Hanna Cavinder was fired up.
The Miami Hurricanes guard went off on internet trolls Monday, stating she was sick to her stomach over those who post negative comments about people’s appearance and weight.
“OK, I’m just gonna get this off my chest because this s–t is just literally fires me up and annoys me so much about social media and society nowadays,” Cavinder, 23, said in a TikTok video — two days after her boyfriend, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, and the No. 2 Bulldogs lost to No. 4 Alabama on Saturday, 41-34.
“I don’t understand why viewers or fans or whatever it is get satisfaction of commenting on a person or athletes’ looks on social media — or roasting them and thinking it’s just OK to comment about what they look like, come at them, tear them down like these people aren’t human beings.
“It’s actually sickening nowadays how society can just, you know, we turn a blind eye to someone’s comments about what a person looks like online. And it’s just sickening that people all get satisfaction of humiliating someone about their looks.
“It just doesn’t sit right with me. It makes me sick to my stomach that people can just got out of their way to comment on anyone’s looks anonymous or literally with not even a burner account and be like, ‘Oh this person’s ugly,’ or commenting on someone’s weight – whatever it is.
“I mean, I get it all the time and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous how people can go out of their way and do that. And it just fires me up, so I’m gonna get on here and tell you guys, if you have anything not nice to say to a person, maybe shut up and don’t say one word because it affects people’s lives. We’re all human beings and we all look at our comments. Grow up.
“And who raised these people is my question. I would never have the nerve to go comment on what a female looks like, what a male looks like on social media and be OK with myself… I don’t understand how you were raised to do that and feel OK to do that as a human being to a human being.
“I think it is sick and I’m going to choose to rant about it today. But anyways, have a good Monday… because if people are commenting about you and your looks, how would you feel about it every single day.”
She captioned her post, “Quick rant 4 yall.”
Cavinder did not clarify whether her rant stemmed from remarks about her or someone else.
Some people posted negative comments about Beck while others shared supportive messages and applauded her for speaking out.
“Jealous people,” her sister, Brooke Cavinder, wrote.
Beck, a senior at Georgia, went 27-for-50 against the Crimson Tide on Saturday, throwing 439 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.
The Bulldogs visit Auburn next Saturday.
