Is there a Professional athlete who is liked by everyone??

keets · October 19, 2019 7:39AM

It seems that whatever Professional athlete is mentioned here, someone or some small group of forum members really dislikes that athlete. Is there anyone that everyone likes??

Pet Rose is actually the genesis of this thread.

my Son called me from Las Vegas last night, said he was in a casino and saw a sign about the "Hit King" so he went looking for him. while we were talking he found him!!!

BTW, past experience tells me that there are plenty here who dislike Petey.

Derek Jeter?

I needed a Emoji for "tongue in cheek".... Like him or not he was a great player. Eight of him and Five Bob Gibson's could beat anyone. Might need Bench as Catcher.

I'll probably regret asking this, but what does "FTW" mean?

For the win , in this context it means , might as well lock the thread I won

if Dimeets K Startlebronc was a pro athlete there's no doubt in my mind he would be universally beloved

perkdog · October 19, 2019 12:25PM

Jorge Posada, Larry Fitzgerald, JJ Watt

keets · October 19, 2019 12:26PM

perhaps universally loathed, but definitely not loved.

Bobby Orr. Read the stuff he has done off the ice and you have no choice but to like him.

How about Jim Thome. He seems like a nice man.

Coinstartled · October 19, 2019 1:27PM

Before twitter it was easy to like a lot of athletes. now we see what putzes most of them are.

keets · October 19, 2019 9:24PM

I think I should add Jose Altuve to the list. this guy is 5'6" and a buck sixty-five soaking wet, yet he plays arguably better than Aaron Judge who makes him look like a child!! the guy is remarkable and lovable.

Coinstartled · October 19, 2019 9:36PM

It was hard not to like Tom Landry.

Not quite as universally loved as you might think. Been accused of being a hyprocite, having racial quotas, and a whole lot more.

Tabe · October 20, 2019 2:54AM

Former Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom. The guy's nickname is "The Perfect Human", fer cryin' out loud. Universally respected and liked.

galaxy27 · October 20, 2019 5:21AM

Drew Brees

I find Jeter extremely unlikeable. I think he was an excellent player (though overrated by Yankees fans) and fun to watch most of the time, but his demeanor has always turned me off big time.

That's all a bunch of rubbish!

Well I guess it is Gene Tenace then.

Strongly agree with grote.
My Dad's favorite player and the favorite player of a lot of midwestern baseball fan's
of his generation.

jay0791 · October 20, 2019 10:37AM

Strongly agree on Musial as well

Brooks Robinson
Bob Feller

never ever heard anything but super nice

Richard Petty for the racing fans

I agree with all of those.

Bob, the world champion water skiing squirrel. He is beloved. He also was the highest paid water skiing squirrel with a contract of 10 million pounds of nuts. He is now retired and resides in a nice three story tree in Malibu.

Coinstartled · October 20, 2019 1:37PM

I will add HOF Tiger Allan Trammell to the list.

Jack Morris, I will not.

I'm going to keep posting this until it receives at least 1 "Agree" or "Like" - i'll post it here over 10,000 times if necessary.

Coinstartled · October 20, 2019 2:08PM

Great choice, Steve!

Is there a Professional athlete who is liked by everyone??
