[happygirl]

My top three no certain order

Ray Kruth
OJ Simpson
Micheal Vick

OJ and Lawrence Taylor need to be on that list.

I would add the Williams sisters. They never give credit to other players and never take the blame for their own losing.

Maybe I didn't read closely, but who was polled to come up with this list? (The "official" list, not our Dis input! )

This reminds me of my Mom's favorite saying: "who'd they ask, they didn't ask ME."

The poll was done by Forbes magazine. Here is their article on the results:

I guess Forbes did the survey because they're all about what people are worth, and if you're a disliked sports figure, you can kiss your endorsement deals buh-bye.

Oh, I'm glad Michael Vick is #1, POS that he is. Other than that, I don't know who more than half of those people are!

Your DH hates the Yankees?? What kind of New Jerseyite is he? Tell me he loves the Red Sox! LOL I'm assuming tho that he's a Mets fan?

Ahh...the Mets. Boo Yankees! My BIL is from NJ also and he's a die hard Yankees fan. I guess you really are one or the other!

also dead for a long long time...

However, a bit surprised Rose isnt on the list.

I opened the thread to see if Rose was listed. I wouldn't can myself a Rose fan by any means but I like him and hate that all that happened.

I don't care for Jerry Jones. I think that most people have forgiven Pete Rose.

Not that I *needed* to forgive Pete Rose but I guess you could say that.

Mike Tyson, OJ Simpson, Michael Vick and the whole 1973 Oakland A's team get my vote. Ok, the first 3 I really mean.

Why isn't OJ on that list? Maybe people don't see him as a sports figure anymore.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. Thanks!
