The Most Hated Franchise in Sports?

[Genesis 1.0]

It's purely speculative & based purely on bias but of all the sports you consider yourself a fan of, which franchise do you hate the most? I'd have to itemize my own & then narrow it down.

NFL: Steelers, Jets, Patriots

NBA: Celtics, Heat, Spurs

NCAAB: UNC, Kentucky, OSU, Kansas

NCAAF: LSU, USC, Arkansas

NHL: Pittsburgh Penguins, Vancouver

MLB: Red Sox Bastards


Now if I was forced to concentrate all that suck into a single crown? The Steelers followed closely by the Tar Heels. If there's ever been a more insufferable & arrogant group of *****ebags.....

Present company excluded.

 

[SoNicRaDiATioN]

MLB: Yankees
NFL: Patriots
NHL: Flyers
NBA: Lakers

Overall: Lakers

There's only really one team I legitmately hate in all of sports.

Notre Dame

And Genesis, why Arkansas?

 

[Themanofbat]

My own personal opinion....

NFL: the Cowboys (with the Giants being a close second)

NBA: the Lakers

NHL: the Canadiens

MLB: the Yankees

Most hated team in all sportsdome... the Montréal Canadiens...

There's only really one team I legitmately hate in all of sports.

Notre Dame

And Genesis, why Arkansas?

Personally, I think they're overrated & I hate their style of play, they get away with some pretty cheap shots that rarely ever get a whistle, just garbage.

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

NFL: New Orleans Saints
MLB: Mets, Phillies
NBA: Heat
NCAA Football: Florida, Georgia Tech

 

[BatSpider]

1.Heat
2.Yanks
3.Cowboys

That is the top 3 no questions asked.

 

[Pym.]

The Green Bay Packers.

My hatred for them is only worsened by the fact they seem to be everyone's second team.

 

[Themanofbat]

I think it's hilarious that the Heat makes these lists... 2 years ago, people didn't think twice about Miami...

I hope they win it all...

 

[nocomics]

NFL: Patriots
MLB: Yanks/Sox/Cubs
NBA: Lakers
NHL: Detroit

* I wont get into soccer or college sports as I really don't pay attention to them at all.

* I'm so tired of ESPN and all other press that continually talk about Sox/Yanks like they are the only teams playing.

* I'm from St.Louis so automatically I hate Pats, Cubs, Detroit; those are main ones for me at least.

 

[Rowsdower!]

NFL: Ravens, Cowboys, Patriots
NHL: Flyers, Capitals, Rangers
MLB: Braves
NBA: Heat, and any other team LeBron might play for down the road

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Even if he goes back to the Cavs?

 

[Hush]

Being from STL I hate the Redwings, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Blackhawks, Cubs and kU.

Can't say I hate east coast teams because I was born in Mass but I hate the east coast bias on ESPN.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

NFL-Packers, Cowboys
NBA-Lakers, Heat, Knicks, Celtics
MLB-Yankees, Cardinals, Dodgers
NHL-Redwings, Canadiens, Kings

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Not my personal opinion, but what I observe to be the most hated teams.

NFL - Cowboys. The Steelers have a lot of enemies too, but everyone who is not a Cowboys fan is united by their hatred of the Cowboys.
NBA - Lakers. The Heat have overtaken them lately, but it remains to be seen how long it will last. Traditionally, the Lakers are the most hated team in the NBA.
MLB - Yankees. The most hated team in all of sports right here. At least the Cowboys are held in check by a salary cap.
NHL - There doesn't really seem to be a team that is overwhelmingly hated in the NHL like in the other leagues. It is more based on local rivalries. That said, the Red Wings and Maple Leafs probably get the most hate.
NCAAB - Duke. ESPN's favorite team.
NCAAF - USC or possibly Miami.

 

[SpeterMan3]

The overall most hated has to be either Yankees or Lakers. I like neither.

 

[TheWatcher]

Duke,NYY and the Lakers. Overrated, overhyped, and overdone.

 

[Kurosawa]

My personal most hated teams:

MLB: Red Sox
NFL: Patriots
NBA: the entire league
NHL: Bruins
NCAAB: Whatever college Calapari is coaching
NCCAF: Michigan

 

[Yurka]

NFL: Patriots, Ravens, Cowboys.
MLB: None really, I don't really follow baseball closely enough but I hate everything that comes out of Philadelphia so I guess the Phillies.
NHL: Flyers, Capitals, Red Wings.
NCAAF: Michigan
NBA: Don't care.

Patriots and Ravens are probably tied as my two most hated. Patriots maybe slightly more because they've beaten the Steelers in big games multiple times, and alot of the Pats fans I know are delusional and incredibly arrogant. Ravens because, well, they're the Ravens, and they have some of the most obnoxious, stupid fans I've ever met in the world.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Heh, I love it, all this hate, it's what makes being a sports fan so much more fun.

 

[Duke]

My own personal hate:

MLB: Dodgers, D-bags, Yankees, & Angels
NBA: Lakers, Heat, Celtics, & Spurs
NFL: Giants, Cowboys, Packers, & Raiders

 

[Anubis]

NBA: The Heat

Every other sport can suck it.

 

[bbf2]

NBA: Celtics
MLB: Red Sox, Yankees
NFL: Steelers, Patriots
NHL: Bruins, Sharks
NCAAF: USC
NCAAB: Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, UNC

Been a pretty rough decade, especially in NCAA basketball. The last team to win the title that I didn't absolutely despise was Syracuse in 2003.

NFL: Pats*, Cowgirls (I pity the ravens more than hate them)
MLB: Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox
