An 0-3 start usually isn’t the right time to address one’s haters, but Le’Veon Bell is taking an nontraditional approach.
Bell’s New York Jets lost 30-14 to the New England Patriots on Sunday, and they weren’t particularly competitive doing it. The Jets are riding third-string quarterback Luke Falk right now, and due to injuries and roster construction, there isn’t a ton of talent on the field right now.
Bell, however, says he and his teammates are paying attention to the critics — and suggesting that when things turn around, they’ll have to own up to it.
all you haters, enjoy it for now..just don’t go casper when all this gets turned around..we embrace adversity, we embrace the hate, and everyone that wants to see my team fail, or me fail individually, I’ll remember, we’ll remember it ALL, & use it, & wear it as a badge of honor!

This is definitely a rebuilding year for the Jets. They’re not going to win many games and they’re still trying to get the pieces in place for long-term contention. Bell probably knows that. He should just make sure none of his teammates count among the Jet haters.
