Most Hated Team In Sports

[Sureal]

Pick 5 of them college or pro team

Mine

1. The Evil Empire
2. USC (Football)
3. Duke (Basketball)
4. LA Lakers
5. Florida (Football)

 

[IRISHDODGER]

My top 5 would be:

USC football
New York Yankees
Miami football
LSU football
Florida St. football

I believe if you polled the general sports audience the top 5 would incl:

New York Yankees
Dallas Cowboys
Notre Dame football
Duke basketball
and maybe Los Angeles Lakers

It was tough to think of a consensus 5th most hated team. Nationally, though, I think it's a tribute to that respectful team b/c all the aforementioned are pretty polarizing when it comes to sports: they're either loved or hated.

 

[Sureal]

Agreed with the general sports audience

What I am getting at is the your personal most hated sports team.

Should have worded the title better...

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

The teams I hate the most are:
Penn St. (everything)
NY Yankees
Dallas Cowboys
NY Rangers
LA Lakers

But, I would rather any of those teams win every game than to have Penn St. win. I hope the Nittany Kittens lose every game in every sport every year. I hope their chess team loses too.

Go Irish!

1. USC football - I'm sure their fanbase will say we have a stick up our ass too, but their fans remind me of that annoying weak kid that taunts you for no apparent reason, then runs to the teacher to taddle on you for cursing back at him. Sidenote: as a Bulls fan, I also hold a grudge against their current hoops coach, Tim Floyd.

2. New York Yankees - Their owner may be a good business man, but when he's grabbing more headlines than the team, something is wrong. The Mav's owner, Cuban, is annoying, but he doesn't feel entitled to excellence. George takes it too far, and I just don't get the love affair, so a lot of times their fans just leave me confused. The answer is yes, I was glued to the TV when the Red Sox rallied like they did - best post season series ever.

3. Oakland Raiders - "Just win baby" got real old for me real fast. I like some of the veteran reclamation projects they take in, but Bill Romanowski? Warren Sapp? Randy Moss? Talk about bad role models... even Tim Brown couldn't save that organization for me. And now that they're just old and utterly indecisive, no leadership or stability, nor fresh thinking. I'm very happy Quinn wasn't taken #1 overall, in case you couldn't tell.

4. Florida State football - Bowdin's presence is too much to ignore here. If they didn't have guys like Warrick Dunn or Derrick Brooks, I'd be railing about them constantly. You'll never see me more irritated by organized sport than when FSU and Miami face off. I sincerely hope that one of these days they play to a quintuple OT, and exhaust each other for the rest of the season.

5. Miami Heat - Tim Hardaway and Pat Reilly sum up my feelings about that organization. Tim decides to throw down with the Knicks, and Pat Reilly just ups and leaves mid season, when the team needs him most. Their designated thugs in James Posey and Udonis Haslem irritate the crap out of me too.

Honorable mention: Duke hoops. I happen to like their coach, and many of their ex-players (Shane Battier, Luol Deng), but the rest of that program makes me nauseous. And yes, Dick Vitale counts as part of the problem in my eyes.

UConn Mens Basketball Team??? Blasphemy!!! What you ain't drink the kool-aid?

I am, but not originally. Part of why I don't like UConn is that I grew up a big Villanova fan in the Philadelphia area.

However, the major reason why I don't like UConn and have not in the last 15 years that I have lived here is because, to put it mildly, I dislike Jim Calhoun. Calhoun is a great basketball coach, but one of the phoniest human beings walking on the planet. When I first moved here, whenever he was interviewed, he would talk so fast that it sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. What he had to say was unintelligible, and I'm sure that was done on purpose. Now, he talks much slower, but God forbid anyone should disagree with him, or criticize his wonderful program, for if they do, they should be ready to be smitten by the Sword of Gideon. Academically, the UConn program is a joke, with just about the worst graduation rate of any major college sports program in the country, even the GSR doesn't work for UConn. Obcourse, why should it be any different when he only recruits kids knowing that they will be leaving after their freshman, or sophomore year. The UConn basketball program is not a college program, it is nothing more than a minor league training camp for the NBA. Calhoun and his philosophy is symbolic of the overall NCAA hypocrisy regarding the use of the term "student athletes" If I live in CT for another 50 years, I will never imbibe of that kool-aid.

Oh, and BTW did you know that I don't care for Jim Calhoun and the UConn basketball program.

4. The Turkish National Table Tennis Team

LOL reps...

3.) USC (U niversity of S poiled C hildren)
4.) Mexico National Soccer Team (unlike hcti my internationl ref. is for real... dirty and America hating)
5.) Lakers (aka the Fakers)

 

[Sureal]

Although I am a UConn basketball fan (ride or die) I can agree with you with the academic situation with the ball team. The Marcus Williams sitation was ridiculous and you would think that Marcus would at least stay another year out of gratitude after that charity.

That is correct. I don't care about Duke Football until they start to matter. My hatred for Duke B-Ball goes way back to All American Danny Ferry. As for USC I can't stand their football team but as for their basketball team, well they choke so much I just don't care about them one way or the other...
