The hate that people have for the Patriots is eerily similar to the hate people have for Alabama, and the reason is simple, mediocre people hate winners.

There’s are good reason why people seem to hate the Patriots and Alabama, it’s because they are winners. If you’re a fan of a mediocre team like the Tennessee Volunteers or the Tennessee Titans you hate to see a team full of winners like the New England Patriots or the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Check out some of the hate the Pats are getting online today and see if it looks familiar to you.

Isn’t this what everyone says about Alabama every single year?

Just like fans are always “sick” of Alabama.

This is a classic Twitter joke and it’s been done about Alabama for years.

All your fans are bandwagon fans, yeah that’s not something Bama fans hear every single year is it?

I haven’t heard “sick of Alabama in the playoffs” since several weeks ago.

Oh they are cheaters, yep this is just like they oversigning nonsense. If you can’t beat them find something to complain about…

Remember how every single Atlanta Journal Constitution sports story used to be about oversinging?

When do you know that are you mad online? WHEN YOU ARE USING ALL CAPS!

And the grudging hate respect for the legendary coach, we’ve all seen that.

Careful about wanting the big dog, it doesn’t always work out.

The fact is that teams like the New England Patriots, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the New York Yankees will always be hated, because they are high achievers that win and build dynasties. Fans of mediocre teams will never be able to handle that, it’s certianly why there’s so much Bama and Nick Saban hate.

Patriots or Falcons though, no matter who wins the Super Bowl it’s going to end up with Alabama players winning the big game. When you’re built by Bama you’re destined for greatness.

NEXT: Saban for President!
