Wrong word, sports

It would be nice if sports writers would refrain from using the word “hate” as they do. It seems we are supposed to hate every school that defeats the University of Kentucky. North Carolina, Duke, Louisville are schools we are supposed to “hate.”

There is enough hate in the world and on college campuses especially, so get your thesaurus and try to come up with a better word.
