Player hating is a pop culture term that describes someone's obvious irritation with another's success. A player-hater is a person who is jealous of what others have and is not shy about it.
The player hater is jealous of the "player's" "game". It most likely originates from the phrase "Don't hate the player, hate the game.", usually told by players to the hater in question.
An extensive exercise in how the term is used can be seen in the "Player Hater's Ball" routine from Episode 8, Season 1 of the Chapelle's Show. Dave Chapelle's character, Silky Johnson, explains his winning Player Hater philosophy: "I want to thank God Almighty for giving you so much and me so little."
