[Forbes] America's Most Disliked Athletes

ADULTERER AND LIAR - Yeah, there's probably 50% to 80% of athletes who cheat on their wives/girlfriends, and lie about it (or other stuff). Yes, I am going to pretend no other athlete has ever done what Tiger did.

What about John Lackey? (Divorcing his wife who has cancer and has another girlfriend)

There have been players who have gotten caught with gambling, lying about performance enhancing usage, beaten spouses or a girl in a club, gotten caught with groupies, random women, jumpoffs, underage girls, and transsexuals.

Yet, most people do not hate them for whatever reason. You know most people do engage in cheating on their spouses and lie about. What is so special about Tiger Woods to cause dislike in that arena?

GENERAL DUMBAZZ - Yet, is he dumbest player in professional sports or the only dumb@ss guy making millions from catching a throwing a ball around.

Javale McGee has done some really dumb things over the last few weeks, people don't dislike him. I am not going to accuse too many athletes of being great thinkers, and if they aren't why would you hold that against him.


DIRTY STOMPER AND LIAR - He's the only player in NFL history who has stomp an opposing player or made some very dirty plays across the field. What is it about being a liar, I'm pretty you are honest Abe, yourself?

STAR F'ER - Dwyane Wade, Tony Romo, Carlos Boozer, Nick Young, Tom Brady, Matt Kemp, Tony Parker, Jason Kidd, and probably good proportion of athletes. Your point being.

SELF ABSORBED DEWSH - To be honest, aren't most athletes, especially the best ones. Do you think he is anywhere as bad as Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal, Pete Maravich, or Allen Iverson? Just admit you dislike the guy.

RAPIST + SELF ABSORBED DEWSH - Allegedly .... allegedly a rapist. Roethlisberger had two alleged cases, recently and those have died down in public. Why are you bringing up something that was solved years ago, especially when the girl's credibility was also in question.

FLAMBOYANT ARROGANT CLOWN - Not an active player, while what has done wrong to anyone off the field.

 

*fixed*

Speaking of which, Karl Malone lies, too and throws his former organization under the bus, and intentionally tried to hurt players in his playing days. Made some rather ignorant comments about Magic.


That list above yours doesn't cut it for clutch fans. Lebron has his haters, but the majority doesn't dislike Favre, Nadal, or Garnett.

 

Are you a race-baiting troll with not so colorful skin?

It's completely irrelevant to my posts and this thread. Most of all, your points are very hypocritical and lacking a real basis.

 

If you are going to quote me, you should do it properly and not take my words out of context, as they tell students in school. If you are going to accuse me of something, it should be for something that I actually wrote. Because, that might make you a bonafide liar. I wouldn't want anyone label you as a liar, since you consider yourself to be reputable person.

Moreover, those reasons for disliking someone are pretty weak and lacking context, like most of your misguided posts. I have no reason to muddy up the water.

For the most part, most of these guys are not criminals, except Michael Vick. Yet, I specifically said there's no reason for me dislike anyone on that list, REGARDLESS OF their skin color, like any other athlete. Most of them seem or act like normal guys, which I really do not know if that is a good thing or bad thing. My biggest point again, even as people dislike them for their arrogance, mischievous behavior when it comes to women, and possessing a hint of narcissism or flamboyance, don't most athletes have some of those qualities and they are not hated?

Moreover, I could not care less about who people dislike, whether you dislike them for having too many tattoos, being arrogant, or because they're a "porch monkey." If you dislike an athlete so much, you have type in all caps to point out there flaws. That is something that bothers you, not me. One comforting fact for most of these guys is that their fans and people who spend money to watch their games outweigh those who hate the person with such a displaced passion. They are all millionaires who will have their selection of beautiful women and homes, you could only dream of. So, there's really no point in hating an athlete on that level, especially for a grown man, because I would say those would be displaying feminine characteristics of petty jealousy and latent insecurity.

 

I cannot put my finger on it, as Americans are just weird bunch of people.
