In this thread you will list who you actively root against.

Here it is, the hatah thread. Tell me who you root against, who you wish failure upon, individual or team let's see it!


Here's my list:

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
NYY
Alex Fraudriguez
Barry Lamar Bonds
Mark Cuban
Jorts Nation
Ray Lewis (pretty much all the Baltimore Ravens)
Pittsburgh Stillers
Serena Williams (but not Venus)
Soccer. The entire sport.
Figure skating. Ditto.
Dallas Cowboys (somewhat)
Tiger Woods (somewhat, I appreciate what he does but it's a giant bore to see him win all the time)
Michael Vick


I'm sure there's more but that's all for now.

    I'm sure there's more but that's all for now.

    There are some people I don't care for in general:


    Mark Cuban - a raging out of control ego with the emotional maturity of about a 12 year old.
    Bonds - what more needs to be said?
    Michael Vick - ditto
    Tiger Woods - I can appreciate his talent but he comes off as a bit too full of himself.

    Soccer - the hardcore borish "fans" that think Americans are insane for not falling in love with the sport and proceed to get sarcastic
    about it. I'm simply not interested in soccer, get over it and move on.

    Rocket is like an ex-girlfriend or ex-wife. Our time was wonderful for a period, but eventually, it all came to an ugly end.

    I don't want to root against him. I just want him to disappear and get the F out of my life.

    The Dallas Cowboys owner, management, coaches, players, trainers, grounds crew, concession stand workers, parking lot attendants, and all their families including their pet dogs, cats, parrots, hamsters, turtles, guppies, goldfish and anything else associated in any way, shape or form with the Dallas Cowboys.

    Note that once anyone retires or is no longer affiliated with the Dallas Cowboys then they are exonerated. For example Emmitt is now retired so he has been exonerated. Another example is say Jerry Jones pet dog runs away and finds a new pet owner somewhere else, then that dog is exonerated.

    Also note that even if a Dallas Cowboys owner sells the team, that person never gets exonerated.

  • << <i>What have you got against Gonzaga? Everybody's supposed to love Gonzaga, dang it! >>



    And that's part of the reason I dislike them; they're the Boise State of basketball. Mediocre talent still equals a spot in the tournament bid when you play in a conference of turds.

    The 05-06 Championship was a total crock. I've never seen as many one-sided calls outside of Cameron Indoor as I did that game. Gonzaga was favored by 16, and won by 1... well at least on paper. Morrison balled tears like a girl, and we got to hear about how great they are for beating a garbage team by 1 point. And yes, I had the Loyola Marymount ML: $100 risked to win $900 image
