Forbes releases list of most hated sports figures for 2010

Michael Vick did jailtime for torturing dogs. He is #1 on the list. Big Ben probably committed a crime (twice, actually), but probably ain't the same as getting convicted. Tiger is a lying whore who threw away a billion basically. He's worthy of being on the list.

I think they nailed the list and the order too...

The fact that Mark McGwire is on the list instead of Barry Bonds makes it a total joke in my book.

Big Mac was a complete joke. Both of them are going to be left out of the Hall and that's good enough for me.
 
I think we have to much time on our hands. They are people as far as I know no more special to me than the guy that lives next door.
 
'The American Dream' consists of getting married, buying a house, starting a family, taking vacations..etc. Most men/women have to have "real" jobs in order to live the 'Dream.' Tiger gets his 'American Dream' 1000 times over but he decided fucking many women who weren't his wife was more important :dunno:

He would not be hated if he was single. Bottomline.

Yeah? Ben Roethlisberger was accused of rape. Twice. Has the guy next door to you met the same charges? If so, consider moving.

Michael Vick ran a dog fighting ring and killed some of the animals by drowning them or slamming them into the ground. Does your neighbor do that?

Some of these fucks are truly despicable people and that's why they're on this list. They aren't "guy next door" types. They're assholes with too much money who think they have a license to do whatever they want.
 
I think Allen Iverson is irrelevant in 2010..hell, he hasn't done much of anything since 2004, right? :dunno:

I'd probably kick him off the list and put...Pete Carroll in his place :yesyes::thefinger

^^ What about Carrol's replacement? I've never met anyone, anywhere who liked Lane Kiffin.

It's funny you said that because I listed him too originally, but erased that part of my OP. Guy seems like a dick. Wouldn't doubt it if half the NCAA coaches aren't buying all kinds of shit for their recruits. :cool:
 
Dante Stallworth made a mistake (name any other time he's been negatively in the news?)

Michael Vick arranged for dogs to eat each others' faces, he elotrocuted them, drown them, and tied them to rape stands. All intentionally, in a covert location out in the woods, with equally scum of the earth types betting on it.

How the fuck can you retards even remotely compare the two guys in the same discussion?

Intent. Accident. Are you too busy shoving your Lakers memorabilia up your ass to know the difference? Fucking morons.

Accident? So, getting shitfaced all night and hopping behind the wheel of a motor vehicle in the early hours of the morning, driving over the speed limit is an accident? Where's the accountability? Maybe hitting the man with his car was an accident, but driving drunk can hardly be argued as such. Yeah, he was out partying all night and "accidentally" got behind the wheel of his Bentley, "accidently" turned it on, put it in drive and sped off. That sounds pretty believeable. Oh, but forgive me, he's never before "been negatively in the news," so we should cut him a break, right?

Stallworth served 24 days in jail... for killing a human being. Vick spent 21 months in a federal prison for facilitating some dog fights. Seems to be pretty disparate treatment for these two offenses to my mind. I'm not condoning dog fighting, in any way. But Vick was in federal prison for 26x longer than Stallworth, and Stallworth, again, killed someone. There should at least be more parity in sentencing. Stallworth served less than a month in jail, for killing someone! But again, it was his first manslaughter charge, so we should go light on him. Ridiculous.

And as far as Tiger is concerned, give me a break. I couldn't care less if he cheated on his wife with a million hookers and pornstars, and neither should anyone else (except, possibly his sponsors). He's not a reality star, he's an athlete. Whatever scummy things he chooses to do in his personal life are his own decision, and last I checked, cheating on your wife is not a criminal offense, and certainly comes nowhere close to killing a person or a dog for that matter.

And as far as you calling anyone who sees it this way "moronic," or "retarded:" if attaching more value to a man's life and his family's unjust suffering than to mistreating a few dogs and being maritally monagamous is retarded, then I guess you're right, I'm a retard.
 
This thread is sexist. There are no women on the list. They could at least have tried to acknowledge one or two of the worst bitches, pussies and drama queens in professional sports. Like Rafael Nadal or Christiano Ronaldo.
 
He may be polarizing ,but certainly not one of the MOST hated.


The Most popular/famous NBA player in the world on that list? Don't think so.

Why not? Some people are polarizing like you said about Kobe. Just because a lot of people like a person doesn't mean there aren't also a lot of people that loath that person also.

sadly, THIS woman but i hear rumors that she is becoming more and more resistant to the hypnosis. as far as the two critters with her, they're kids and kids are stoooooopid. as far as the dog, he's just looking out for the hottie.

outside of these 4, no one likes kiffin.

Tiger Woods - I bet many of you have cheated in a relationship, so don't hate on Tiger for that. It happens to the best of us and it's not exactly rare, but he was dumb for how he did it. Seriously he hit a fire hydrant and a tree or something like that? In like 300 feet of driving he hit what 5 things? I luled when they showed me his driving area it's like he was playing bumper cars.

Most of those guys don't really piss me off. They're still people who make incredibly dumb decisions. Just because you play sports for money doesn't mean your the smartest tool in the shed.
 
I wish there were a real a-hole PGA star on the list. Unfortunately the only "bad boy" on the tour I can think of is JD, and everyone loves him. But the guy is a true-life train wreck in front of our faces. I guess too many people just empathize with that sort of struggle.

:1orglaugh I think you're mixing up your clichés, Scooter. It's sharpest tool in the shed. You could have also gone with a few bricks short of a load, not the brightest bulb in the box, or a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

But tools cannot be smart. They're inanimate.

After reading all of this I keep looking for "intent." Drunk drivers don't intend to kill people. Because there are so many people who drive drunk and get caught repeatedly--yes, we should look at taking away driving privileges, ratcheting up fines, etc. for drunk drivers. There is no way we could afford to lock up drunk drivers for years. The tax increase needed and the prisons needed to be built would be astronomical. Our society apparently tolerates vehicular homocide because we haven't done much to stop it.

Michael Vick intended to run a dog fighting operation and tortured animals. It's pretty clear cut why he would be hated. Do we really need to argue his case on the list anymore?

Donte Stallworth will probably be getting sued for every penny he has by the victim.

Tiger Woods publicly committed his life to Elin. Most Americans view the bond between husband and wife as sacred. Elin doesn't believe Tiger can fuck who he wants to since she's divorcing him. Again, this one's pretty clear why he's hated. It's not like he told Elin upfront too about all his various sexual conquests. He was lying, covering up voicemails, etc. This kind of behavior offends Americans. If Tiger were single..he would be celebrated as a hero probably.

Well, while you were exploding your load on your Kobe/Lakers poster, my cousin and I were likely downtown getting autographs (got a problem with that?) and Kobe is a fucktard, plain and simple. If you make that kind of money and won't even sign autos for little kids, take a fucking hike, you egomaniacal prick. :2 cents:

And I don't think Vick should be on that list, or at least not that high up.

"Y U Mad"? :1orglaugh

So you are butt hurt because he is winning & wouldn't sign your wittle autograph(which I think is a stupid request anyway)? Of course Kobe is the only celebrity in the history of stardom to turn down pesky kids for an autograpgh.

He is only obligated to Dr Buss whom signed him to that $90 million dollar contract(probably $200 million plus or so for his career) & maybe he is trying to get to practice 3 hours early(like he routinely does) & work hard on his game. All Athletes should be as dedicated.

Man is busy & doesn't have time to sign autographs for every snot nosed kid that runs up to him.
Nor does he have time to worry about haters like you. Because ,as the young kids say, "haters gonnna Hate".
