Honestly, aren't we just jealous of their success? I can't stand seeing all the giant script A stickers everywhere. I can't stand seeing top recruits from Tennessee wearing bama gear and signing with them. We want what they have, so we hate them.
Did we hate the Nazis because they were awesome Olympic hosts and cornered the Zyklon B spa market?
Did we hate the Japanese and Mao because
we wanted to whack those 100M Chinese?
Stalin because he fooked up communism for the rest of us?
Baby-eating vampires because "damn!...why didn't I think to serve those for game day hors d'oeuvres?"
The coyote who ate Sparky because we had been fattening him up for Thanksgiving?
Child pornographers because of their command of the 2/3rds rule of subject composition?
Jeffery Dahmer because we all want a private harem of lobotomized, homosexual zombies who double as pizza toppings?
Some things are simply worth hating. Indeed, some abominations, aberrations, and grotesqueries God simply puts here to remind us it's not all loaves and fishes. To remind us to recoil in horror at the animated sacks of wicked meat sprinkled among us.
Lot's wife looked back at biblical Tuscaloosa; true story.
No, there's some things we don't want. Having 666 tatooed on our collective necks and a team named for menstrual cycles/tidal algae blooms/Commie submarines is #1 on that list.
"Faith, hope, and hating Alabama.
And the greatest of these is hating Alabama."
Genesis 1:0 and Revelation 22:22
We hate Alabama because God instilled that primordial aversion in us.
We do his work.
Amen.
