<< <i>If winning is not important, why keep score? >>


stats

so hof voters can refer to something when they decide not to vote for a deserving player

$$$

so arbitrators can refer to something when deciding to rule in favor of a player instead of a team

Although not atheletes, I hate the writers of the BBWAA who submit empty ballots or vote for obvious choices of cantidates who have no business of getting into the HOF. And then there are those writers who don't vote for the very obvious choices.

Oh, and another non-athelete (or two)...........Scott Boras, Donald Fehr and of course Bud Selig.

As for the original question:

Bonds
A-Fraud
Sheffield
Clemens
Canseco
Posada
Damon
Bradley
And any athelete who thinks they are bigger than the game/sport that made them who/what they are.
T.O. & A.I. come to mind.

It's funny as I look a these lists they are mostly really good players at their sport. I guess most of them have taken part in beating your teams. Hence the hatred.

That's why a lot of people hate the Cowboys. Because they hold the record for records in football!

I mean Jeter was on every list and he is one of the best ever. He could break Rose's record for hits. But he plays for the Yankee's and they have probably thumped everyones team at one time or another. Hence the hatred.

I will agree with John Starks. He was dirty and not that good. I still remember him tripping Jordan because he couldn't play him straight and just wanted to hurt him.

I will have disagree with Rodman. He was a great defensive player and rebounder. Don't care for his cross dressing!

Johnny Gomes >>








Given his career, that's actually pretty impressive he's included with some other great players.




Edit: Can't really say I hate any teams or players.

ANY so called athlete in any sport that is earning a 6-7 figure salary FOR PLAYING A GAME! Let's see them go out into the real world (not sports broadcasting) and get a real job like the rest of us.

Narrowing the field down a little:

Patrick "DUH" Ewing (I make alot of money but I spend alot of money) arrogant prik............
Michael Irvin
Keyshawn Johnson
All 3 are nominated for their complete inability to speak a fluent sentence without resorting to ebonics.

Dan Dierdorf for still being an NFL announcer, god I hate listening to this guy call a game while spitting (literally) every word.

Steven A. Smith for just being the most annoying screamer ever to grace the airwaves or television. Thank god ESPN canned his ass!

Mercury10c

Ray Allen? How do you hate Ray Allen? That's like hating Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny.

Mickey71

Pat Gillick- let the Mariners fall apart

Thanks ESPN, now i have to listen to this douchebag during my morning commute. It has let me get back in touch with my 80s and 90s heavy metal CD collection though. Just listened to some Angel Dust, Alastis and Amorphis last week (going aphabetically as thats how I store my collection). Next week BOLT THROWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steven A, brings everything back to race even though he says he doesn't, he is much worse in that regard than Jason Whitlock. Also Steven A continuously has to tell you how smart and good he is and Whitlock at least has a little humility.
