In our current social media-driven landscape, people put forth their opinions. Not every view is welcome. Some opinions may offend people. And then there are times when a post on social media doesn't come off as very kind.

A mom spending time watching her son at soccer practice found herself the subject of a "shaming" social media post. The mom didn't take the abuse though.

Erin Oprea wasn't in the habit of passively watching her son at soccer practice. Erin would take a few steps away from the field and jump rope on the concrete. She felt this kept her from becoming too enthusiastic during practice. Sometimes, eager parents undermine coaches. Plus, Erin could get her exercise sessions done during the training time.

A dad at the practice session took a picture of Erin and posted the image on social media. Comments accompanying the photo weren't flattering. The commentary suggested that Erin only jumped rope to gain attention to herself. What motivated this man to make such a post on social media is unknown. We do know Erin wasn't too thrilled with the comments he made.

Erin made the incident a public matter. It turns out that Erin is the personal trainer of Carrie Underwood. With such a top celebrity client, Erin caught a lot of people's attention when she responded to the criticism. Erin even appeared on a television show to give a response. Carrie Underwood even went public with her comments about the posting.
