It just seems like people simply love to hate and look for any opportunity and excuse to express that hate.
The posts on Arenado are cruel; it is like people have no respect or honor.
Always remember that baseball players have families that read the posts and are affected. The player can take it but think about the children. Think, people, before you post.

I know this will be blown off my many, some will think it funny and post hateful posts in this very thread. The first response to a post is always some wise-[ash] remark.

Life is short and meant to be enjoyed and productive.

One day you will regret remarks that tear people down rather than build them up.

The older generation knows grew up believing that if you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all.

Better that people think you are a nice person than prove you are not.

Whatever, I'm sure this is just going to be laughed off by most of you.

Older folks don’t have a monopoly on virtue.

+1... several of the older posters are the most angry and judgemental...they should chill.. this is a [fork]ing anonymous site...you would think they would be relaxed and enjoy their senior years.

Many of us called out the owners and management for hurting the franchise- no way to put a positive spin on that. They did not just make mistakes- they openly insulted the fan base. Now they are Finding Out.

Players used to go into the stands and brawl with fans who were taunting them Roger Maris hair started falling out because of the hate he got from his own fans because they wanted mantle to break the HR record not him and don’t get me started on what Jackie Robinson and a lot of the black players went through. Yea the older generations just as bad or worse they just didn’t have the internet. People have been the same through all of history hating killing being jerks there’s never been a we were nice and respectful generation
