I agree with what your friend wrote...
but there will always be people who don't agree with you and don't like you for good or bad reasons. There will be posters who are respectful and thoughtful and others who will be outspokened and even jerks. That is human nature. Coaches and AD's and any one else who is a professional, should be thick skinned. It would be wise for coaches and athletes to not read message boards. With social media, even athletes and coaches can say stupid or even hurtful things. I'm sure that a wise coach will tell their players to stay away from the message boards and think twice before saying something or showing a photo on social media. It is only natural for humans to want to be liked and even loved by everyone but in reality there will always be some people who just won't like you. I think it is more difficult for 18-22 year olds to realize this than older folks.
