"don't hate the playa, hate the game"? nah. playing dirty is a form of cheating.

how about "don't idolize or admire people who play dirty or aspire to and try to drag everything into the muck in order to justify or cover up their own dirty play"?

cheaters only cheat because they know they're too mediocre to ever succeed legitimately.

it's kinda like "i thought i was so bad at everything that the only way i thought i could succeed was to repackage nicotine with candy flavors and sell it to children"
