Thats called jealousy

Jealousy? Guys, I think you should remove sticks from your butts, because you are much too stiff

Do you know the story of Eddie The Eagle? He was one of the worst ski-jumpers in the history of the sport. He was a laughing stock at every ski jump competition he went to. Do you think people were laughing at him because they were jealous?! Or that the comedy about him was filmed because the director and the scriptwriter were jealous?!

Now, which one of all Rally1 drivers reminds you of Eddie?

[Sulland]

Or Greek rally fan who just enjoys his hobby and sponsors young drivers to improve their career, even by sharing with them his almost 1-million worth Ford Puma.

Good, who is he sponsoring this year?

[Jarek Z]

Good, who is he sponsoring this year?

I think it is Munster, not sure though.

honestly? yes! maybe more envious than jealous, actually.
people laughed because they saw someone like them or even worse do it, and get frustrated because he had the possibilities (and the balls) to get there. a classic reaction is to diminish that people. when that kind of person feels lesser they try to gain importance through belittling others. the film is the same, they were sure it would stir reactions out of frustrated people, which definitely worked.

I think it is Munster, not sure though.

Correct

“And, of course, it further aligns him with Jourdan Serderidis – a personal backer of Munster’s – which is particularly key as Serderidis is at the heart of Munster’s potential Rally1 chance this year.”

Maybe you are a better psychologist than me, but something in your theory doesn't work. Are you suggesting that everybody in Great Britain wanted to be a ski jumper and they were jealous that it was Eddie who made it? I don't think so. It's a niche sport. It's quire popular in Poland, but for sure not in the UK (and most other countries in the world) where nobody cares about it.

If someone doesn't like a movie, it doesn't mean they are jealous of the director.
If someone doesn't like a record, it doesn't mean they are jealous of the saxophonist.
If someone doesn't like Serderidi's driving, it doesn't mean they are jealous of his car

[Kenneth]

Also people here are looking at Serderidis thinking they would do better, while in fact they would destroy the car in the first corner

well yeah, i was not being so literal. it's not really about a specific sport, is more about the general human way of feeling good being superior to someone else, and i'm not speaking of a general "everyone", but more about the very fed up.

you're right, sometimes dislike s just dislike, but dislike alone is effortless!
when someone dislikes something, a tune, a movie, a car, they just pass over onto other stuff and don't care that much about it.
when it becomes a constant thread, escalates to insults, when is depicted as a problem to the very integrity of the system (like as if a bad movie could ruin the art of cinema...), and when is demanded to the governing body to amend its presence, well, it probably is something more "visceral" than dislike.

anyway, my poor psychology will not affect it, "haters gonna hate" they say! : )

p.s= not so sure about this "If someone doesn't like Serderidi's driving, it doesn't mean they are jealous of his car " here around. i'm jealous of that car!

I'm not. But... had he driven a Lancia Delta, it would have been a different story
