And this is why I follow very few people on social media. I even cleaned out and unfollowed coaches and kids that I actually do KNOW personally several weeks ago so it's a crazy limited list now. It makes for post big-competition social media much less dramatic....although even in my limited view I saw people being salty last night about cp16 (and calling out his team) getting paid when they "finished 9th." It's whatever, some people just feel the need to be rude/ugly about everything. And I'm not saying I didn't have some response to them, I certainly did, but I didn't post it online :)
It's called restraint. Unfortunately most teenagers don't have a lot of it and social media is their outlet to vomit every thought they have upon the world.
Most of my best responses sadly go to the "delete" pile before being sent.
It can be incredibly tough not to defend your own team and athletes when someone is snarky about them online.
