"Bullying..." Sigh, it is such an overused / misused word. It is abused to the point of losing meaning, and "devaluing" the real instances of bullying. When, as a society, a football team is accused of bullying for putting in 3rd stringers and still beating down a team, the word has become meaningless; football is competition, and in competition, you sometimes lose badly (think, in this case, how the winning team would *also* have been accused of bullying and shaming the other team if they had completely stopped playing - taken a knee, intentionally fumbled, whatever, instead of continuing to compete, albeit at a lesser degree with 3rd stringers).
Bullying, when it *actually* occurs, implies a true power imbalance and the ability to direct another's actions through your aggressive use of your position of power.
Stop abusing the word bully....stop bullying the word, if you will. It's boring. It's trite. It diminishes the effectiveness of the claim when the real act occurs.
