most hated sports figure.... any sport?
 

Who do you hate the most in the world of sports and why?

I friggen can't stand Jeff Gordon.. just the sight of him just drives me insane.. He just comes across as the most arrogant a-hole ever!!!

Re: most hated sports figure.... any sport?
 

Joe Morgan. Sunday Night Baseball would be infinitely more enjoyable without him.

How soon until someone posts Barry Bonds?

Re: most hated sports figure.... any sport?
 

Barry Bonds. End of thread?

Re: most hated sports figure.... any sport?
 

Joey Porter. That cheap shot he took against Todd Heap last year was the most bush league thing I have ever seen in the NFL.

John Ruiz.

Obviously I'm a Steelers fan...

My bad--I answered the most universally hated. Ruiz hasn't really done anything except be incredibly boring so for myself, I'll go with Bonds of course. Mayweather Jr. is a strong up-and-comer in this catergory though.

I hate Baron Davis.
He cost me a grand. Also, I almost broke my toe.
Four years ago or so, in the playoffs, I had a middle on one of the games. (Half juice on one side and no juice on the other with a two point middle with $500 on each side.)

End of the game, a blowout, and teams are shaking hands. Some scrub puts up a shot (which he misses). Baron Davis rebounds the ball and puts it back for no apparent reason. Time had expired before he got his shot off, but nothing hinged on it--at least as far as the refs were concerned, so they didn't review the play. I kicked a chair. Goodbye middle.

The answer for sports figure I hate for cause is Gary Sheffield. I was a Brewers fan at the time he was playing for them. He admitted to purposefully dogging it in order to try to get traded. He's an assclown.

I think if you are talking about all time, Ty Cobb easily beats out Bonds.

Granted, as a Niners fan I wanted to spit in the face of JJ Stokes. Now sucker punching a backup tight end, that's class.

Laimbeer for obvious reasons gets my vote for all-time.

More recently, Rick Fox. I'm surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet.

John Rocker
Mike Tyson

Someone dig up the list that Fox Sports did on the top 10 most hated players. Then we can debate it. I can't see how the hell people like Rick Fox and Reggie Miller end up on this list.

Barry Bonds
 

and it's not even close.

Re: most hated sports figure.... any sport?
 

Kobe Bryant, Barry Bonds, Mike Tyson are all first class jerks. Take your pick.

He really gave that extra effort when he blatantly punched Rashaan Salaam in the nuts during a pile up.
