For every one person that you actually see say something good about the new trophy, there’s about 30 people that say it looks ugly. Half of them compare it to a female lady part.
That’s about the norm for anything new that’s introduced in the world of Twitter.
Here is the public reaction to the College Football Playoff trophy.

I don’t really understand how so many people can develop hatred toward something like this. My vote goes simply goes toward a big waste of time in changing the trophy anyway, not to mention one that’s 35 pounds of 24-karat gold.
But it’s surprising to see the amount of people that actually hate this thing. What are your thoughts on the trophy?
