Any reason for the use of the word "Hate" on this site?

After being here a few weeks, I have noticed that some fans refer to others as "Dak haters"
"Jerry Jones haters" etc..
Definition of 'Hate" An intense and passionate dislike for someone...
Now I have an opinion based on what I have seen from Dak Prescott the last few years, both in big games and on the road vs some of the "better" teams. But personally, I don't really know the man, have never met him, so how can I or anyone else here be a "Dak hater??"
Jerry Jones, I think he loves his team, maybe too much, he did say he would be a "hands on owner" early on, so I live with it as I am a true and loyal Cowboy's fan and have been since the Staubach, Landry era.
So please, I do know sports fans can be passionate, but it should also be a fun thing. It takes many of us away from some of daily life's problems, gives you to hope for something. In these days we see how much we all miss the game we love. So for now put away the hate..

Replace “hater” with “not fond of” in your mind and you’ll be good to go.

Opposing viewpoints makes a forum, or any type of discussion interesting. If everyone had the same viewpoint on everything no one would debate/discuss.

One guy might think Zeke is overpaid and should be traded so he is a “Zeke hater,” that does not mean he wants any harm on Zeke.

We've got fans starting threads saying we should let Dak walk for nothing just because they dislike him personally and want to spite him or shame him, at the expense of the high draft picks he's actually worth if you want to part ways with him in a reasonable, smart way.

Maybe internet hate is different than real-world hate, so the use of "hate" is harsh. But they certainly have an irrational disliking for him for personal reasons which they have become so obsessed and consumed with, it's ruined their ability to follow the sport in a healthy way or to have healthy thought processes about the players.

Great post, probably knew you'd get responses from the Hat...I mean, Dislikers, on this board. Too much hate other places in the world to be hating in sports.

I think the term "hate" is thrown around here but it's not true hate like say the hate most had for the WTC hijackers, or Hitler, or other hideous creatures.

You may be new here and the terminology "Dak hater" may offend you. Don't be ... it simply means some here prefer he not be the Cowboy starting QB or think he ain't got the "goods". It's not true hate. Just terminology.

I think you know this and I shouldn't have to explain it to you. Toughen up.

Been a Cowboy fan since the Meredith/Landry era.

Hate to break it to you but "hate" doesn't actually mean "hate" in a hate sense, if you get my drift. But I do hate drifts .... and Rowdy.
True, but it seems that the ones who are extremely high on a particular player use the word "hate" in the literal sense, in order to shame or discredit those who don't find that player to be great.

Turn it around. Call him Qak and watch the steam rise from their foreheads!

There's one guy in particular you need to take this up with.

The thought police is alive and well in our culture, but good luck enforcing it on a fan messageboard.
