Appreciate that you see yourselves as neutral but it really doesn't come across that way.
Having said that, Patrick's post is totally on point. Don't disagree with any of that at all. He would certainly be eaten alive in a country where football is the be all and end all.
Also, I used the term "Hudson Haters" because it alliterates nicely, and "haters" is common in the modern lexicon e.g. "hating on someone". I think in that definition you guys are definitely "hating on him", despite not actually HATING him, if that makes any sense at all... probably not! Using the term dislike in the sentence after that was probably more accurate.
