I could see where they are coming from, because athletes are often put on a pedestal and so many begin that they are human too. They just so happen to be talented in a certain sport/sporting event and that is a gift that they have no control over. Some athletes feel unwelcome and tend to only surround themselves with other athletes, because they feel as though they are out casted and judged. I think people stand back and hate from a distance and fail to realize that words do hurt and these athletes already go through a lot
