Barangay Ginebra’s Jeth Troy Rosario recently surprised fans with a bold response to online criticism after the Gin Kings' narrow 91-86 loss to the TNT Tropang Giga. A screenshot posted on the Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Facebook page captured Rosario replying to a netizen’s taunt.
“Iyak Jeth Troy Rosario,” wrote the critic, mocking the forward after the game.
Rosario shot back, “Bakit ako iiyak? Ganda naman ng sahod ko at ng team ko. Ikaw ba? You win some, you lose some!” The response, though blunt, highlighted Rosario's confidence in his current situation as a Gin King, both financially and professionally.
The fiery exchange comes as a surprise to many fans, given Rosario’s typically calm demeanor both on and off the court. In his first season with Ginebra, Rosario has been making waves, contributing 16 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and one assist during the hard-fought game against his former team, TNT.
This sudden aggressiveness on social media could indicate a shift in Rosario’s outlook. Whether it’s newfound pride in his role with Ginebra or frustration boiling over, this is a rare moment of boldness from the typically reserved forward. Rosario’s response reveals a player more vocal and perhaps more sensitive to public perception than before—a stark contrast to the usual silence from professional athletes when dealing with online critics.
While it’s good to see Rosario standing up for himself, fans can only wonder if this increased assertiveness signals a rise in pride or simply a moment of uncharacteristic emotion. One thing is for sure: Troy Rosario isn’t letting anyone question his worth, both as a player and a professional.
