard work, they got better. That's my dream. To be a world-class athlete. And they are proof that it can happen, if I try my best and work my hardest.
But do I hate Salazar? Do I want to cut him up into tiny pieces, sew him back together, and feed him to piranhas? No!
At the same time, I'm not about to kiss the ground that shumacher is walking over. Having this much petty, base hatred for people isn't a good look.
