A lot of the negativity is not vile at all. And much of the blowback is warranted due to the way the situation was handled by both the organization and Berry, himself. But you insist on lumping all criticism of Berry and the way he has handled this situation into a single category of "Berry Bashers."
If teams don't play for the fans who do they play for? And in this instance, the fans have been strung along and left out of the loop in a way that seems a tad inconsiderate. And whether it is accurate or not, Berry's conduct post-cancer diagnosis has come across as selfish and unappreciative of the way the organization and fans stood by him during his recovery.
