For most it started in kindergarten and flourished in grade school. Old habits die hard.
Most Americans seem to be haters. The higher up someone gets, the more everyone wants to see them fall. Instead of getting fired and burned to the ground, Pete saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship to a NFL franchise that paid him really good money, then he righted the ship and is enjoying success pretty quickly. If you disliked Pete, or were jealous, or whatever....that's really gotta get under your skin.
And for your 2nd post Kearly, I totally agree, and was going to comment something similar. If USC had found a good coach to take over after Pete left, a lot of the angst and anger would already be gone.
