I have no resentment against Bonds, but comparing his use of steroids to Ruth playing only against whites makes no sense

I have to agree. These are two totally different circumstances, and really, don't compare to each other like you would think.

But, I guess, to each their own.

Barry Bonds was not only a juicer, he was an asshole. Very unlikeable person in general.

As for Clay Matthews, it's part Lions fan bias and part that he strikes me as quite cocky.

Well mine are more Australian orientated.

Shane Warne (think of a white tiger woods that plays cricket only his wife was stupid enough to go back to him even after he cheated so many times on her).

Anthony Mundine (Australian rugby league player turned boxer, claimed he was one of the best sportsmen or boxers only that he never fought really any fighters in their prime) most hated however for his comments regarding other Aboriginals whom he claims are not real Aboriginals.

Ian Thorpe (swimming great). Was as good as any in his prime, then came back from retirement to swim at the last games. Was given a favored run to qualify for the games when really there were plenty of better up and coming swimmers.

That will do for now

I would not compare the circumstances of Barry to Babe. However, I think it would behoove MLB to really acknowledge the all-white era by drawing a line to acknowledge the start of the true "modern" era of baseball, that we can say began with Jackie Robinson.

As for players I dislike, I would just say anybody who abuses their spouse would top my list, and there are too many to name. I could care less what the media thinks of a players attitude. How many times can you really be cool with a slobbering doughboy asking you about your 0 for 4, while you are an active HOF'er and you carry teams on your shoulders(Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Manny Ramirez, etc, etc)

Carlos Zambrano was full of shit for Cubs fans in his last few years on the team.
Also Manny Ramirez's behavior after it came out he used PEDs was dispicable.
That's all I've got that hasn't been said right now.

Probably a lot, but the first that come off the top of my head are Russell Wilson (come on Russell, we all know you guys didn't win the Inaccurate Reception game) and all steroid/PED users.

You hate Wilson because of that? It wasn't his fault. Blame the refs for that

Just that it seemed like that game made him seem like a great QB and the Seahawks were celebrating and all.

Then again you almost never have the same view as me on stuff, so whatever.

Brett Farve? Although I get why he did it, although he could have stayed with the packers and helped out Rodgers. Now he will be hated forever in Wisconsin and Minnesota, yay. :lol:

Ty Cobb as well, he was just a moron.


I dunno what else to say.

Ty Cobb is one of those players where you respect their skills as a player but hate as a person. But here's my list

-Barry Bonds
-Metta World Peace
-Michael Vick
-Floyd Mayweather Jr. (I don't watch boxing, he just seems like a douche)
-OJ Simpson
-Kobe Bryant (I love him and I hate him)
-Sammy Sosa
-Various Players on the New York Giants
