Ok...list athletes you want to hate...but just can't... |
|
For me:
Shaquille O'Neal - George Mikan thing was a class act
Roger Clemens - he is so f'in good I just can't hate him...even though I think he is a bit of a blowhard
Cal Ripken - Hated him when he won Rookie of the Year over Kent Hrbek (that still sticks in my craw), but the guy is so classy in public I just couldn't stay mad

8. Brett Favre, cos he's a Cheesehead |
|
but he is such a regular guy and such a wonderful quarterback I just can't bring myself to dislike him. He's the kind of guy who would have played for $50/game in a leather helmet back int the 1930s.
Shaq - for such a hyped athlete he has retained a sense of humor about himself and he puts a lot of money into charitable causes. He comes across as a big, goofy kid sometimes, but he appreciates the things he has obtained in life.
Derek Jeter - because he's rich, good-looking and a Yankee - but he's too much of a class act to dislike.

I really wanna hate him for dissing his team, but at the same time, I understand that he has an anxiety problem. Plus, he's a great running back!

11. I don't want to hate anyone. My hatred is hard earned |
|
I can't think of an athelete I hate. Closest would be Robin Ventura, because of his rushing Nolan Ryan. Yeah, when I do hate, I don't let go! :-)

Namely for his generous RW contributions. He does, however, possess unquestionable charachter for a pro athlete, and does a lot of charity work. And he's a hell of a running back. I gotta love the Bus.
